The name "She Rise" is derived from my middle name, "Cherise." When I needed to come up with a name for my business, I spent weeks feeling stuck as nothing I created or that others suggested seemed to fit. Determined to find a name that truly represented me and my brand, I decided to meditate deeply for inner clarity.

During this meditation, my name kept coming to mind—Nicole Cherise. While I recognized that it was my name, the idea of "Cherise" persisted. I continued to focus on my middle name and then it struck me: the unique spelling stood out to me, and in my experience, I had only ever seen it written this way in my name. In that moment, it all made sense—"She Rise" perfectly encapsulated the deep transformation I was going through.

As a child, I always had a love for crystals, but my interest was often viewed as taboo and uncool, which caused me to drift away from it. After leaving my previous career, I rediscovered my passion for crystals and began to explore my spirituality more deeply. This journey of self-discovery ultimately led me to start my own business, freeing me from the constraints of a traditional 9-to-5 job.

During this difficult time in my life, crystals became a vital support system for me. Although my previous position was considered prestigious by my peers, many thought I was foolish for leaving it behind. However, I felt that I was reclaiming my power to choose and pursue my dreams while closing the door on a past filled with illusions and limiting beliefs.

What She Rise offers is a brand that champions personal transformation, granting permission to grow and change without fear of judgment. It recognizes the power inherent in being a woman—soft yet fierce, elegant yet wild. She is able to step into the unknown with beauty, grace, confidence,and courage, while remaining grateful for all the magic she has encountered and reminisces of old versions of self she leaves behind as she rises into higher realms of divinity.
