House of Ascend is a sacred practice created by Suraya Sam — a home for remembrance, ritual, and soul-rooted living. Rooted in ancestral wisdom and guided by the rhythms of nature, it offers transformational pathways for those who feel the call to return to their essence.

Through sacred movement, sound healing, breathwork, womb wisdom, and elemental ceremony, House of Ascend weaves ancient practices into modern life. It is a space where the body becomes an altar, the breath becomes a prayer, and healing becomes a journey of remembering what was never truly lost.

Here, healing is not something to seek but something to come home to. Each offering is an invitation to reconnect with your inner rhythm, your sacred lineage, and the quiet power that lives within.

about the founder

Suraya Sam is a sacred space holder, sound weaver, and guide of feminine remembrance. For over 15 years, she has walked the path of ritual, embodiment, and ancestral healing — offering transformational journeys across the world through ceremony, movement, sound, and breath.

Her work is rooted in the wisdom of the womb, the rhythm of the earth, and the quiet language of the unseen. Drawing from her ancestral lineages and deep connection to elemental practice, Suraya creates sacred spaces where others can soften, unravel, and return to their essence.

Through House of Ascend and her teachings, Suraya invites others into a deeper rhythm — one that honours the body as altar, the breath as prayer, and the soul as guide. Her presence is a gentle transmission, a call to remember what has always been within.

This broad and sacred lineage informs every session, circle, and retreat she holds, infused with sound, stillness, ceremony, and cyclical wisdom. Her offerings are not tied to one tradition but woven from many threads, an honouring of the teachers, elements, and embodied truths that have shaped her way of holding space.

  • “Suraya doesn’t just hold space—she becomes the space. I’ve never felt so deeply seen, so gently invited back into myself.”

  • “Every ceremony with Suraya feels like coming home. Her presence is soft, rooted, and powerful all at once.”

  • “This work changed me. Not in loud, dramatic ways, but in quiet, cellular shifts. I now trust my body. I honour my rest. I remember who I am.”

  • “The retreat felt like a sacred exhale. I left with more than I came for, with clarity, connection, and a sense of wholeness I didn’t know I’d been missing.”

  • “The womb space Suraya creates is unlike anything I’ve experienced. It’s deep, tender, and wildly empowering.”
