About Me

Hello! My name is Eliana. I am a queer, neurodivergent, third-generation Mexican-American who grew up in the system. As a healer, musician, and educator, radical love and acceptance is as the core of all I do. When we can love ourselves so deeply that we can meet others with an open heart and a willingness to learn, share knowledge, and understand that which we don't know, connection, learning, and healing can take place deeply and fully, manifesting in ways that are beautiful, genuine, and true. ​​I have developed a deep appreciation for knowledge and culture sharing in many forms through my holistic health, creative, and grass roots organizing communities, which has allowed me to learn so much about self expression, community care, and wellness practices, and I hope to share these skills and deep healing practices with others. 

​

Throughout the years, I have worked with folks ages 6 months to 57 years, assisting them with basic life skills, writing and communication skills, and language development for ESL students. I have also worked with children ages 2 to 13, providing accessible platforms for nature, that focus on outdoor education as a form of social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development, as well as a space for children to stay connected and grounded to the world around them and learn more about what it means to connect to and care for the earth. Through the use of a play, place, experiential and emergent curriculum in canyons and along beaches, inner-city youth are able to gain access to a different way of living and relating to the world around them.

 

 I intention to hold space through healing and nature education as a means of decolonizing our relationships to ourselves and the land, get people back to their roots, hold space for their prospective cultures, and ultimately, allow for a sense of wonder and curiosity towards what it means to be human, and what it means to be part of the earths natural and cosmic cycles.  In cross cultural knowledge sharing about how we as individuals, community members, and human beings connect to the earth through things such as stories about nature, holisitic and medicinal uses of plants, food ways, food growing and techniques, traditions, plant relationships to other life forms and intelligences, cooking, and the like, I hope that we can continue to unionize as people with the deep understanding that we are all a part of nature. 

​

 I believe that we must take care of ourselves and our communities to foster more localized means of supporting ourselves in order to shift away from those that are doing great harm to the world by weaponizing education, the earth, and ourselves towards each other, and this is why I offer the services I do at a sliding scale. I also accept trades and other forms of energy exchange. Please feel free to reach out if you would like any services or just want to connect.

​

May we all find peace in our hearts, the compassion for all that makes us human, the drive to make the world a better place, and a passion within ourselves to be ourselves in all ways, all day.
