Biography

My chief healing influences come through the great women of my family who have carried on the traditions of their grandmothers and family healers: my mother. Ofelia Esaparza, my grandmother, Guadalupe Avilez, and our beloved Maya ancestor, Mama Pola, who never forgot the connection and lessons of the plants for healing.\" Dr. Esparza has studied herbal medicine, manual medicine and energetic medicine throughout the United States, Mexico and Central America.
