Adela is a ceremonialist, animist, sahumadora, Ayurvedic practitioner and medicine woman, who dedicates her life to the preservation and revitalization of indigenous wisdom and tradition from her Quechua lineage of the Andes of Ecuador.

She currently resides in stolen lands of the Tongva, Gabrielenos tribes, today known as Los Angeles. In neighbor Chumash territory of the Central coast of California, she completed her initiation into the Red Path of the Lakota tradition with her teacher Hua Anwa of Cherokee/Mexica/Mayan blood.

Adela was born and raised in Quito, Ecuador.

At 15 years old her first introduction into the world of spiritual healing came through the teachings of the master plants Ayahuasca and San Pedro of the Ecuadorian Amazon and the Andes respectively.

Adela is a mestizo woman who proudly recognizes that her mixed heritage of Ecuadorian, Quechua blood mixed with Spanish, Portuguese and Basque colonizers’ positions her to skillfully weave into her offerings Eastern knowledge with traditional Indigenous Medicine.

Adela is the daughter of the Apus -the Sacred spirit of the Andes. She is daughter of colonization, of resistance, and of imagination, and she centers her core values on the two most important principles 0f the Andean Cosmovision:

THE SUMAQ KAWSAY

The Art of Good Living

which promotes the idea that the collective wellbeing of the community is achieved through harmony within nature and with one another, human, and more than human.

&

AYNI

The Art of Sacred Reciprocity

From the five principles that define the Andean way of life AYNI (reciprocity) is regarded as the most important value, as it provides the backbone of life.

The other four being:

  • MUNAY (loving-kindness)

  • YACHAY (abiding wisdom found in ancient memories)

  • LLANKAY (honest labor, personal power through self discipline and service)

  • KAWSAY (the life force, everything is connected through a web of energy).

With a degree in Film Studies and her great affinity and love for the visual arts, she thrived for many years producing photo shoots for film marketing and for several musicians and artists.

After the birth of her daughters, Mia (15) and Lily (11) , she recognized the call of her land and welcomed the responsibility to deepen her relationship with the Earth Medicines pivoting towards the world of holistic healing and slowly designing what the next chapter of her life would look like.

Adela’s path and dharma is rooted in her South American lineage, she is deeply grateful for India and the teachings of Ayurveda and its sisters sciences of Yoga and Vedic Astrology, which became bridges to celebrate her indigenous roots and return to the cosmovision of her original land.

She feels immense gratitude and deep humility to serve as protector and guardian of the sacred technologies of the abuelos and abuelas of the Andes and the Amazon. Her reciprocity and life’s duty is to create ceremony and ritual based on animistic practices, mentoring 1:1, and holding spaces for deep transformation and remembrance.
