    Yaqui Rodriguez shares her upbringing drawing from folk Catholicism where spiritual practices were normalized in day-to-day life. Continuing the narrative, Yaqui elaborates on her spiritual awakening around her mid-20s, leading her to explore various belief systems and subsequently face life's challenges.

    Mediumship and other ancestral spiritual gifts can be reclaimed and integrated into one’s life after overcoming fear and societal stigma.
     
    Healing justice addresses the impact of oppression on bodies, hearts, and minds, connecting individuals to their ancestral lineage and holistic healing practices.
     
    Investing in oneself is an essential step towards spiritual development and realizing one's full potential.

100% On Point. Refreshing. Honest. Real.

I can’t say enough how grateful I am that Vanessa has “entered my bubble”. Through a mutual friend I started dabbling in reading her stuff on BeLatina, eventually followed her on FB which led me to her podcasts. Every single time I tune in to her frequency I am just in awe. Stable. Warm. No-nonsense. SO raw and real. Patient and informative, too! She is absolutely grounded in her purpose and it shows!
So far in a year and change I have yet to come across anything that wasn’t 100%.
It’s impossible for her. She is 100% tapped in!

Grateful for her and her work.

I can’t wait to work with her in the future.
