My name is Maria José

I was born in central Mexico and have my heart scattered in so many places I have had the pleasure and honor to live for long periods of time during my tender youth: Barcelona, Cannes, Lausanne, Rotterdam, Montreal, Vancouver, Toronto, San Francisco, Mendocino, Hawai’i, Mexico City

This is such a big part of who I am.

I have travelled extensively and have a deep passion for the sacred and water.

I have a kinship for knowledge : specially for history, folk medicine and mythology.

Since a very young age I been fascinated at food and musical traditions around the world, and know so much about so many things ( I have to admit that my range is broad and unhinged)

I adore having conversations with people about their ancestry and weave into contemporary world. I love everything around primitive skills and homesteading and gathering skills before I settle back at my family’s ranch in the mountain in Mexico.

I have slowly come back to my native american indigenous mexican roots from a life time of eurocentric persepective as I am also a european national.

I am passionate about native american rights and the bison restoration projects around the United States, where I reside permanetly with my husband and cat, Olive.

I have always wanted to become a doctor, but thank god I didn’t, as this clinical sterile pharmaceutical enviorments would have killed my soul in the process.

I have had the priviledge of leisure and finding my true calling in holistic care and ayurvedic medicine and a place to advocate for clean beauty and inspire woman and children to see themselves as living rivers to be protected and look at how our beauty habits flood the actual living river and shed with chemical pollutants from our beauty rituals.
