Curanderismo: Traditional Midwifery
by Margarita Camarena
English and Spanish versions
Margarita brings you into the world of the Tlamatquiticitl, the traditional midwife in Mexican culture.
This esteemed community member guides women through menstruation, and couples into fertility, conception, pregnancy, and the postpartum period.
Often working with families over a generation, the Tlamatquiticiti receives reciprocal care well into her final years.
This cherished elder's life itself has been dedicated to bringing new life.
This is the second of four blog posts Curandera, Margarita Camarena will share over this 2023 season. Her work preserves, honors, and protects her ancestor's teachings. We are grateful for her sharing this series with us.
Essence Dot: The Story of Ai
by Ai Tauber, IFPA, LMT, developer and founder of Essence Dot
私がアロマセラピーに出逢い、アロマセラピーを初めて学んだのは1998年。
当時の日本では、まだ多くなかったアロマセラピースクールでした。本場イギリスで学んだ講師によるアロマセラピー、リフレクソロジー、アロマセラピーマッサージが私にはとても合っていました。
