Im a q***r non binary trans bipoc on a healing journey. I come from a richly complex black and Latin backgrounds and was raised in the country side of El Salvador and the states. both side of my family have beautiful healing practices that are steeped in almost forgotten tradition from the u settles tribes of central america and africa. As I’m bringing more choice to how i have been forced to assimilate into American society and capitalism, i’m striving to hold space for growth, understanding, compassion pain, conflict, oppression and grief. through inquiry im seeking to gently bring awareness to blockages or tension in myself and those around me and to increase choice, ease of living and balance.
in my exploration of various healing practices as a curanderx im understanding that my internal world and external world reflect, and that my self healing practices often help others heal themselves. my motto is to work “with” and not “for” and with that understanding, i know that healing looks and feels different for every unique individual. i prefer to curate sessions based on clients specific personal experiences. That might involve consulting, somatic work, bodywork, meditation, yoga, soul retrievals etc or a combination. Im interested in incorporating a number of diverse belief systems and modalities into my practices.
After participating in a 10 year, intimately entangled and beautifully complex relationship with a dear friend, ive been on a deeply personal journey developing my autonomy and self. for several years now ive been broadening my awareness of how self and societal conditioning effects the way i and others relate to intimacy and connections. Bringing me to explore the intricacies of cooperation, communication, attachment theory, relationship anarchy, polyamory, aromance and as*xuality.
during this pandemic year ive opened my eyes to how my capitalistic and inherently white suprepist society is subtly oppressing and exploiting me, its people and the earth and have since made even more conscious discussions to prioritize finding different ways of living. i correspond with and travel to radical fairy and q***r homesteads, havens and sanctuaries. i strive to be a healing presence in community and join in on any existing group healing exercises and participate in construct new ones. i’m currently focusing on cooperative communication and have been sharing my experiences with haven and ZMS (zuni mountain sanctuary) through small group discussions where we explore different skills and strategies more intimately.
the skills and strategies that i’d like to make explicit include; how to acknowledge power in oneself and in cultural contexts, how to grapple with oppression that we do on ourselves, how to make containers, safe spaces and intentions before having difficult conversations. how to break down observable facts, feelings and stories from any given situation. evaluate what’s true, not true and what’s also true about someone’s stories. what does it mean to ask for 100% of what you what 100% of the time. and how to negotiate and decide when an agreement can or cannot be made, understanding rescue/victim/persecutor dynamics, analyzing power in relating, and self regulation.
i was introduced to mental and physical disabilities and disorders at an early age and was trained in physical therapy and with social workers who specialize in domestic family abuse and s*xual trauma. i’ve also worked as a personal trainer and as a general manager for a local restaurant chain. my path has taken me to understand the intricacies of plant medicine, soul retrieval cooperative communication, neurodiversity somatic, massage, and s*x therapies and modalities.
i have no intent on pretending like i have all the answers and resolutions instead i want to present non deterministically and make room for knowledge and care to be broadened and built upon.
above all i want to integrate and emulate that radical love frequency.
looking forward to relating.
