Tul'ix
Indigenous Arts
Traditional Healing for Spirit, Belly, Womb and Earth
We offer bodywork and spiritual healing trainings rooted in the traditions of the late Don Elijio Panti of Belize. We honor and recognize this parent culture as seed-bearer, supporting each of us to connect to our Benevolent Ancestors and remember how to plant again.
Our values are rooted in compassionate decolonization. This model gives everyone, including the living and non-ordinary worlds, equal seats at a table while treating wounds according to need. It is our sincere belief that such a model is needed for our species to course-correct and remember how to care for all.
Tul’ix therapies include bodywork inspired by traditional sobada and supported with additional techniques, particularly for the back body, which address multiple structural, functional and psychoemotional presentations. Spiritual healing, utitilzing prayer, plants, the elements and the dreaming, is fundamental to this offering of bodywork.
Tul’ix therapies have applications for all bodies at all ages and stages, including in the realms of:
Reproduction: This work has a strong focus on uterine health and alignment and as such can support women and female-bodied folks with menses, infertility, preconception, pregnancy, postpartum, menopause, hysterectomy healing, fibroids, endometriosis and more. Prostate care, urinogenital support, post-surgery recovery and supporting a deepened connection to one’s own body is available to all including male-bodied, intersex, transitioning folk and anyone anywhere on the spectrum of gender and identity.
Digestion: This work tends every organ and organ system of the abdomen, with far ranging impacts on all the fluids and connective tissue of the body. All digestive complaints, including autoimmune, can be supported.
Structural: Pelvic misalignment, sacral dysfunction, constrictions around the spine that impact abdominal organs and much more can be addressed with this work.
Trauma and the Nervous System: Through holding, spiritual baths, bone closings and more, there is space on the table for release, restoration and reclamation.
Ancestral Healing, Grief Work and Ecological Repair: This work inevitably invites us to remember who we are, mourn what we have lost and advocate for the Living World in a myriad of ways.
