Felicia Cocotzin Ruiz

Felicia Cocotzin Ruiz is a traditional healer, storyteller, and indigenous foods activist. As a child, she was deeply influenced by her great-grandmother, who was well known in her community as a curandera, working with traditional herbs, catching babies, and using her hands to heal.

Also called by the healing medicine, Felicia honored her own spirit and began studying massage therapy, energy work, aromatherapy, Indigenous herbalism, whole food cooking, and other holistic modalities, earning the title of Curandera in ceremony in 2018. Felicia lives with her husband in the Sonoran Desert where she works with the sun, the moon, and the elements, offering medicine workshops and one-on-one healing sessions for her community.
