Lisa Martinez: Honoring Lineage, Integrative Healing and Curanderismo

Lisa Martinez is board certified Doctor of Natural Medicine, an unlicensed Psychotherapist registered with the State of Colorado and a certified NADA Acu-Detox Specialist who walks the traditional healing and spiritual path of Curanderismo. This path can be described as a multifaceted blend of healing practices from the past and present that include indigenous folk medicine modalities from the Americas. Curanderismo is wholistic in nature as we don’t separate the body, mind and spirit of the people we work with.

Lisa’s family is from Arroyo Seco in Norther New Mexico and Southern Colorado areas where curanderismo was and still is an enriching and common way of life. She was born into the traditions of curanderismo gaining a large amount of knowledge from her grandmothers and women in community. They didn’t have a name for the practice, it was just a normal way of life for them. Lisa and her son also apprenticed with a curandera in Colorado as well as others from New Mexico, Mexico, Guatemala and Peru.

Lisa a student of La Maestra Clarissa Pinkola Estés and has attended many years of her trainings via the Archetypal and Cross-Cultural Studies Institute. She is also a participant of The International Collaboration of Indigenous Healers, Curanderos, Sanadores y Shamans which originated in the sacred mountains of the Tepoztlan Valley in Mexico.

Lisa currently teaches classes on curanderismo, obsidian and other spiritual topics for RitualCravt School. Current projects and community work include supporting the BIPOC Alliance in Fort Collins, Colorado.

Sessions typically involve limpias (spiritual cleansings), work to support healing from susto or post trauma, inner child work and journey work to connect with ancestors. Lisa also provides support through ceremony and sessions in the areas of death and dying both for who are for those who are transitioning or who have already passed and their families. Black Mesa Remedios is a small business co-owned by Lisa and her son Samuel. They offer a variety of products including teas, salves, spiritual salts, handmade jewelry and obsidian tools.
