Raised by her grandmother in the mountains of Costa Rica, Carolina learned ancestral ways of healing from birth and gained insight into earth-based medicine. Her grandmother, Mamá, treated people for various ailments and set her on the path to bring healing to others. Though she doesn't heal the same way as her ancestors did, she sings to people's souls with the same compassion. Carolina has studied indigenous bodywork, hands-on energy work, Tibetan Singing Bowl Therapy, and Hatha yoga, among other methods. After studying Music Therapy Techniques for Wellness at Berklee College of Music, she pursued Existential Wellbeing Counselling at the University of Leuven. She felt more confident in embracing her ancestral roots and incorporating the healing sounds she learned as a child. She aims to share the positive impact of sound healing and earth-based practices on the human body, including remapping brain pathways. She has been initiated in a Sacred Fire Ceremony as a Cacao ceremonialist, following the Maya Tradition and Cosmology, by Fire Shamans Tata Izaias Mendoza and Nana Izabel Pérez. She is also a carrier of the sacred fire of the Popochcomitl, bestowed upon her by Grandmother Ximena Vera Teototoltzin. She holds the sacred responsibility of channeling spiritual healing and honoring the rich lineage of The Q'ero of the High Andes of Peru.
