Aracely
Aracely is a first-generation Chicana, daughter of Maria Eugenia Castaneda and Jorge Navarro, Mexican and Guatemalan immigrants. Her medicine is deeply tied and rooted in the knowing of her ancestors, her people and her homelands. Aracely honors and revers her indigenous ancestry and blood, and pays respect to the Huichol, Mexica, and Maya people from whom her medicine has been gifted from and from whom her healing modalities come from.
The knowing of great Curanderas, Parteras and Yerberas of her linage guide her on her path toward healing and reclaiming of ancient wisdom. She also deeply honors, listens and loves working with the animal guides and plant allies that have gifted her much guidance and wisdom.
Aracely believes deeply that there is great healing and decolonization needed for the land and the people. For this reason, Aracely's work centers Environmental Justice and the healing of her community, Mother Earth, Tonantzin, and all the generations that have come before and those that will come after. As a Chicana she knows what it is to live in the Borderlands, to be a child of genocide and colonization, to carry many different linages in her blood. Because of this she knows it is her mission to heal the heart, the blood, the womb and bring in deep ancestral healing. To bring rebirth and cleansing to those who are lost and stagnant and who have forgotten their true essence of creation. Aracely has walked and continues to walk the High Priestess path and has served in the Sacred Way, because she knows it is her responsibility to use her privilege to help others on their path of healing. She believes it is her duty and responsibility to guide others with mercy and severity, to bring in the divine feminine energy for healing and awakening of the collective.
Her heart is truly in this work to heal the community and protect Mother Earth and all her children.
Aracely will always welcome you with an open heart and a ready ear
