Rituel’s private work is intimate, highly personal, and shaped around the threshold each client is crossing.

RITE de PASSAGE

“Eve is love embodied. The way she is able to see others as they truly are no matter what they are going through is a true gift. She holds space for the most tender and difficult moments and energetically holds your hand while she walks you across the bridge of change and stays with you on the other side until you feel safe to walk alone.

She is a true visionary that carves a beautiful path for all. Her intuition is a loving guide that’s supported by her years of studied knowledge and wisdom. The care she provides for her land is the same care infused into her profoundly personalized Rites de Passage. I truly feel so grateful for Eve and couldn’t imagine this time without her love and wisdom.”
— Juliette

“My Rite de Passage with Eve over these last several months has been absolutely life changing. I started feeling like I was at a crossroads and seeking support and guidance, and what I was brought back to was a true sense of confidence and connection to who I am and where I want to take my life from here.

It feels like we peeled back so many layers that were holding me back from trusting myself, and now I feel free and powerful. Work with Eve if you have the opportunity. She is a true miracle worker and radiates so much love.”
— Bethany

“With her generosity of spirit, spot-on intuition, and wisdom, Eve is the perfect guide. Throughout my Rite of Passage I felt deeply honored and witnessed in my fullness. Eve could perceive and engage both what was emergent and what was ready to be transformed.

She facilitates a responsive space of tender beauty where my true desires could be held and tended; and I could finally cross the threshold into what I have longed for.”
— Katrina

THRESHOLD CEREMONIES

“Eve created an incredible experience for me at a gorgeous venue to honor my passage into 50 with a full Threshold Ceremony and custom celebration. It was one of the most meaningful experiences I have ever given myself.

From the beginning, I felt welcomed, cared for, and completely held. Every part of the experience felt intentional — the massage, the bath, the quiet pauses, and the way everything unfolded with such tenderness and care.

What stayed with me most was how deeply the experience allowed me to soften. I felt myself letting go in a way I hadn’t in a long time. It was more than relaxing. It felt deeply personal. I realized how rarely I allow myself to fully receive care without feeling like I have to earn it first.

At one point, a kind of stillness settled in. Not just in my body, but somewhere deeper. I did not know how much I needed that until I was in it.

The ceremony created in honor of this milestone birthday was thoughtful, intimate, and incredibly moving. I felt truly seen — not just for turning fifty, but for the life I have lived and the threshold I am stepping into. It brought tears to my eyes in the most beautiful way.

I left feeling clearer, steadier, and more alive. It felt like I had genuinely marked this transition instead of simply letting it pass. The impact of that experience is something I am still carrying with me.

I cannot recommend this highly enough. It is a rare and extraordinary gift to yourself.”
— Liz

“Modern life can often feel empty, as we suffer through an epidemic of loneliness despite our digital ability to connect like never before. The lost art of human connection, of celebrating our life’s moments with depth and reverence, has drifted through our busied fingers.

Eve helps us close our hands around our hearts, around our humanity, and brings us back to a lost art — of finding one’s self in the presence of a ceremony, guided by a wise and wonderful soul. Give yourself the honored gift of sitting with Eve. My life has felt all the richer for it.”
— Christina

“The engagement ceremony Eve created for me was one of the most beautiful days of my life. It was beyond anything I could have imagined — an experience of being truly seen, honored, and held.

Every detail felt intentional and deeply personal. Eve understood what mattered most to me and created a ceremony that felt completely true to who I am and to the significance of the moment. Everyone there felt so moved. Eve has such ease and skill and creating something intimate, beautiful, and unforgettable.

She has an extraordinary gift for honoring life’s meaningful thresholds. What she created will stay with me forever.”

— Megan

NEW CHAPTERS

“Eve led me through the most exquisite process of transition and created such a beautiful ceremony when I transitioned into a new career and launched my new business. She was thoughtful, intentional, and supportive during and through the entire process.

She took the time to make sure she understood each element of what would be represented, left behind, and brought energetically into this next chapter. She connected with each guest in advance so they could offer a contribution or prayer. She took the time to get clear on my intention and what I wanted to share as I walked this new path.

I had time to sit with her and the land in sessions before we began and after the Rite of Passage journey, and that meant so much to me. She curated a visually, emotionally, and physically beautiful space that felt full of love and support for this special time. It was a space that encouraged vulnerability, connection, community, and a portal to usher in a new path.

I would highly recommend working with Eve. Her strong feminine energy made me feel supported, loved, seen, and heard. Eve is pure magic, and she brings this magic with her and sprinkles it onto everything she does. She has a very gentle, nurturing way.”
— Shannon

“Eve created a magical experience for our family blessing ceremony that we will remember forever. She wove in blessings for our baby, our new roles as parents, and our new home, which was incredibly special to us.

From the words Eve spoke to the flowers and crystals that were chosen, everything was so meaningfully put together to honor this new chapter and transition. We were moved to tears by her warmth and care and the love she poured into the ceremony. Thank you, Eve, for holding such a beautiful blessing for our family.”
— Kristina

PRIVATE HEALING JOURNEYS

“I have just completed an 8-session private healing journey with Eve, and I am feeling so blessed and grateful that my friend Linda connected us. I had a very clear intention going into the work and I can only say that miracles do happen.

Eve worked with me on my own life and those of my maternal line. Each visit, she arrived with a basket of marvelous flowers, or tarot cards, or bath salts — gifts with which to conduct her ceremonies. We had beautiful conversations and card readings, and her healing drumming shifted my energy in a way I can’t explain but felt profoundly.

I hope you too get to experience the healing powers of Eve.”
— Caroline

CELEBRATIONS OF LIFE

“Honoring my parents’ lives in a Celebration of Life ceremony led by Eve Gaines was one of the most profound and meaningful experiences of my life. My brother and sister and I, along with our spouses and children, gathered together at the top of the Santa Monica Mountains. The stunning backdrop of the mountains and sky and ocean comforted us and created an atmosphere of peace and tranquility.

It was an incredibly spiritual and profoundly beautiful experience. Eve led the ceremony with grace and compassion. Her words resonated deeply, capturing the essence of our parents’ lives. The thoughtful ceremony that she crafted helped us to process the significance of their passing on a profound level.

It was a truly unforgettable tribute to our parents, filled with love, reverence, and a sense of unity among all who attended. I am forever grateful for Eve’s guidance and the space she created for us to honor and celebrate our parents. There are no words to express how much it meant and will always mean. It will influence generations to come.”
— Dana
