Combining Ancient Wisdom with Modern Research

Azalea, the voice behind Vibrational Healing has studied in an apprenticeship under an Indigenous Mazatec lineage in Huautla de Jiménez, Oaxaca, México. Huautla is the birthplace of Sacred Psilocybin Mushroom Ceremonies. This is the town Maria Sabina is from. Maria Sabina was the first Mazatec mushroom healer to share the medicine of psilocybin 🍄 with the Western world. In 1955, she led a New York banker into a traditional mushroom ceremony which kickstarted the psychedelic era of the 1960s.

In this lineage, the maestra who taught Azalea was an apprentice and daughter of Abuelita Julieta. Abuelita Julieta who, while she was alive, was a proud member of The International Council of 13 Indigenous Grandmothers, protecting sacred lands and medicines around the globe!

With the help of Maestro Debursio of Agua de Niño and Chójn Ndafè from Chikón Nindoó, Azalea has received permission to work with and to share the medicine of the mushrooms in the land of the United States of America.

Medicine Woman, Ceremonial Leader, & Psychedelic Professional

Through nurturing and intuitive guidance, Azalea specializes in blending Indigenous wisdom with modern psychology to help preserve ancient traditions in the modern day.

Her personal journey with plant medicines led to profound healing from PTSD, Depression, & Anorexia. This healing led Azalea to study deeper the psychological benefits of psychedelics, becoming a professional in the space.

However, coming from grandparents Indigenous to Mexico, she felt called to learn ancient mushroom traditions from elders and medicine leaders in the mountains of Oaxaca, eventually fostering a deep commitment to preserving these ancient practices globally.

She has undergone multiple initiations over years on this long term path of being a steward to plants, sacred lands, & ancient medicines. She has studied the sacred mushroom with the Mazatec people of Oaxaca, completed plant dietas with Shipibo people in the Amazon Rainforest [Peruvian side of the modern day border], trained in Temazcal facilitation with Mexica elders (pre-hispanic tradition), and continues to walk the pilgrimage of her ancestors to Wirikuta with the Wixárika (Huichol) people.

A life long student and teacher, she thoughtfully incorporates diverse healing traditions into her work integrating Indigenous healing traditions with modern psychology.

Above all, Azalea considers herself a child of Mother Earth, here to inspire others to reconnect to our most ancient roots when we enter healing journeys with sacred plant medicines.

Cultural Identity Disclaimer:

While Azalea’s immediate family migrated to the U.S. from an Indigenous community in Jalisco & Azalea herself has been trained within Mazatec ceremonial traditions, she does NOT identify as Mazatec nor claim to speak for any Indigenous community holistically.

Why Vibrational Healing?

In Indigenous ceremonies, medicine songs are sung to guide the medicine in the participant’s body. It is said that each plant has its own tune and that the plant sings through the facilitator during a ceremony. While the medicine opens up the body for healing, the vibrations from the medicine songs guide the healing work.

Vibrations are always happening within us, outside of us, and around us. Vibrations are the mind, body, and Self connection. A vibration is a sensation that we can feel physically. When we are hit with a vibration, it manifests in our body and sends waves of energy for our brains to process into chemicals usually related to emotions.

Vibrational Healing is all about healing your body through your mind, your mind through your body, and everything through your Self. All of the answers you are looking are are within you - and when you connect to yourSelf truthfully, you become your own healer. ☺
