After nearly two decades of shared personal, spiritual, and professional life, renowned spiritual teachers and wellness mentors Riz Mirza and Oriah Hera Mirza have announced their decision to consciously uncouple.
The couple, who have spent the past 17 years building a family, guiding clients through transformative healing work, and co-creating ventures including Chakra Cozy, opened up about the transition in an exclusive feature with Us Weekly. Rather than viewing the end of their marriage as an adversarial split, both emphasize that the decision marks a natural and respectful evolution of their relationship.
"For seventeen years, Riz and I have walked a path together, co-creating, building, and evolving," Oriah shared. "Our marital journey has reached its natural conclusion, but our shared mission remains unchanged. We are consciously uncoupling, choosing to separate as partners while continuing to navigate life aligned in our work, friendship, and our commitment to Chakra Cozy."
Oriah, now a new Safety Harbor, Florida resident described the transition as a conscious step into personal sovereignty and emotional authenticity, noting that choosing to part ways romantically allows both individuals to honor their growth without compromising their core values or mutual respect.
The pair affirmed that their shared dedication to their family and community remains steadfast. Instead of severing ties, they intend to model a collaborative, respectful path forward&mdash;demonstrating how long-term partners can transition out of romance while preserving their foundation of mutual care, business alignment, and shared purpose.
As their joint announcement noted: "We move forward separately, yet together in purpose."

Five Participants Selected By October 15
Filming dates will be arranged with selected participants.
NOW CASTING &mdash; ORIAH&rsquo;S NEST 
Your Home Should Give You Somewhere To Exhale.
Does your space leave you feeling overwhelmed instead of rested?
We&rsquo;re seeking five participants total across all categories in Safety Harbor, Clearwater, Dunedin, and Tampa Bay for FREE personal sanctuary room upgrades with intuitive empath and sanctuary designer Oriah Hera.
This project centers highly sensitive individuals&mdash;especially empaths&mdash;who need somewhere to decompress, recharge, and rest. Your room will be customized to your personality, sensory preferences, access needs, and everyday life.
WHO WE&rsquo;RE LOOKING FOR
&bull; Wheelchair users 
&bull; Families with a child with ADHD or sensory overwhelm 
&bull; New parents 
&bull; Urban professionals experiencing burnout 
&bull; First responders working under high stress 
&bull; Older adults who work from home
Each selected participant receives one personal room makeover. Parents or legal guardians must apply for children.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE
A free, personalized room refresh using thoughtful lighting, comfortable textures, suitable furnishings, and reclaimed or recycled materials&mdash;including items you already own and would like us to incorporate.
You keep the furnishings and decor provided for your sanctuary.
We can consider bedrooms, living rooms, spare rooms, offices, children&rsquo;s rooms, kitchens, and&mdash;with a limited scope&mdash;bathrooms. We&rsquo;re focusing on a small room or corner, ideally around 10 &times; 10 feet or smaller.
Possible styles include:
&bull; Fairy-Inspired 
&bull; Monochromatic 
&bull; Witch Apothecary 
&bull; Jungle 
&bull; Spa 
&bull; Bohemian 
&bull; Plant Sanctuary
The pictured rooms are design examples. Your space will be tailored to you.
These spaces support everyday comfort and nervous-system decompression; they are not medical treatment.
MEET ORIAH HERA
Oriah is a sanctuary designer, working artist, mother of five, Editor-in-Chief of Chakra Cozy Magazine, and a trauma life coach with more than 25 years of experience.
Her work brings together sensory comfort, thoughtful design, reclaimed materials, and a deeply personal understanding of needing a peaceful place to land.
IMPORTANT PROJECT NOTES
&bull; We&rsquo;re working with a modest budget. This is a focused redecoration of an existing space&mdash;not major construction, extensive remodeling, or a major cleanout. 
&bull; Some agreed elements may be nailed or glued to walls. These details will be discussed and approved before work begins; fixings and adhesives may leave marks. 
&bull; Furnishings and decor are intended to be movable. 
&bull; Where appropriate, a self-contained, movable water feature may be included. No permanent plumbing installation is planned. 
&bull; Water features will not be included in children&rsquo;s rooms or monochromatic rooms. 
&bull; You must have somewhere to store furniture removed from the room, such as a couch, table, or bed.
ABOUT FILMING
We&rsquo;re creating a TV-show pitch trailer, not a television episode scheduled for broadcast.
Participation includes:
&bull; An initial video or FaceTime consultation to determine whether your needs and space fit the project. 
&bull; One filming day for the &ldquo;before,&rdquo; room tour, consultation, and initial interviews. 
&bull; One filming day for the reveal and follow-up interviews. 
&bull; Flexible filming dates arranged with selected participants. Planning is underway now. 
&bull; No acting experience required.
Pets must be safely secured away from the crew and filming area. Please mention service-animal requirements when applying so we can plan appropriate access.
