Indigenous, Earth Based Healing for the Feminine and for Mothers

About Rosa Maya

Rosa Maya Cubides Sánchez was born in the Colombian Andes region of Boyacá. For over ten years, she has walked the path of traditional medicine within the Chibcha/Muisca, Maya, and Mexica territories. She is also a Moon Dancer in Mexico. For the past decade, she has lived in the territory of Guatemaya alongside her children and her partner. She has been practicing massage for as long as she can remember; her work focuses specifically on traditional therapeutic bodywork and healing massage. She also emphasizes how to care for the body using traditional methods rooted in the elements—including steam baths and Temazcal ceremonies. She supports women through their various life transitions, as well as during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. Her practice centers on reconnecting with the roots of our ancestral lands, applying the wisdom of herbal medicine and ancestral steam therapies, and—above all—maintaining harmony within our physical, mental, and emotional bodies.
