Since then, Aeli Ronin Yaka, spiritual name given to her by these Master Plants, she assumed the mission and commitment to help other human beings, in love for our Pachamama and all that inhabits it.

She also uses crystals, flower essences and essential oils, reiki and massage techniques, among other elements. The sacred dance she performs, energetically harmonizes and cleanses people and spaces.
