Curanderismo is an ancestral healing tradition rooted in Indigenous, African, and Spanish lineages. It teaches harmony with the Earth and views health as the balance of body, mind, spirit, and energy. In my practice, I work with plants, prayer, ancestors, and ceremony to cleanse, protect, and restore. Healing is understood as relational — shaped not only by the physical and emotional, but also by our connection to nature and the unseen. I honor the balance of sol y sombra, recognizing that meaningful transformation arises from embracing both light and shadow. Walking this path is an act of remembering: returning to our roots, intuition, and the sacredness within daily life.

Limpias/Cleansings

I offer limpias, or energetic cleansings, to help release heaviness, stagnant energy, or emotional strain. A limpia may involve eggs, flowers, herbs, or smoke, each chosen with intention and guided by spirit. Communication with ancestors and spiritual guides is also central to this work, creating a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms. Limpias can be performed for individuals, couples, and family members, including children.

I regard plants as living relatives, each carrying their own memory and medicine. I approach them with respect and permission, viewing them as an integral part of the healing process. A limpia is ultimately a sacred exchange with nature and spirit — a moment of clarity, restoration, and renewed alignment.

Soul Retrieval/Recuperación del Alma

During our plática, I tune into your spirit to determine whether a soul retrieval may be supportive. Found in many Indigenous shamanic traditions, soul retrieval focuses on reconnecting with parts of the self that may have withdrawn during trauma, grief, or significant stress. Rather than viewing the soul as “broken,” this practice recognizes that aspects of our essence step back for protection. Soul retrieval invites these parts to return, restoring presence, vitality, and coherence.

In a session, I guide you into a calm, grounded state, allowing the nervous system to settle. From there, I enter a focused, trance-like space of spiritual listening and journeying. I connect with the part of you that feels disconnected or unseen, listening for its story and its needs. This helps reveal what is ready to reintegrate and how to support its return to harmony with the rest of your being.

Ancestral & Spirit Communication

If guided to do so, I enter a focused, receiving state to connect with the spiritual support surrounding you. With your permission, I listen deeply to the voices of your ancestors and guiding spirits and share the words, images, sensations, and messages that come through. This offering is intended to help you better understand the unseen support walking with you, bringing clarity, validation, and insight into your life path. Rather than prediction, this work centers on listening, remembrance, and relationship—helping you reconnect with wisdom that already knows you.

Ancestors and guides may take many forms. They can include beloved relatives who have passed, ancestors from generations long before us, deities or angels connected to your lineage, and even plant and animal spirits that walk with you as teachers and protectors. These beings do not command or control; instead, they offer loving perspective. Their messages often illuminate repeating patterns, the roots of emotional or spiritual blocks, and the lessons being asked of you at this time. Through compassion and truth, they help reveal what is supporting your growth and what may be ready to be released.
