woman led health care
deeply rooted in the intelligence of nature/the body, ancestry and progeny and the spiralic nature of cycles, stories and symptoms
The heirloom project exists in an effort to center wise woman and indigenous technologies for birth and women’s health. These ways of knowing have long stewarded infinite iterations of becoming. It is my truth to treat these practices, treatments and beliefs as universal heirlooms. They are from the earth and for the earth. In the era of artificial intelligence and quick symptom Googling, I continue to see these ancient technologies meet the needs of oppression, trauma, overwhelm and overconsumption, addiction, sub fertility, divorce, disassociation, orthorexia and more at the root. This is not a denial of science but an ode to the innate intelligence that pulses through every living thing.
the heirloom project serves as a platform to pedestal artists, healers and stewards whose work and creations orient toward the medicine of and for the earth.

My studies and practice stem from my personal and the collective impact of colonization and religious institution on traditional women’s wisdom and indigenous health care systems and technologies.
My care promotes a decolonized approach to health, that acknowledges the ancestral, collective and individual narratives that perpetuate physical, mental, emotional and spiritual symptoms and patterns.
My experience weaves study and apprenticeship or service in,
Western Clinical Herbalism
Curanderismo, from various parts of Latin America
Homebirth apprenticeship
Womens reproductive health, especially postpartum
Hatha Yoga and Ayurveda
Modern dance, and mind-body studies

offerings
Folk Herbalism & Limpiando
Appropriate for women wishing to arrive into deeper coherence through plants, remedios, limpias and prayer. Rooted in curanderismo as well as Western herbalism, it is ideal for anyone who has experienced a recent disruption to the energetic body, such as heartbreak, theft, a car accident, injury, or violation of any type. We begin with a platica and conversation about your symptoms and will then explore the best cleaning and or protocol. The limpiando or cleaning can range from immersing you in a honey rose bath, to sweeping your body with a customized plant bundle.
Due to the intrinsic relationality between humans and the plant world, this work is accessible to every body.
Entheogen Preparation & Integration
Appropriate for women preparing for or returning from an entheogenic journey. This work will help her integrate the visionary, psychological, spiritual and physiological effects of working with consciousness altering medicines. I combine the use of amazonian cleansing rites and technologies; with an awareness of how colonization and personal lineage/history impact our relationship with ceremony, the medicine itself and altering the mind. The tools and perspectives she receives will fortify her relationship with entheogenic medicines, altered states and mysticism.
My work is for a seasoned journeyer just as much as it is for those new to it. Our experience with medicine evolves over time, and I love to support women in their reorientation toward the medicine, ceremony, and prayer. I also love to support individuals feeling dysregulated, shaken, or plain confused post-ceremony. You are not broken or crazy; support is available.

Interdimensional womens health - Inside the symptom there is a story. I specialize in untangling the emotional, ancestral, and historic causes of reproductive health symptoms such as BV, UTIs, herpes, and more. This work is not about forcing the body into a desired outcome, but about holding space for its vital intelligence to express health. Expect the utilization of plant/animal remedies, somatic practice, visualization/meditation, and energetic cleaning.
This work is also appropriate for women experiencing chronic symptoms unrelated to the reproductive system. What is your recurring sinus infection trying to tell you? There is likely more to the story than just pollen.
Birth Attendant - Appropriate for pregnant mamas living in New Mexico, Colorado and Utah. My gifts and knowledge are best translated in a home birth setting. My presence and collaboration in birth is to prioritize and amplify the vital force and physiology of the motherbaby. My encouragement and advocacy is subtle; and mirrors that of an auntie, rather than the granny midwives I’m honored to stand behind.
If a woman is seeking a medical provider or licensed midwife, none of my services are a replacement for that kind of care, education or state oversight.
Postpartum Care - Appropriate for mamas between one day and two years postpartum. Depending on the need and my physical proximity to the mama, will determine if I work with her virtually or in-person. We will make space for her experience in pregnancy and birth to be expressed while tending to the physiological requirements of postpartum.
This work is not exclusive to women with live births. I am honored to serve women who have released their pregnancy or had pregnancy loss.
Some of the in-person therapeutics and care I provide include but are not limited to…
Womb therapies (vaginal steaming, moxabustion and sitz bath)
Emotional + mental processing
Herbal and nutritional supplementation (topical and internal)
Cooking and or food prep
Cleaning, energetic and physical space
Abdominal and Pelvic Bodywork
Closing of the Bones
Relationship coaching
