I’m Ali, a first-generation Latina born in San Bernardino, Ca (occupied Serrano territory). I currently reside in Long Beach, Ca ( Occupied Tongva territory). Born to a migrant father from Lo Arado, Jalisco, Mexico and a mother who is a daughter of migrants from Chihuahua, Mexico and Puerto Rico. I am a Mayan descendant of the Huichol from my paternal lineage.  My Maternal lineage is still unfolding. Returned to my ancestral traditions of Curanderismo, I have studied under Master Plants with indigenous elders in Africa, Central & South America, and right in my own home. I have been given the blessing of having teachers throughout the world from New York, Florida, Central & South America, and Africa guide me thus far along my path.

I was not raised being taught the traditional ways of medicine used by my ancestors, it has been through my own healing journey that I was guided back to these sacred practices to learn them, honor them, and bring them back to the public for healing support through mainstream healthcare bridging western allopathic medicine with indigenous earth-based practices.

Over the past 12 years caring for over 3,000 patients per year, I came to recognize that there was major gap between chronic disease and healing. I have spent the better part of the last 14 years studying health, science, nursing, Western medicine. I have traveled the world providing care to several indigenous communities with the majority of service in my own hometown San Bernardino County, California ( occupied Serrano Territory). But it was in 2018 when I began to see the failures in the healthcare system and in 2019 when the failures directly affected me.

My journey began as a little girl born into rockbottom living in poverty and being bounced around from home to home until the age of fifteen. Through my journey I suffered emotional, mental, physical, and sexual trauma that led me to develop depression, anxiety, attempted suicide, self-abandonment, people-pleasing, codependency, dysfunctional, relationships, eating disorders, body dysmorphia, heart disease, irritable bowel syndrome, obesity, ovarian tumor, PCOS, endometriosis… all of which went undiagnosed until I went to school and began to study the body and started investigating the root cause of my own symptoms.

In 2019,

For the last four years I dove deeply into studying Curanderismo, Eastern medicine, Herbalism, Yoga, Earth-based medicine.

I created Soul Buena Salud for the individual who is like me, who craves a connection with a healthcare provider who is trained by life and has dedicated their heart and soul to service through reconnecting with their ancestral gifts and has sought alternative measures to heal themselves and desires to time to share their wisdom to help heal others.

I share my gifts through private consultation in my practice, Soul Buena Salud, where I provide integrative health & wellness coaching, intuitive guidance, energy clearing (limpias), life counsel (platica), somatic therapy,  sound healing, herbal remedies, healing touch (sobadas), yogic practices, and my background as a Family Medicine Nurse Practitioner bringing union through all that I have lived, experienced, and studied for the optimal holistic approach to support my clients.

I have many degrees, certificates and accolades, but the greatest and most powerful degree I have ever received has come from… LIFE.

My approach to wellness is to guide you through the process I found not only helped me but helped many of my patients and clients find healing.

A multidimensional and bio-individual approach because no one problem has one treatment or solution.

If we believe we can heal, the body will guide us.

I am lifelong student of life, Spirit, the seen and the unseen.

For the lives that have allowed me to take part in their health and healing journey in deeply intimate ways. I uphold your trust with so much honor and tremendous responsibility and respect.

Gracias, thank you for being here on this journey with me to your healing holistically.
