Dra. Rocío Rosales Meza, is a Xicana/Mexicana Indigenous women in diaspora. She is a Seer, initiated medicine woman, on the ñusta paqo path in the Q’ero Inca lineage, & is a Counseling Psychology Ph.D. She is also an unschooling mama to a 5 year old child who also holds supernatural gifts. Dra. Rocio’s path is that of a medicine woman, she is not a Licensed Psychologist, as she is not aligned with the colonial Eurocentric field of today. She honors the traditional path, her ancestral medicine. She comes from a long line of healers on both her maternal and paternal lineages and was born with psychic, channeling, and mediumship gifts.

Dra. Rocio’s work has had a global impact to evolve the collective consciousness. Dra. Rocio’s work is deeply rooted in Indigenous wisdom, medicine, and worldview. While she is highly sought after, she only works with those she feels a deep resonance with and those that align with and understand the work we are tasked with at this prophetic time. Dra. Rocio believes in the prophecies of many Indigenous nations, including the Condor and Eagle prophecy of the Q’ero nation which names this time as the time that humanity must evolve and shift into sacred reciprocity with Mother Earth and all of Creation to end the times of chaos and harm.

Dra. Rocio’s work is at the intersections of decolonizing, spirituality, and wellness. She walks and works in between the earthly and spiritual realms. Dra. Rocio is able to see beyond this ordinary reality to bring forth the highest timelines and visions into our earthly reality. She is grateful to her teachers, Pampamesayoq Don Alejandro Apaza and medicine woman Marilu Shinn for helping her REMEMBER.

Dra. Rocio practices energy medicine & “Shamanic” earth based medicine. While she does decolonial work, that is only part of her work. Dra. Rocio views her decolonial work as the passageway to restore harmony and balance and integrates energy & earth based medicine through her offerings as she believes it provides the deep roots that are needed to dive into this intense work or it can become destructive.

At the core, Dra. Rocio’s work is about healing from humanity’s collective shadow, colonization and remembering we are all peoples of the Earth carrying medicine that will help us to remember the sacred ways. She deeply believes in dismantling the oppressive colonial paradigm as it is this very system that has made us unwell, that has uprooted, fragmented, and disconnected us from Spirit in all things, from our Great Mother, from self, and each other. As a medicine woman, Dra. Rocio knows that collective healing and liberation begins with healing self and unlearning harmful programming so that we can then act in ways to restore the times of harmony and balance. 

Dra. Rocio’s work can be described as decolonial healing and decolonial shadow work™ as it addresses layers at both the conscious and unconscious levels. Her work also weaves somatic work, energy work, and deep healing at the levels of the spirit and psyche Dra. Rocio offers group guidance, self-paced teachings, weekend intensives and facilitates healing to all peoples that believe a better world is possible and feel called to doing their part to co-create it.
