Herbalist
Freedom Platia
I have been dedicated to learning and serving people in the healing arts for 26 years. Through the years, I have continued my studies and training to deepen my knowledge and wisdom. My offerings include massage, shamanic reiki, caocoa ceremonies, herbal healing,and workshops .
The road I have chosen as a healer requires me to do ALOT of my own healing in order for me to grow so that I may serve you better. Healing is work. It is deeply rewarding and can also be very uncomfortable. But one thing I have learned throughout the years is that the deeper I can go, the deeper I can take you into your healing process. And this is what I am intensely dedicated to; to my growth, to humanity’s growth and healing. The more we heal as individuals, the more we allow space for those around us to do so and the ripple effect of how that benefits the collective is real…just like a pebble dropped in a still lake…the ripples expand far and wide.
When you come to me for healing services, you aren’t just getting a massage or just Reiki. You aren’t just getting an herbal formula, a cup of cacao, or a coaching session…you are getting all of the years of my own healing, years of my training and education, all of my lessons learned, all my years of experience in the healing arts, and my deepest dedication to your healing.
My sessions are mixed with a variety of the modalities that I offer and no session is a “one size fits all.” I have a plethora of tools at my disposal during our sessions. We work together, each doing our part to facilitate your healing, as this is a team effort. All my sessions are individually tailored to support you in the best way possible and is agreed upon as we work through what you are requiring in your healing.
Healing is not linear nor is it accomplished by addressing only the body, only the mind, or only the spirit. True healing is holistic and in order to truly heal, it must encompass all of these things and more. Above all else, true healing requires the desire to grow AND an open mind.
(I have worked closely with the Indigenous Traditions of the Mayan Tz’utujil and have been given the blessing by Mayan Elder’s Tata Pedro Cruz and Nana Marina Cruz to serve cacao. I hold this blessing with deep gratitude and am dedicated to serving it with integrity, protecting the plant and the nations it comes from. Cacao is a sacred plant and is used to support our minds and emotional hearts, especially when used in ceremony. 10% of all sales from cacao ceremonies go back to the Indigenous communities.)
