A Sobadora, or native healer by birth, Ana learned the healing traditions from both of her grandmothers. Ana recognized at an early age that she was a conduit for healing energy.
Focusing that energy Ana investigated traditional forms of healing, studied modern massage, anatomy and physiology and received training in polarity therapy, shiatsu and other healing modalities.
Ana has also trained in yoga, dance, tai-chi, and music. She completed classwork in literature, art and theater arts at The University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. Her university stage experience continued as she sang in a variety of local bands and acted in stage productions in Angel Fire and Taos. Recently she was the murderous German corporate espionage agent in a dinner-theater murder mystery.
Her soothing, expressive voice can be heard regularly on local radio as her performing career extends into radio advertising and promotional and educational voice-over.
Ana commenced her healing work in earnest once settled in the Moreno Valley of northern New Mexico. In Angel Fire and Eagle Nest she cultivated her own synergistic approach to personal physical and spiritual health. Innovative and thoughtful integration of extensive teaching experience and personal practice are hallmarks of her healing. She aims to learn all there is to learn from each client, student and teacher and return the wealth of that knowledge back to those for whom she cares.
An untimely divorce and life changes focused Ana on self-healing. Serendipitously, at the time she most needed healing herself, she discovered a gifted teacher who introduced her to Kriya meditation. Inspired in the meditation practice she saw more clearly than ever her life's purpose in the healing practice.
