I´m Ariana Pedroza
Welcome! I’m Ari, and my journey is deeply rooted in the healing traditions of my
Latino heritage. The name Curandari comes from "Curandera," a Spanish term meaning
healer. I believe that within each of us lies an inner healer, waiting to be
activated. As a first-generation Mexican-American, I’m passionate about making
holistic healing more accessible and breaking down the taboos surrounding
alternative medicine.
Growing up, I witnessed my grandmother using herbs from her Mexican garden—like
"Yerbaniz" and "Gordolobo"—to treat common ailments. These experiences connected me
to my roots and instilled a sense of belonging. Many in the Latine community carry
intergenerational trauma and face lifestyle diseases that often go unaddressed,
inspiring me to embrace a healthier lifestyle and empower others to do the same. By
reconnecting with our ancient wisdom and integrating it with modern resources, we
can heal not just ourselves, but also future generations.
My path to healing wasn’t easy, but it taught me invaluable lessons about balance,
peace, and resilience. I gained expertise in Shiatsu, Chinese medicine, nutrition,
yoga, and massage therapy—my refuge in restoring balance in my life. I hold
certifications in yoga, HIIT yoga sculpt, integrative nutrition, and Chinese
medicine, and I am committed to guiding individuals on their journeys to healing.
Together, we can activate your inner healer and create lasting change for yourself
and your community.
