ABOUT

I am Grace.

​

I am a carrier of songs and seeds, a keeper of wisdom and birth;

A moon dancing, tree hugging, life loving woman of the earth.

​

There are as many ways to slow down and get present as there are moments in time. This exploration, which has many different outward appearances, is a common thread between traditions around the world. I am passionate about exploring many cultures and traditions from around the world that are still connected to the depth of human experience and weaving my life into something beautiful with what I learn. I provide care, education, and support via a number of different modalities that I have studied hands-on with amazing teachers, intended to help humanity live in connection and alignment with nature and feel the increasing ease and joy that naturally unfolds through this alignment. 

I have received training, mentorship, and certification (more info in my teachers section below) in holistic well-woman care, birth work, postpartum care, herbalism, Mayan abdominal massage, yoga+yoga nidra, medicine music, sweat lodge and native ceremonial traditions of the Americas, and other healing modalities, which support me to hold space for settling the nervous system, creating a felt sense of safety, and cultivating the garden of life from a clear and centered place...from the heart and soul. I am deeply rooted in my Jewish ancestral lineage, and I have spent the last 12 years learning kabbalistic mysticism, pattern recognition, and healing generational familial trauma weekly with my Rabbi Henoch Dov Hoffman in Denver who is my greatest teacher and mentor so far in this lifetime and my sounding board for all of my studies and experiences. 

I am a pipe carrier in the Ollintlahuimetztli moon dance tradition since 2016. I received the name Xochitl Tohtli from my dear teacher Abuela Malinalli in 2019 after completing 4 years dancing at the Ollintlahuimetztli moon dance in Mexico. The direct translation is Flower Hawk; it also means Flowering from the Heart. It’s a name I am continuing to grow into, as it brings me clarity and guides my way on my path. Abuela Malinalli has been one of the most cherished, potent and important teachers in my life as well.

I have been blessed with amazing human teachers in this life, as well as many plant and animal teachers. I thank them all from the bottom of my flowering heart! A deep bow of gratitude with love to my family and my ancestors as well. My prayer is to continue to show up for life with my full attention and willingness to be a partner in the creation of a beautiful, thriving world to honor the lives of those who have given me Life and to sustain Life for the generations yet to come. May all children and all beings be well and happy.
