The respect and confidence inherited from them has left her with a passion to continue living connected to the land with honor and gratitude.

Mikizollin believes she has acquired knowledge about natural medicine, Medicina Tradicional Mexicana, from her family relations- the female bodies in her lineage, her abuelito sobador Roman Chavez Moreno, y todes los cargadores de tradicion en su vida. She has also attended various courses about Western herbalism to better understand the science and try to make connections between these gapped cultures.

During Summer 2018, she decided to delve deeper into her life missions and decided to include ‘doula’ support as part of her offerings.  Mikizollin believes in empowering new parents to create the process and birthing experience they desire in a dignified manner.
