Welcome to your Apapacho
The word "apapacho" in Spanish comes from the Nahuatl, “pachoa,” which refers to the practice of tying the hips to support the womb and protect your energetic center, and also to affectionate touch and protection given to a child or loved one. I think of the kind of comforting, loving embrace and strong presence you would get from a seasoned grandparent.
I offer an intuitive approach to ritual, opening a space of clarity and calm for you to reconnect deeply with yourself. This ceremony invites you to feel held, tune in, and make way for who you are becoming.

Timing & Follow-ups
Traditional Mexican protocol for postpartum is to do 6 weekly visits, starting approximately 4 days after birth until around the 40th day. However I am offering care to folks at any stage of their transformational journey, whether or not they have children.
I would recommend a full 3 hour session for your first appointment, and from there you have the option to do 1-hour follow-ups or continue with the longer sessions as needed and desired. I love working intuitively with moon cycles to determine frequency.
Feel free to book a phone consultation to make an arrangement that works for you.
Price Equity
I am experienced in holding ceremonial space, and constantly developing as a practitioner. To allow space for co-creation as well as financial equity, I offer my services at a sliding scale of $250-300 per 3-hour session, and offer deals for recurring clients. Your monetary offering regenerates my labor, land, materials and expertise, and revitalizes the transference of Indigenous legacies.
With the intertwining force of the dark regenerative principle,
in the forms of Black Moon Lilith & Tlazolteotl, our lady eater of sacred filth,
may you be blessed blessed blessed.
