Reverend Mother Sienna Terranova
Reverend Mother Sienna Terranova is a practicing minister, spiritual guide and long established practitioner whose work bridges disciplined mastery level training with heartfelt spiritual presence. Her path has been shaped by nearly two decades of ordained ministry, years of devotional practice within sacred spiritual communities and extensive experience guiding individuals through transformative inner work both with and without sacred medicines.
Sienna was initially ordained Reverend Mother through Missionary Independent Spiritual Church in Forestville, California- where she studied and served under the mentorship of Rev. Miss Catherine Yronwode. Through this lineage, she received foundational education in interfaith Spiritualist ministry, spiritual counseling, prayer work and ritual service. Cat’s teachings emphasized ethical discernment, personal responsibility and compassionate care- shaping Sienna’s understanding of ministry as both sacred divine service and grounded, interconnected human support. She has served as an ordained reverend within this tradition for nearly twenty years.
Deepened Practice & Integrated Guidance
In the years that followed Sienna deepened her spiritual journey through sustained practice with Chavah Aima at Enlightened Life Temple in Denver, Colorado. Immersed in contemplative study, meditation, embodied ritual and yogic and mystical traditions from both East and West, she cultivated a spirituality rooted not only in knowledge, but in the wisdom of lived experience and inner transformation. This period of apprenticeship and devotional practice culminated in her ordination as a Reverend of Enlightened Life Temple in October 2025.
Alongside her ministerial path, Sienna draws upon decades of experience as a highly regarded sacred medicine practitioner, facilitator and guide supporting individuals through intentional and carefully held processes of self-inquiry, integration and healing. Her work in this field is informed by deep respect for tradition, an emphasis on in-depth exploration of purpose and intentions, ongoing spiritual counseling and community engagement, and a trauma-aware, holistically attuned approach to care.
Sienna’s work is distinguished by the way these paths are woven together. Her guidance reflects the precision and responsibility of a highly trained practitioner alongside a deeply embodied spiritual presence grounded in compassion, humility and reverence for everyone’s journey. Whether serving in ceremony, pastoral care, or one-to-one support she brings a level of care that honors both the science of the body and mind and the mystery of the soul.
Her ministry and facilitation are rooted in a simple commitment: to meet people where they are, hold space with integrity and walk alongside transformation with clarity, compassion and respect.
