from her website bio:

Erika Buenaflor, Curandera, Spiritual Coach/Counselor, and Medicine Ceremony Facilitator

Erika blends her cumulative 18 years of studying with curanderas/os and shamans in the Maya Yucatecan jungle, and academic studies of Mesoamerican shamanism and curanderismo at UCLA and UCR to take you on a journey of positive transformational healing and growth. She obtained a Master's Degree with a focus on Mesoamerican shamanism and curanderismo, and has given lectures at Claremont Graduate University, UCR, and UCLA. She also teaches series of workshops and classes on Curanderismo and Maya Shamanism, including: The Art of Limpias, Soul Retrieval, Yerberismo (medicinal and magical properties of plants), Maya Moon Magic, and The Sacred Tools & Practices of Curanderismo. She expects to have her first book on Curanderismo, Shamanism & Limpias published in late 2016. After healing from a catastrophic injury, she began to fully embrace her gifts of healing, eventually left her career as an attorney, and began doing what she loves to do as a curandera. As a modern-day curandera, she excels at translating and applying this sacred knowledge to help her clients realize and live their BLISS.

Erika along with her husband Miguel Buenaflor, host weekly meetups for LA area residents for everything from "Soul retrieval ceremonies" to ecstatic breathwork and meditation nights.  They are also known to host medicine ceremonies (for a fee of course) with Ayahuasca.
