Andean Shamanism
I am first-generation Ecuadorian. My father, born and raised in BabaHoyo, Ecuador, immigrated to the United States at college age. We are from Tawantinsuyu, the original ancestral lands of the Incan peoples that was comprised of territories spread over parts of Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina. The spirit of our people runs strong in my blood. It has a warrior heart and a voice from a people that have fought against racism, abuse, colonialization, and rejection. Diving into the alchemy of our people’s medicine, I began to understand the vital importance of sharing the Andean wisdom from my lineage. My first initiatory journey took place in 2007, in the Sacred Valley of Peru. From that moment on, I have been steeped in living and studying this path of ancient Andean traditions that have been around for thousands of years.

In 2004, I began studying and apprenticing with a Lakota Medicine Man, Sun Dance Intercessor, and War Chief. During the decade of my apprenticeship, I was initiated in deeply healing and transformational rites of passage that created lasting change for me. One of my initiations included being blessed by my teacher to carry the lineage of the Sacred Pipe for the healing of ourselves, our families, our communities, and Mother Earth.
