Adela is a ceremonialist, animist, sahumadora, Ayurvedic practitioner and medicine woman, who dedicates her life to the preservation and revitalization of indigenous wisdom and tradition from her Quechua lineage of the Andes of Ecuador.

She currently resides in stolen lands of the Tongva, Gabrielenos tribes, today known as Los Angeles. She completed her initiation into the Red Path of the Lakota tradition in neighbor Chumash territory of the Central coast of California with her teacher Hua Anwa of Cherokee/Mexica/Mayan blood.

Adela was born and raised in Quito, Ecuador.

At 15 years old her first introduction into the world of spiritual healing came through the teachings of the master plants Ayahuasca and San Pedro of the Ecuadorian Amazon and the Andes respectively.

Adela is a mestizo woman who assumes her mixed ancestry of Quechua and Spanish / Basque colonizers’ blood as a powerful tension of opposing forces that help her skillfully weave teachings from different Indigenous backgrounds.

Adela is the daughter of the Apus -the Sacred spirit of the Andes. As daughter of colonization, of resistance, and of imagination, she centers her core values on the two most important principles 0f the Andean Cosmovision:

THE SUMAQ KAWSAY

The Art of Good Living

which promotes the idea that the collective wellbeing of the community is achieved through harmony within nature and with one another, human, and more than human.

&

AYNI

The Art of Sacred Reciprocity

From the five principles that define the Andean way of life AYNI (reciprocity) is regarded as the most important value, as it provides the backbone of life.

With a degree in Film Studies and her great affinity and love for the visual arts, she thrived for many years producing photo shoots for film marketing and for several musicians and artists.

After the birth of her daughters, Mia (16) and Lily (12) , she recognized the call of her land and welcomed the responsibility to deepen her relationship with the Earth Medicines pivoting towards the world of integrative healing, slowly designing what the next chapter of her life would look like.

Adela’s path and dharma is rooted in her South American lineage, she is deeply grateful for India and the teachings of Ayurveda and its sisters sciences of Yoga and Vedic Astrology, which became bridges to celebrate her indigenous roots and return to the cosmovision of her original land.

She feels immense gratitude and deep humility to serve as protector and guardian of the sacred technologies of the abuelos and abuelas of the Andes and the Amazon. Her passion is to create ceremony and ritual based on animistic practices, mentoring 1:1, and holding spaces for deep transformation and remembrance.

WHAT MAKES her UNIQUE

• Lineage-Rooted & Spirit-Led: I walk with the voices of my ancestors—Ecuadorian, Andean and I listen deeply to the unseen.

• Ritual as a Way of Life: I create transformational experiences that are both mystical and practical, sacred and accessible.

• Embodied Feminine Cosmology: I teach from the feminine—not just about it—with language and presence that reawakens a lost remembering.

• Justice-Aligned & Earth-Centered: My work is not separate from liberation. It is woven with social, spiritual, and ecological justice.

• Bilingual + Bicultural Depth: I offer a bridge between South and North, Indigenous and modern, oral wisdom and structured learning.

Adela lives her life as her art, she’s a curandera and modern medicine woman, a life long student, an avid photographer, horseback rider, and altar protector and creator. She has been certified as an Ayurvedic Practitioner and Vedic Astrologer. Adela has been facilitating retreats of plant medicine: Ayahuasca, San Pedro and Psilocybin mushrooms for the past eight years.

She also offers individual psychedelic assisted therapy and microdosis guided protocols.
