Melissa Castillo
Meet Melissa, your guide for this beautiful retreat. Melissa is a Certified Holistic Health Coach, Mexican Medicine Woman, Soul Immersion Practitioner, Reiki I & II practitioner, Q’ero Incan shamanic apprentice, and somatic and trauma-informed.
Melissa’s mission is to support individuals on their journey to evolve and self-realize that safety and harmony in life resides in the body. She utilizes ancient wisdom and nature’s connection with modern practices to heal the body, mind and soul.
She specializes in gut health, teaching people how to heal dis-ease and symptoms by detoxing, repairing, and nourishing at a cellular level with organic nutrition and nature’s resources. As her learnings evolved from being a former personal trainer for 6.5 years and receiving a B.A. degree in Human Development, to then gut health coaching, she went deeper into her studies on soul health. She learned that the emotional body and energetic body also requires detoxing, repairing, and nourishment to improve soul health, not just physical health. This looks like shadow work, ancestral healing, working with rays of light, and self-love practices.
Her motto is “my mess is my message”. A majority of her knowledge and wisdom roots from her own life experiences. As your guide, her intention is to support you on your journey back home into the safety of your body, re-indigenizing.
