In Memorium to Magita

Our petit cat Maggie (aka Magpie, Magi, Maga, Magita) died this week of heart failure. We had her for nearly 10 years. She was a rescue with trauma, found with a litter. She lived with a vet before we got her & had a love affair with a Siamese. As our first pet, marking the beginning of our little family, we were warned that she may never behave like a normal cat & was considered special needs. Yet she over came tremendous anxiety & fear of almost everyone & everything to become a graceful, secure & confident presence in our family. We think she was between 12-13. That's about 70 in cat years. She loved shoes, hiding under beds, & climbing on top of your chest to purr over your heart. She was a very sweet & magical soul. She was a great teacher to us, brought us so much love & laughter, made few demands, & taught us how to be better human beings. Heaven sent & so she returns. 🐾

I specialize in intergenerational trauma, healing the family soul for personal and cultural transformation, and psychedelic/entheogen integration. I work with clients in a holistic approach to connect to collective wisdom through imagination, intuition, mindfulness, embodiment, dreamwork and creative expression. My treatment focus is on relationship, cultural wounds, trauma resolution, ancestral lineage repair, animist parenting, kinship ethics, and reconnecting to the sacred.

I am a certified Ancestral Lineage Healing practitioner and also an initiated serpent medicine keeper and priestess in sacred arts with 8 years of training. As a ritualist and coach, I offer virtual mentoring and circles globally. I am steeped in my traditions, mythology, cultura and roots, originally from the villages of Juchipila, Zac, Mexico, born and raised in Tongva lands, Los Angeles, residing on Nisenan land, Sacramento. My lineage gifts are in storytelling, dignity, sweetness, relating to the spirit magic of bee, deer, maize, and cacao. I have been given the medicine name, Cloud Serpent. I am honored to reclaim reverence for my mother mountain, Tlachialoyantepec, a sacred site. I hold a vow with my people to live the repair, in service of the anima, mundi, the world soul.
