Mija, I want to help you Heal and Remember how beautiful your Roots are by helping you to Re-connect to your Ancestors, Spirt, and our Earth Mother.

They may have tried to sever our roots but they did not know we were seeds!

Hola! Yo soy, Melina Chavarria.

Creator of Cuidate Mija, Mujer Medicina, Healer, Re-birth Midwife, Activator of Ancestral Memory and Weaver of Words and Worlds. At the end of the day I am just another Daughter, Mother, Sister, Lover, Friend… trying to stay rooted in my humanity and be my best self!

I am focused on Reconnecting our Communities back to our Roots, back to our Ancestral Medicines and Wisdom. With the intention of freeing us from generational cycles of pain and survival and helping us to reclaim more Joy.

I am honored to guide you through your healing journey by sharing with you the medicines that healed me. I have spent the last 4 years remembering and reclaiming my Ancestral ways and Medicines to help me heal from my own traumas and deepen into my understanding of being a Trauma Informed practitioner. I began to explore Ancestral Medicines, remembering the medicines and codes that were passed down to me through my lineage, and grandmothers who were Parteras (Mid-Wives), and Curanderas (Healers).

Now it is my life’s work to bring back our Ancestral ways of being, healing and living to help others heal from Trauma, and help cultivate cultures of trauma informed care, to help restore harmony on this Earthly plane.

I integrate and weave all of my experiences to help organizations, businesses, families, individuals and couples, heal and lead. By Reconnecting you back to Spirit, your Ancestors, and Nature and all of its Elements that are here to help us on our journeys.  I work using the medicine of the Four Directions & with the aid of the Elements/ Elemental Beings (Nustas), Earth, Wind, Water and Sun, as well as the medicine of the Q’ero Incas that I have been given permission to share.

I combine my personal and professional experience, along with this Ancestral Wisdom, to help guide you on your journey, as you cultivate self-care, embrace your wholeness, and connect deeper with your ancestors, your purpose, and your spirit. It is my belief that we must continue to care for ourselves, each other, and our Earth if we want to continue to create abundance for ourselves and the collective.

My professional training includes:

A Bachelors in Human Services Counseling

Masters of Science in Psychology: Leadership Development & Coaching

Certifications in Coaching, Trauma & Affairs

Professional Certified Recovery Coach (Helping Addicts and Family’s of Addicts)

Student of the Q'ero Inca Shamanic Path

Initiated Medicine Carrier of the Q’ero Lineage from Maestro Raul Apaza

Lastly, thank you to all of my Ancestors, Grandparents, and Spirit Guides for guiding me on this scared journey!

You are so welcome here, as all that you are. Together, we can cultivate a life that nourishes and cares for you, and those you love.
