My Vision
As a Spiritualist with nearly a decade of experience guiding individuals toward profound healing, my commitment is deeply personal: to reclaim our Ancestral ways of healing, to tap into wholesome wellness, and to honor the connection and relationship between the mind, body, and spirit.
The Path to Healing Without Limits
My spiritual journey started in a Catholic household where seeing and speaking with spirits was labeled as "bad." But no matter how much I was redirected, the path always found its way back to me.
I still remember being in third grade, exploring a friend's new basement, and stumbling upon a deck of Tarot cards wrapped in cloth. It was my first introduction to spiritual tools, and though I spent so many years leaning in and out of my gifts out of fear, my curiosity and my Ancestors became louder than any fear I held. Throughout my childhood and going into early adulthood, I’d always find myself in botánicas, reading tarot for loved ones, making spells, and learning about healing and wellness.
In 2019, I finally surrendered. As a healer witnessing the collective energy and harm carried by BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities, I realized I couldn't truly show up for others until I honored my own truth. That’s how Healing Without Limits Apothecary was born. What started as "Wicked Wick Candles" has evolved into a space for Reiki-infused goodies and a sacred space for anyone seeking healing, wellness, care, and magick. Today, I’m committed to learning from my Elders and deepening my practice so I can show up for my community with everything I have.
