Traditional, ancient practices in Curanderismo are practiced as well as sound healing, therapeutic arts and yoga and healing meditation/guided imagery.  Curanderismo is practiced throughout  Latin America and considers the whole person: body, emotions, mind, relationships and spirit.  A Curandera is an intermediary between the physical and spiritual world.  Spirits can be benevolent or harmful.  They can cause dis-ease or healing.  Curanderas have different specialties and very few are alike.  They use a knowledge of herbs and plants, rituals and cleansings (limpia's) and heart to heart soul talks (platica's) to assist in your healing process.  

Curanderas usually work on 3 levels:

• The Physical Body with ritual objects, platicas, songs, prayer, plants and herbs
• The Spiritual Body using prayer, meditation to communicate with Deities, Ancestors, Angels, for guidance and spiritual healing to impact holistic healing. Dreamtime work is also a component.
• The Mind and Mental Energy consisting of focus, visualization, directed healing.
