At the heart of Mariposa Healing is Jel — a Registered Nurse, Licensed Massage Therapist, Curandera, and Certified Master Reiki Practitioner whose work is devoted to caring for the whole person: body, mind, spirit, and energy. Guided by the philosophy that "rest becomes medicine and the body remembers how to heal," Mariposa Healing brings together clinical knowledge and ancestral wisdom into a single, deeply intentional practice. The result is a space where modern training and traditional healing traditions meet, and where every session is designed around the individual.
The massage offerings span both therapeutic and restorative needs. Clients can choose focused, healing-oriented work that incorporates deep tissue, myofascial release, and stretching, or gentler, relaxation-centered sessions in the Swedish tradition. Specialized treatments round out the menu, including prenatal massage for expectant mothers, grounding hot stone therapy, traditional Hawaiian Lomi Lomi, and full-body stretching sessions — many enhanced by thoughtful touches like aromatherapy, warm infused towels, breathwork, and energetic cleansing.
Beyond the table, Mariposa Healing offers a rich array of energetic and traditional healing experiences. These include Reiki journeys, crystal chakra alignment, polarity treatments drawing on the five sacred elements, and a range of ceremonies rooted in curanderismo, such as Limpias (egg cleanses), closing-of-the-bones rituals, and womb and heart healing journeys. Many sessions conclude with reflective discussion or an intuitive reading, and clients are often sent home with a sacred gift — a mojo bag, healing candle, or spiritual bath herbs — chosen to support their continued healing.
Jel's work also extends into education and ceremony. Mariposa Healing offers classes and certifications including Reiki Levels I and II, candlework and manifestation, and connecting with the archangels, along with a year-long curanderismo mentorship for established clients. As an ordained officiant, Jel additionally welcomes couples of all faiths, genders, and beliefs for weddings and vow renewals. Whether someone is seeking pain relief, deep relaxation, spiritual cleansing, or a meaningful rite of passage, Mariposa Healing offers a welcoming, whole-person sanctuary for rest, renewal, and healing.
