A B O U T T H E A U T H O R
Josie was born into a Mexican-Cuban family rooted in the healing arts of Curanderia, shape shifting and clairvoyance. At an early age she was introduced to the practice of Curanderismo, Mexican Folk Herbalism, as a way of life. She studied and worked in the NYC Fashion Industry for over 18 years before she pivoted her life to share her love of wellness & alternative healing as a full time offering with the brand Curandera Remedies.
During the NYC years, Josie studied with various folk herbalists, in the Western Tradition, adding to her already rich family lineage of Curanderismo. The completion and certification in 2015 as a Health Coach with the Dr Sears Wellness Institute has given Josie an opportunity to refine the tradition of Latine Folk Herbalism to introduce others in the use of herbs for everyday wellness.
Today Josie is a modern day Curandera
Her role as a Yerbera, one who works with herbs, is to share her knowledge with depth, joy, and clarity with her Miami community and during global travels.
Josie is also an experienced Yoga & Meditation teacher. She holds certifications in Viniyoga, Hatha Yoga, and the Prison Yoga Project. Since 2001 she has completed studies with the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center and the School of Practical Philosophy.
Her first book "Latine Herbalism" is a guidebook to Modern Curanderismo, Healing Plants, and Folk Traditions of the Americas. It is all-in-one guide offering a fusion of time-honored and contemporary remedios y rituales for all who have an appreciation of Latine culture and communities.
