I offer trauma informed, individualized sessions tailoring mindfulness strategies and Spiritual/Indigenous Practices to address mental health and bring balance, harmony and healing of body-mind-spirit. Sessions are strength based and holistic and may include Usui and Karuna Holy Fire Reiki, Energy Medicine and Indigenous Practices.
How did I start... I grew up with my grandmother as my mom. She was an “Espiritista,” someone who works with Spirits to assist others healing dis-ease of the body, mind, spirit and soul, past, present and future. Mama Trini was the point of conexión between mortals and Spirits in other realms. I was born into that knowledge and as I grew I assisted Mamá Trini in her work. My intense training with her happened five years after she returned home to Spirit. To teach the traditional way of living in my tradition, one must complete one trip around the Sun. This is done in the year 52. My formal training is in Clinical Social Work and since 2005 I have practiced at a local non-profit agency. For twelve years I have experienced a disconnection between mind, body and spirituality that western psychotherapy perpetrates. Pathology is centered in services therapists provide to the client. This framework doesn’t resonate with my values and Indigenous Cosmology. Tired of acting as an agent of change and getting nowhere in changing the approach to service delivery at the agency I decided two years ago to change how I serve others. Services I deliver include a holistic-strength and client centered based approach. I am more congruent with these values and people working with me in this way are reporting improvement in how they interact with themselves, others and the environment. Trauma is being out rooted with practices I share with them and they implement faithfully. Energy medicine is based on the understanding that everything is energy, our Spirit is pure energy in the form of light, with a unique vibration and frequency. With a list of challenges of daily living it is with ease a person will get out of balance or dis-ease.
How I do my Spiritual work... Through my life long of Spiritual/Indigenous practices I have developed relationship and collaboration with a Council of Helping Spirits, Teachers, Guides, Tonal (Highest Self), Naguales (power animal), Elements, 7 Sacred Directions, PachaMama and the Cosmos, Celestial Family, Ancestors and all the web of life and I contact with the Spirits who you have worked with since birth. My role in this context is to “bridge Heaven and Earth” on your behalf. I believe you are not your pains and hurts or your parents or your diagnosis or anything that has happened to you.
