Reginah WaterSpirit was born in The Bronx, New York and moved to Southern California when she was 3 years old. She owned and operated a number of garment industry-related businesses, attended the University of California, Los Angeles, and traveled extensively in the United States and Europe as a young adult.
Reginah studied the Voice Dialogue method with Dr. Sidra Stone and the late Dr. Hal Stone, eventually becoming a facilitator and teacher in this field. Her interest in psycho-spiritual paths led her to New Mexico and eventually to Marcellus Bear Heart Williams, a member of the Muscogee Creek Nation.
