lA plAtiCA
La platica is the foundation of every session. It is here where the client speaks from the deepest part of their hearts and a Curandera listens with her ears and her heart. It is an opportunity to speak openly and honestly, no matter how painful or embarrassing they may feel their circumstances to be. We talk about what’s going on in their life, in their body and in their mind. In la platica, we set an intention for the service following. La Platica is a heart to heart and we share together over hot tea in a safe and loving space with Spirit. I’m always amazed by how much energy moves in la platicas. I love this time with my client.
I am available for la platicas via phone chat, Facetime, Skype and Zoom as well as in person.
I ask a donation of $30 for a half hour.
I ask a donation of $60 for an hour.
LiMpiAs
“Emotions are like water. If they don’t flow, the water becomes rotten and stagnant”. ~Maestra, Curandera, Reverend Virginia Marie Rincon
Limpias are spiritual cleanses for the body, mind and soul. They are used to restore balance. When giving a limpia, one must be in communion with the client and the Universe.
Why do we get out of balance?
Emotions!
Sadness, fears, frights, anxiety, bad energy people throw at us, the evil eye. Sound familiar? This is written in the story of all of our lives and in Curanderismo we believe all these emotions are the basis for all illnesses.
How do we get back into balance?
Limpias!
Egg LiMpiA
Limpias are my most favorite thing to do in my healing practice. I have seen great magic with limpias. I like to use an egg in my limpias.
The egg is a large cell. It gives positive energy while taking away negative energy. The egg is rubbed all over the body from head to toe, absorbing all that which is not serving the client. As an intuitive, I feel where the body is holding energy that needs to be cleared and will hold the egg over that place while encouraging the client to breathe with strength. Massive amounts of energy move in these limpias. Every limpia is personal and every limpia is one on one.
We begin each limpia by calling on the four directions and offering them a prayer. We call upon grandfather Sky and Tonantzin. Aztecs and present day Nahuas, refer to Tonantzin as the Aztec Mother Goddess. Otherwise known as Mother Earth. Catholics know her as The Virgin Mary and Our Lady of Guadalupe. We will burn sacred copal. We will stand upon soft and warm sheepskins with rattles and drum. I will call upon my spirit helpers as well as yours and ask your permission to give la limpia. Together we will make our intention and from that point on it is you and Spirit doing the healing. I am only a bridge. It is important for you to know that so that any emotions you are feeling, you know are your own and can work on clearing them.
After the egg has absorbed all your body has to offer, you are smudged with more copal and your joints are sprayed with Agua de Florida which wakes up the nervous system along with lifting your vibration and cleansing your auric field. Agua de Florida is a spirit water used by Shamans in South America. It is advised to bring shorts and a tank top to wear for la limpia so that the spirit water can reach your joints and places on your stomach and back.
After la limpia, I will crack open the egg into a glass of purified water and read the egg. The egg will tell me a story of your body. It is sometimes necessary for some clients to have up to three limpias in a row; considering the case. In this regard, I offer a discount. I will not know whether you need multiple limpias until I crack the egg open and read it.
It is best to not schedule anything after la limpias. I recommend taking the rest of the day easy and being gentle with yourself. You will feel lighter after. You may need a siesta. You may feel tender. You may feel hungry. You also may feel incredibly strong. Either way, nourish your body with clean food and rest. The next morning you will awaken feeling even more refreshed, lighter and happier.
Limpias are incredibly important for expectant mothers. They are especially important for first time mothers. We do not want the baby to take on any of the fears of the mother. In fact, it is advised that a mother with child have at least three limpias in their pregnancy.
I ask a donation and sliding scale of $60-100 for a limpia. If three limpias are needed, I ask a donation of $50 for each session. It was taught to me that this medicine is for everyone…no matter how rich or poor. Therefore, I will not turn away someone because of lack of money. I believe we can always work out an arrangement.
**I also offer a shorter and less expensive limpia with the egg. Here, you will not get an intuitive reading or la platica. Only the limpia itself.
I ask a donation of $40.00
LAs RosAs LiMpiA
Did you know that the rose is the highest vibrational flower? In las rosas limpia, I use dozens of roses and candles along with songs and prayers for your spiritual cleansing. We start by drinking organic rose tea in la platica so that you start building a bond with las rosas and are always in communication with the them. After calling on the four directions, Grandfather Sky and Tonanztin, giving a prayer of offering and setting our intention for la limpia, you will be sprayed with rose water and las rosas will be starting their work as we start to smooth out your auric field. You with then lay down more prayers with candles and different color roses (each color symbolizing something of its own) and fall softly onto a bed of soft sheepskins; surrounded by roses and candlelight with the aroma of sweet roses in the air and the taste of roses as well. This limpia is stunningly beautiful. It is soft and slow. It feels like being held in the arms of the Divine Mother.
This limpia is great for those grieving, for PTSD survivors and generally for those feeling alone, sad, and depressed.
A Curandera brings the best of herself into this limpia, with pure thoughts and intentions. We believe that negative talk remains imprinted upon the luminous body, affecting our physical, mental and emotional state. We work on this for the week following la limpia by asking you to continue working with las rosas. You leave la limpia with all the roses we worked with. They are to be put by your bedside until they dry. You are asked to talk to the roses while working with tenderness for your body with purity of words and with purity of thoughts.
Due to the cost of the roses, a minimum donation of $90 is suggested.
reiKi HeALiNg
“There is a great space around us—the Universe. It is endless and enormous energy. It is Universal…its ultimate source is the creator…it can stem from the sun, or moon, or stars..it is a limitless force. It is the source of energy that makes plants grow…the birds fly. When a human being has pain, problems, he or she can draw from it. It is an ethereal source, a wave length of great power which can revitalize and restore harmony.” ~Grandma Takata
Reiki is a Japanese healing technique based on the principle that the therapist can channel energy into the client by means of touch, to activate the natural processes of the client’s body and restore physical and emotional well-being; while channeling Universal Life Energy. This session is extremely relaxing. I use soft meditative music, singing bowls and bells. I am a certified reiki practitioner. I love weaving reiki in with my other healing modalities.
I ask a donation and sliding scale of $60-80 for an hour reiki session.

“The Bars are a tool that facilitate a different way of functioning on the planet. Bars can be used to facilitate change in all areas of your life. When you are willing to function from more consciousness you begin to open the doors to healing.
The infinite universe is constantly gifting to us. We determine what we will receive based on our willingness to BE. When we are functioning from thoughts, feelings and emotions we are not BEing. We are determining, deciding, judging and concluding what we will receive and how we receive it. Basically, the Bars are the hard drive of your computer bank. It’s the stuff you have stored lifetime after lifetime. And what this does is it deletes the files so that those things are no longer in your file and they don’t automatically come up.
The brain waves slow down when you get your bars run, allowing behavioral patterns, belief systems and points of view that you have been running from childhood or from other lifetimes to be accessed. You actually start to become more present in your life and the past doesn’t project into your future the same way.”
~Gary Douglas, Founder
I like to incorporate shamanic practices into The Bars. For example: We will journey together and trace back to when and why and the first time you recall having pain or hurt. We go back to those emotions to reassure you that these old ways of coping can only be changed when we acknowledge them and then we grow into our new way of coping.
The Bars are extremely relaxing. I had my Bars run weekly for an entire year when I was healing from Lyme Disease. I personally can attest to astounding results from the Bars and have witnessed incredible growth and rebirth.
The Bars are an hour session. You are laying comfortably on a warm massage table with soft meditative music playing in the background. There is only light touching of your temples and around the head and crown chakra.
I find that teens respond exponentially well with having The Bars run.
For this session I ask a donation and sliding scale of $60-80.
CuppiNg And MoXibUsTioN
Cupping Therapy is an ancient form of alternative medicine in which a therapist puts special cups on your skin for a few minutes to create suction. People get it for many purposes, including to help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, relaxation and well-being and as a type of deep-tissue massage.
Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese heat therapy in which dried mugwort plant materials are burned on or very near the surface of the skin. The intention is to warm and invigorate the flow of Qi in the body and dispel certain pathogenic influences.
I use these methods with homemade organic healing salves and often times hot stones and heated herbal packs. Most clients like to incorporate some reiki in with this session.
I ask a donation and sliding scale of $60-80 an hour.
All services require a $25.00 non refundable deposit.
