Lineage
Mexican & Mesoamerican Traditional Medicine
Mexican Traditional Health practitioners - parteras (midwives), yerberas (herbalists), curanderas (healers), sabadores (massage therapist), bone-setters, and people of prayer, passed their knowledge down from generation to generation. These traditional beliefs and practices of healing are still rooted within the many indigenous cultures that have settled mainly in the southern and eastern parts of this country. These healers, descendants of the ancient Mexicas; Aztecs, Huastecos, Mayas, Olmecas, Teotihuacans, Toltecs, Zapotecs and many many others, practiced the traditions of indigenous medicine which are widely known even today for the powers of medicinal herbs and spiritual practices. These indigenous peoples believe disease exists not only in the person’s body but also in their spirit, which unites them to the earth and sky, to the wind and waters, and to the animals and minerals.
I take pride in promoting and preserving these ancient techniques with much love and respect to my ancestors and healing lineage.

Rebozo Therapy
Healing Through Textiles
Rebozos are used as somatic care tools to support anyone throughout life. We use a variety of techniques, including stretching and sifting stagnant energy. Used to hold your body while it processes being compassionately held.
Apprenticeships
Knowledge Through Experinece
Offering space and time for the community to learn from my life's teachings. As the request has grown over the years, I am opening the door to those who are interested in diving deep into rebozo care.
Reiki
Knowledge Through Experinece
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying hands on" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive.
Our Approach
Culturally Sensitive Care
We believe in a holistic approach to healing and wellness. We honor the traditional practices that have been passed down through generations and our focus is to create a safe and welcoming space where anyone can feel seen, heard, and supported.
My path of learning from several elders has taught me how important it is to re-connect to ourselves and with our natural cycles, rhythms and vibration. And how nature plays a big part in our healing. We should honor and respect mother Earth, Tonanzin. These techniques can aide in just that, reconnection, which include drumming using a sonaja (Mexican rattle) and canto/singing. As well as limpias (cleansings) using eggs, herbs/brooms or feathers and the burning of dried herbs or resins like copal. One of the oldest tools is the platica, the oral tradition of holding space. I also incorporate the use of Tibetan singing bowls, crystals and hot stones. As well as Rebozo Therapy if needed.
