Below is a list of guiding principles and values that inform the way I work with others. I am committed to continue growing, learning, and developing a practice that is loving, effective, and honorable. Thank you for being here and allowing me to work with you!
In the healing room, I do not embody a detached, depersonalized, and all-knowing white male professional. I embody Marisól. I am a woman in her 30s, laughs a lot, enjoys reading symbolic poetry, prefers savory snacks over sweets, obsessed with her garden, loves her pets, married to her best friend, eldest sister of three, daughter of immigrants, bilingual, mixed-race, family from México, anti-colonial politic, and so much more.
I do not treat the mind alone, I work with the whole being: heart, body, and soul. Our society promotes logic over everything else which results in overthinking, rumination, and dissociation. It is imperative for me that in the healing room, we approach the totality of who you are.
I empower you to cultivate a sense of belonging and to identify the people around you who can support you on your journey. Healing is much more effective and powerful when we open ourselves up to be supported and loved.
I consider the health and wellness of the communities you are a part of and how they are affected by systemic and institutional bodies. Trauma is collective, not just individual and that is why we will address the history, culture, and current anxieties of your people when learning more about your own personal experiences and healing process.
I honor your ancestors and families, their stories and histories, for you to bring peace to your lineage, your relationships, and the body you have inherited. By engaging in ancestral practices and medicines, we awaken a remembrance and a reclamation to what colonization and ongoing cultural erasure took from you and your ancestors.
I do not blame the individual, diagnose, nor believe you are dirty or sinful. I do not believe that there is something inherently wrong with you. When conducting limpias, we are bringing energetic balance and harmony back to the body, mind, and spirit.
Great Mother, also known as the Earth, Pachamama, the Goddess, Divine Mother, Creator, Source, God, etc. is my guiding light in all of the work that I do. In every session, she is honored, called upon, and acknowledged. As her earthly children, we work with her and the elements to heal ourselves, our loved ones, and the earth itself.
I believe in you to act as your own personal Healer and I am here to support you in stepping into that role for yourself. In this way, you become more and more confident in your ability to create a life you love!
