I can often be found teaching medical practitioners how to incorporate systematic cleansing and herbalism into their protocols. Botanica West was by buisiness that originally housed an old school herbal shop and mini clinic in Running Springs, California. My clinic was also a teaching facility where several apprentices were taught how to utilize Native American and Mexican American herbal remedies as well as Chinese medicines while they attended their own certification-based programs. I carry the practical wisdom of other healers and Curanderos and Curanderas. One of my cultural specialties is an ancient massage called, Empacho.
