Traditional Nahua Healing
Developed out of thousands of years of living, dreaming and engaging with the world and the natural cycles of living, this profound spiritual medicine brings deep and lasting healing, restoration, purification, life-balance, and beneficial transformation to body, mind, and spirit.
The health of our body, mind and emotions, nourishing relationships and living a good life are not separate from the health of our spirit. All illnesses, conflicts and problems have their roots in the realm of spirit.
The Traditional Healing I practice comes out of my Nahua Weather Work tradition and lineage, and is an authentic, time-honoured shamanic healing system indigenous to the highlands of central Mexico.
A healer in this tradition, called a Tepahtiani, works in relationship with spirit and the healing forces of nature to address the spiritual root causes of illness and imbalance in all layers of a person’s being: body, mind, and spirit.
Becoming a Tepahtiani is a divine calling. To be initiated as a Tepahtiani, you must first be recognized and initiated into a lasting and revered Weather Work lineage by an elder of that lineage. Then, after proving your devotion and dedication to your Weather Work over time, the calling to walk the healing path of this tradition may arise.
The journey to become Tepahtiani involves an ancient process of building relationships with sacred medicine sites and the Weather Forces which work through the healer to bring deep and lasting healing.
After years of intense training, pilgrimage, ceremony and sacrifice, the Tepahtiani candidate undergoes a final initiatory process to prove to the tradition and their teacher their dedication and capacity to become a traditional healer. If successful, the initiate can then bring this ancient and powerful medicine to their communities.
Traditional Nahua healing is beneficial for any imbalances on any level of your being such as chronic or acute health conditions, depression, anxiety, profound grief, feeling lost, stuck or a lack of purpose, or any other physical, emotional or spiritual challenges you are experiencing and/or that haven’t been addressed through conventional or alternative approaches.

Sessions:
Sessions take place in person in my healing space (called a consultorio in this tradition) in front of my altar where we will explore what has brought you to seek healing and restoration. Healing may take several forms based on your unique needs and may include a limpia (spiritual cleansing using eggs, ramos, copal, or other substances) soul retrieval, spiritual counselling and guidance, homework, or other traditional healing methods. Sessions are between 1 to 1/2 hours long. Please see the info page for fees and hours.
Please read my posts “Traditional Nahua Healing: Limpias with Ramos” and “Traditional Nahua Healing: Limpias with Copal” to read more about two of the healing forms that may be used in your healing session.
Spiritual Space Clearing
Spiritual Space Clearing removes stagnant, old, heavy, unsettled, or negative energies from your living and working spaces and welcomes in beneficial energy, lightness, openness, purity, and renewal that is in good balance and harmony with your energy.
Our physical and spiritual well-being are deeply connected to and influenced by the spaces we inhabit and work in. It is essential that they are periodically cleaned spiritually to support health, success, prosperity, and abundance.
Spiritual Space Clearing (called limpias in my Weather Work tradition) is the deep spiritual and energetic cleaning of your home, land, office, community, or workspace.
Spiritual Space Clearing is beneficial for all spaces in general and for many circumstances including the following:
- When you want to bring in beneficial energy, flow, peace, abundance and prosperity to your space and spirit.
- Whenever the energy of your space feels unsettled or out-of-balance for known or unknown reasons.
- When moving into a new space to clear out the residual energy of the previous inhabitants.
- To usher in new beginnings, such as starting a new business, beginning a relationship, changing your career, setting a new life intention, or welcoming in a new life into your home.
- During or after any difficult times or significant endings, such as a serious or prolonged illness, trauma, accident, divorce, or death.
- To honour the passing of a loved-one.
- To settle and rebalance the energy of your space after renovations.
- To prepare your space prior to sale.
- To honour the changing seasons, the equinoxes and solstices.
- Anytime you feel that your space needs a really deep energetic cleaning to bring in new energy, well-being and vitality.
Sessions:
Spiritual Space Clearings are done in person at your space. The process begins with an interview about your space and then an onsite visit to perform the cleansing. Please contact me for more details and fees.
Land Clearing & Blessings
Nature has a powerful mechanism within it for clearing and bringing balance to land overtime regardless of the type or intensity of disruptive activity inflicted upon it. However, there are unbalancing forces that can remain attached or maintained by the location that might negatively affect those living on or visiting the land. Land clearings and blessings clear out disturbing, interfering or unbalancing forces and attract beneficial energies of support, protection, balance, renewal and regeneration.
Please contact me to arrange a land clearing or blessing or to find out more about this beautiful process and the benefits it brings to you, your family, and your land.
Shadow Lifting
In Traditional Nahua Healing the Tepahtiani works with “shadow” in two ways:
If someone has experienced a very strong, dramatic, physical event such as a car accident or home invasion, it can affect their soul in such a way that they lose part of their “shadow” (soul) which remains at the sight of the experience. Loss of shadow is experienced as a profound feeling of lethargy that cannot be lifted, no matter what the person has tried. It can also be accompanied by depression, nervous tension and nightmares that seem to be related to the event itself. Restoring the loss of shadow involves going back to the sight of the dramatic event and doing a process that lifts the part of the shadow that has remained at the incident and uniting it with the person again.
The second way we work with shadow in this tradition is when someone passes away in a home. When someone dies in a home, whether a loved-one or a previous occupant, a spiritual residue of that person gets transferred to the house at the moment of their death. This presence is called “shadow” and can affect the spiritual energy of the home and all who live there. The process of removing this presence is called “shadow-lifting.” Shadow-lifting brings release for the spirit of the departed as well as for all who live in the house. It clears and rebalances the spiritual energy of the home so that it is supportive of life, peace and good health.
Please contact me to arrange a shadow-lifting or to find out more about these beautiful processes.
