Your Guide & Curandera
As a modern Curandera (healer), I bridge ancestral wisdom and contemporary practices to guide sacred mushroom ceremonies that offer profound transformation and growth.
Born to Mexican parents in the Bay Area, I grew up embracing my Mexican and American cultures. I spent my summers in Mexico and grew up speaking Spanish at home and English at school. My family's legacy of traditional healing, with my mother consulting curanderos, my abuelita and great grandmother using herbal remedies and transmitting their love through their cooking, laid the foundation for my path as a modern curandera.
My Mexican heritage has deeply shaped who I am. From a young age, my family instilled in me core values of hard work, family and community unity, compassion, integrity, and the joy of celebrating life through singing and dancing. Honoring my ancestors and embracing these traditions are integral parts of my identity. These values are not just a part of me—they flow through my veins, defining my essence and strengthening my approach to everything I do.
My path to becoming a spiritual guide and curandera was not linear. I started as a pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist, holding a BA in Communicative Disorders and an MS in Speech-Language Pathology. While working in this field, I realized that many speech delays and behaviors in children were manifestations of deeper family traumas and societal pressures. This insight led me to seek more holistic approaches to healing . Instead of “fixing” children, I wanted to focus on helping adults heal.
In 2018, despite outward success, I felt unfulfilled. I began exploring plant medicine, beginning with Ayahuasca & Huachuma ceremonies in Ecuador. These experiences reconnected me with my indigenous roots and the power of ceremonies, plants, love and community.
Over the past few years, I’ve continued to deepen my knowledge through ongoing training, study with other curanderxs, and courses in shamanism and the traditional uses of sacred plants.
Today I lead my own heart-centered Niños Santos (Mushroom) ceremonies. My practice blends time-honored traditions with contemporary care, offering a unique path to profound healing and personal transformation. I believe in the power of this work to heal not just individuals, but families and communities.
As a mother of two, I understand the importance of balancing personal growth with family responsibilities. My ceremonies are designed to help you connect deeply with yourself, overcome past trauma, and find more joy and fulfillment in life.
If you're ready to explore a transformative journey that honors ancient wisdom while addressing modern challenges, I'm here to guide you through this profound process of self-discovery and healing.
“Words can’t describe my first mushroom ceremony. I had no expectations, and I was blown away by the experience. Alexis's knowledge and guidance, combined with her intention of healing, were potent and powerful. This kind of transformational healing goes straight to your heart and soul. It opened something up in me.
After this experience, I began my microdosing journey to further deepen my healing process. The way she cares for the mushrooms, respects them, and sets her intentions is palpable. She has truly proven herself as a medicine woman, a healer, a shaman. I am very grateful to have experienced her magic and potent healing energy”
