Ina Rifai - Biography
Her story, gifts, and aspirations
Ina Rifai, a loving mother and wife, originated from Bogor, Indonesia. Born into a lineage of traditional spiritual healers of many generations, she was initiated into her family healing lineage since childhood, and her gifts flourishes as time goes. With humbleness and sincerity, her special gifts finds itself to have guided and supported others with their own healing & spiritual journey.
Since 2020, Ina has been sharing her gifts across the world - Mexico, United States, Spain, and Indonesia. What makes her gifts impactful is her unique ability to see and communicate with the spirit world. This deep connection allows her to tap into a person’s essence - pain, traumas, and other low-vibration energy that may be blocking their path in life. Through intuitive touch and sharing what she sees (similar to psychotherapy in the west), she helps release and restore their energetic flow.
What makes others truly resonate with Ina and her work is not only because of her gifts, but also the wisdom she carries as an individual - shaped by her own struggles and pain in life. She grew up in a low-income household with seven younger siblings, endured deep grief of loved ones, and navigated through financial hardship while being a single-parent. Her journey, marked by hardship and healing, reflects challenges many know but rarely speak of - but it led her to a path of being in service and becoming an inspirational figure for many.
As Ina often remind others:
“Life is temporary, so enjoy what you do because we never know how long we live. We are here to create memories, and in whatever we do, we do it from the heart. Apapun yang kita tabur, akan kita tuai, karena itulah hukum alam.
With the little gifts I have, it may not for change or fix anyone, but it is to inspire them.”
