Her mother named her Marisa, but her teacher Ram Dass blessed her with the name Radha.

In 2018 she was visiting Ram Dass at his home in Maui, supporting her partner who was working on an album with him. At the end of the recording session, after giving the name Krishna to her partner, and with a twinkle in his eye, he looked straight at her and said, "And you, you are Radha!" Then slapped his thigh and laughed like it was the most delightful thing in the world. She laughed with him, full of joy. She likes it when people call her Radha. It reminds her of her connection to her beloved teacher and invites her to be as deeply devoted, loving and generous as possible.
