The Medicine is Inside You
I am a Maestra (teacher) and a Native Holistic Lifestyle, Wellness and Embodiment Coach. I am a decendent of of the Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo people on Tewa land what most know as New Mexico and the ancient Mēxihcah people of Mexico.
I put together a coaching container that now combines my ancestors holistic practices with my experience in health and wellness. I am the founder of The Native Shift which is an online community where I teach ancestral wellness combined with modern day times for a holistic approach to shifting and creating a happier and healthier life. I am the former owner of the award winning outdoor fitness boot camp, in the East Bay Area of California where I coached women for over 15 years as an Outdoor Fitness & Nutrition Coach.
I have sat with my elders and Maestrxs (teachers/mentors) learning the practices of my native ancestors and the human potentials of the sacred calendar that some refer to as the Aztec calendar. They taught me how they are connected to nature and our own sacred being. It teaches us how we can use these practices and teachings of the sacred directions to help us navigate our daily lives in these modern day times.
I am a practitioner of Curanderismo (Ancestral Earth and Heart Medicine of Mexico) and Maestra as part of the Kalpulli Teocalli Ollin (Community Sacred House of Energy) under the direct legacy of Maestra CC & Casimira Rocha y Sanchez and her ancestors from the Tezkatlipoka Tradition of the Red Path and Eagle Clan of New Mexico. We are a group of practicing medicine carriers of Curanderismo, Native Traditional Healing, Earth-Based Rituals/Ceremonies, and offering personalized wellness services through traditional methods within our communities and across our ancestral lands. We offer them for all people to access and with good intentions to help our communities.
Our intention is to share sacred ancestral wellness practices that are designed to deepen our individual self-work, growth, transformation, and heart with the guidance of Luz (Light), Paz (Peace), Amor (Love), Conciencia (Awareness), y Armonia (Harmony).
This ancestors taught us this concept if Earth-Based Medicine using things found in the natural environment, the elements, energy exchange, natural wellness, to help balance our inner waters, nuture our minds, feed our bodies and create rituals of the heart for Optimal Health. We do not separate us from the universe and nature around us. We are one with all things living and our heart, our relationships with each other and Earth matter.
These traditional holistice medicine has been part of my lineages for over 5,000 years. Handed down through our oral traditons from parent to child, teacher to student, to our communities. Rituals, ceremony, holistic wellness for healing, life, clearing our hearts, transitioning from this life to the next, for all the season of our lives, through earch season of the year. We integrate faith in our earth medcines through nature, movement of our bodies, sounds of nature and music and ceremony for remembering who we are, how sacred we are and for celebrating who we are as we walk our individual paths.
Integrating our minds, our bodies, our hearts and our spirit to heal, manifest, and rejuvenate us.
I am a Ceremonialist, as an Ordained Minister through the First Nations Church. I believe that living our lives as a Sacred Ceremony in all we do brings joy and peace to our lives. I am a forever student of life and our medicina and offer my community guidance and support through the seasons of life using the native ways of the Medicine Wheel and Mēxihcah medicine wheel Los Rumbos as a guide as we move through the seasons of nature each year. Each directions provides opportunity for healing, grounding, releasing and growth.
The East Direction - represents our sacred winds - our breath. The sunrise of new beginnings.
The South - represents water our sacred waters within us. Our ability to navigate emotions and remember our inner child.
The West - represents fire. Our fire within clearing and releasing old patterns that keep us from walking our path.
The North - represents the connection we have to our ancestors while we walk the earth. Working on our own reflection.
I help connect you with these concepts of earth medicines through Community Circles, Limpia (cleansing) days, providing ceremonies for events, fundriasers, workshops and coporate wellness. Online coaching community, wellness retreats, workshops, classes, in person events, soundhealing, cacao and despacho ceremonies, mindful meditation, somatic coaching and so much more.
With some offerings given regardless of financial status or ability to pay. Check out our CALENDAR FOR EVENTS OR JOIN MY NEWSLETTER to stay in touch and the know.
Through my life experiences, training, education and the teachings of the oral tradition from my elders and teachers I have evolved my practice. I have been a entrepreneur all my adult life and started my practice as a "Sobadora" (Acupressure & Shiatsu Practitioner) in the early 90s. Then I started training women in 2005 in health, fitness and nutrition through my award winning outdoor fitness bootcamp for women. I have practiced healthy living, empowerment, self-development, indigenous living, fitness, goal setting, dream planting, manifesting, sacred meditation, and the ancient practices from my lineages for most of my life.

My Experience & Education
I have over 25 years experience as coach and ceremonialist. I started my practice in the late 90's providing first Sobadas with Platicas (therapeutic body therapy & cleansings) to the community. What matters most to me though is if I inspire you and if you are you ready to SHIFT and if there is a connection between us :)
