Seven Trees
Energy Healing
This is the medicine my Abuelas and Abuelos placed in my hands: limpias, ancestral journeys, ceremony. I offer it in person in Seattle and the Pacific Northwest, and by Zoom anywhere on Earth.
Bienvenidos. Aquí se habla español — y aquí, tus ancestros también son bienvenidos.
— WHY SEVEN TREES
THE TREES WERE HERE
BEFORE I WAS.
Seven trees stand in front of my home. I did not plant them. They were already old when I arrived — tall, beautiful, with roots that go deeper than the foundations of the house. Every morning I greet them. Every morning they answer the way elders answer: slowly, and only if you are truly listening.
In the way of my people, trees are elders. They hold the ground together. They give shelter to what is small. And when a person travels to meet their ancestors, the trees keep watch over the road. Seven is a sacred number among the Mexica. So when the time came to name this work, I did not have to invent anything. The name was already standing in my front yard, giving me wisdom and protection, waiting for me to notice.
This is a place for energetic and ancestral healing — the medicine our Abuelas and Abuelos kept alive through everything history did to them. It moves at the speed of prayer. It asks only one thing of you: come with a sincere heart.
— WHAT PEOPLE CARRY HERE
Nobody arrives with a tidy explanation.
People come to my door carrying something heavier than words. Grief that will not finish. The weight that stays after a loss or a betrayal, long after everyone else expects you to be over it. Susto — the fright that knocks a part of you loose, as our grandmothers used to say. A home or a body that no longer feels like yours. The ache of being cut off from your ancestors, your culture, your language.
And some people simply tell me: I have done the talking, the reading, the trying, and something in me still says there is more. Something older.
If any of that sounds like your life, you are not strange and you are not alone. You are exactly the person this medicine was kept alive for.
One thing I will tell you before anything else: this work walks alongside your doctors and your therapists. It never replaces them. Keep them close — I will be the first to insist.
The Medicine I Carry
ANCESTRAL JOURNEYS
Drum and rattle open the road. You travel to meet your ancestors and return with what they hold for you.
ENERGY CLEANSING
Copal, flower, egg, and prayer. What clings to you is released. What belongs to you stays.
PROTECTION & CLEARING
Cords cut. Boundaries set with prayer. Your own energy returned to you, the way the old ones taught me.
CEREMONY
Drum, rattle, and song carry the prayer upward. The ancestors listen. Something in you remembers.
— HOW IT WORKS
Three simple movements — talk, sit, walk.
01
Talk
Book a free 15-minute call and tell me what you are carrying. I will tell you honestly whether this work fits you. And if it does not, I will point you somewhere better — I would rather send you to the right door than invite you through the wrong one.
02
Sit
Come to a session, in person in Seattle or by Zoom from wherever you are. We begin with conversation. We do the work. We end with grounding, so you leave clear, not floating.
03
Walk
You leave with something to do: a practice, a prayer, a way of tending what opened. The healing lives in the days after the ceremony, not only inside it.
THE CURANDERO
Bernardo Ruiz
⟡ ⟡ ⟡
I am a Mexica man, a member of the Zemanahuac Tlamachtliloyan Confederated Tribes, and a curandero — a medicine man in the Mexica and Maya traditions. I also carry teachings from the Q'ero nation of the Andes.
Nothing I offer was invented by me. It was received, over many years, from named Abuelas and Abuelos who tested me, corrected me, and finally gave me permission to serve.
I work in Spanish and English, in person and at a distance, with individuals, families, and communities.
— THE PRAYER THAT OPENS CEREMONY
“Ca ticahuiliztli, ca tlahuiztli ipan tlaltícpac.”
We are possibility. We are light upon the earth.
— from the Nahuatl prayer at the heart of this work
— NO ONE IS TURNED AWAY
Sliding scale, always.
My Abuelas taught me that healing was never meant to be gatekept by money. No one who comes to me with a sincere heart is turned away for lack of funds — just tell me, without shame. And a portion of every session returns to the elders and the communities this knowledge comes from. That is not charity. That is protocol
Energetic and ancestral healing in the Mexica, Maya, and Q'ero traditions. In person in Seattle and the Pacific Northwest. By Zoom anywhere in the world. En español and in English.
