In the heart of my practice lies a story deeply rooted in reverence and respect for the Earth, drawing inspiration from the ancient wisdom of Pachamama, the Andean Mother Earth. "Pacha" was chosen not just as a name, but as a living homage to the nurturing spirit of Pachamama, embodying her life-giving essence and her intrinsic connection to all living beings. It reflects the foundational belief in the interconnectedness of our health with the natural world, and our commitment to fostering harmony within our bodies and with the Earth.

"Pacha" is more than a name—it's a philosophy, a community, and a movement towards a more holistic and sustainable approach to health. It's a tribute to the nurturing power of Pachamama, reminding us to care for ourselves, each other, and the world with the same love and respect. In every aspect of my practice, I strive to embody the essence of Pacha, creating a space where healing is a sacred journey, and every individual is honored as a whole and vibrant being.

Why Pacha?
