We each have a don or gift.
Mine is the ability to tell stories through the written word.
Platica
My other don is to create a space for others to share their stories. By sharing our stories, we create space in our hearts and minds. We let go, we shed, we release. We make space for the new.
As a practicing curandero, I invite you to take a storytelling journey with me. Drawing upon the simple act of platicar or chat, let’s open space together to share stories. Let’s walk and talk.
My offering to you: to listen, and if wanted, I can provide insights and advice. I can lend my experience and wisdom, or simply a brave space.
Copal or Palo Santo Ceremony
Honoring the ancient traditions of Mesoamerican ceremonial practices, I offer copal (bursera tree resin) smoke rituals for purification and cleansing, mental clarity and grounding, and connecting with the spirit and ancestors. I can offer a similar ceremony with palo santo.
Nutritional counseling, infusions, teas and recipes
The kitchen is the heart of the home, and my belief is that cooking is the closest thing we have to real magic. Let’s talk about what you’re eating and what you would like to achieve with your diet. I offer food and drink recommendations for overall health and wellness as well as customized menus and caloric and macro recommendations for weight management, optimal aging, and healing.
My background spans over twenty years in the life sciences field, where I’ve built extensive knowledge of the human body and its functions. I trained at the University of New Mexico’s Curanderismo workshop and have learned from and practiced alongside master curanderos/as. I’m also an experienced home chef of more than twenty years.
My approach draws from lived experience as much as professional study. I’ve navigated significant digestive and mental health challenges, as well as profound life struggles — and found my way through them with the support of healthcare providers, functional medicine practitioners, curanderos, coaches, mental health therapists, and most importantly, community, friends, family, and Spirit.
While I am not a licensed healthcare provider, psychologist, or dietician, everything I offer comes from a place of deep knowledge, genuine experience, and care.
Tragedies are miracles in disguise.
We are our own healers.
