About Fatua’s Practice & Healing Modalities
What is curanderismo?
Curanderismo is a practice that treats the body, mind, and spirit of an individual, with holistic & energetic elements from the earth and spirit world.
If someone has an illness or physical or mental imbalance, the issue is not only of the body, but also emotional, energetic, or spiritual. The manifestation of the emotional or spiritual issue presents itself through the physical body.
Unlike modern Western medicine which focuses on treating the physical body, curanderismo focuses on all elements of treating a person, investigating their lifestyle, diet, stress level, relationships, emotional body, spiritual path, ancestral and family lineage, and life purpose.
Curanderismo may include healing modalities such as working with herbs, smoke, limpias (clearings), prayer, ceremonial rituals, bodywork, intuitive or energetic healing, divination, invocation of ancestors or healing spirits, plant medicine, and more.
Curanderismo has similarities and differences depending on the culture, region, and influence in which it stems from. Today it is still widely practiced throughout the Americas.
Chakra Cleansing
Chakras are various energetic centers in your body that begin at the base of the spine and channel up to above the crown of your head. Each chakra correlates with various emotions and physical or mental attributes in the body. Stagnant energy, trauma, heartbreak, grief, etc. may store in a particular center. The chakra can be cleared so this energy can move and be revitalized with healing light. “Stuck” energy stored anywhere may be given a pathway for release.
Whether you believe in the concept of chakras or not, they are a way to map the human body in terms of energetic centers that correspond to the organs of the body, and what is being stored in that region.
Soul Retrieval
Soul loss is the process where a part of the soul leaves the body because of trauma, pain, or a disheartening scenario that caused it to no longer feel safe to stay. The soul part is found and integrated back into the body to restore wholeness and vitality. This practice is often incredibly powerful for healing ancestral or familial relations, or challenging life patterns.
Clearing and releasing stagnant or “crystallized” energy:
Some forms of energy may be carried with you from lifetimes past, from your current family lineage, projected onto you by others, or unconsciously allowed into your body and energetic field. These energies keep you from living your full potential and may limit you physically or emotionally. It is possible to open the way for their release.
Laying of the hands (reiki):
Gentle & loving life force energy flows through to promote healing and relaxation.
Sound Healing:
May include music, vocal toning, icaros & instruments, channeled songs
Ancestral Messages:
During sessions when working in a prayerful space, oftentimes Fatua receives messages or images from ancestors or the spirit world that she may share with you.
Ancestral Spirit Mediumship:
There are various cultures around the world who practice mediumship, and the practice varies depending on the culture and the relationship a medium has with their ancestor or spirit. In the Shona traditions of Zimbabwe, a person is chosen at birth to be a medium by their ancestor or guardian spirit, it is not a decision a person decides for themselves. The person will usually have unique or strange occurrences in their life that bring them to this path. Their path will be confirmed by other spirit mediums, and they will go through initiations to prepare their body and mind to receive their spirit.
In these traditions, it is always specific spirits that are worked with, either ancestors or guardian spirits, it is not a concept of opening oneself up to any spirit who wants access. In Zimbabwe, mediums are usually fully inhabited by their ancestor, so their body becomes the temporary vessel for them to speak through, sharing knowledge and wisdom with others. However, every person’s practice is different, some mediums are able to still be present during councils and hear the information being spoken through them, some play music or dance with their spirits, others work closely with their ancestors through healing work. It varies for every individual.
In Western culture, mediumship is often misunderstood, and for the Shona, spirit mediumship is a safe, revered, beautiful, and important part of the traditional culture that helps people find healing, peace, and guidance in their lives.
