Josefa’s Story

I knew I wanted to be a medical doctor since the tender age of 4. I followed this calling and though my path has taken many twists and turns, I returned again and again to my own deep knowing of the body’s innate capacity to heal. From this wisdom, I am delighted to bring into wider consciousness an ancient medical paradigm, one of deep caring and listening, gentleness, and trusting in the body. I call this paradigm Innate Medicine.

I am indebted to my mother, my first teacher in holistic healing. And I am deeply grateful to all of my ancestors who have guided me deeper onto this path.

I live in San Francisco with my most amazing three daughters. I love hiking, sky gazing, oceans, and sand dollars. I have strong heart connection to my ancestral land of México and am humbled daily by our interconnectedness and the capacity of the human bodymind to heal and love. I believe earth and body are one. What we do to ourselves we do to our planet. It’s a joy to accompany my patients on their own journeys of deep transformation and self-cultivation.
