Blond white woman claiming to be Andean shaman peddling a confused mishmash of pseudo science alt medicine.

https://chacarunahealing.com/....healing session with Mona may include any of the following: Shamanic Healing, Advanced CranioSacral Therapy, Therapeutic Imagery and Biofeedback, Acupressure, Energy-Chakra Balancing, Crystal & Gemstone Chakra Balancing, Spirit Guidance Channeling, Distance Healing....
-------
So that's: Core shamanism exploitation.
Craniosacral, faux medicine with warnings out on it for causing deaths.
Chakras taken from Hindu tradition.
Crystal woo from Nuage.
Channeling.
Then there's the claims of Andean healing.

....Integrative Energy sessions, Pachakuti Mesa Tradition Workshops and Apprenticeship programs, mentoring, ceremony, Peru Spiritual Vision Quests.

All except one of those are Nuage, not Native. The fire cleansing is either a rip off of...and she admits it...
------
...from the Yachak lineage tradition and have evolved from the volcanic and fire energies in the high Andes of Ecuador. Pilgrimages are made to the three sacred volcanic vortexes in Ecuador. These sacred volcanic vortexes are a combination of the masculine and feminine energies of the spirits. The Fire Cleansing ceremony unites these energies. Mona undertook pilgrimages and experienced initiations in Ecuador, receiving the teachings and initiating in the Fire Cleansings.
-----
But there's no sign of Yachak fire cleansing ceremony anywhere online except her site.
The so called vision quests are just guided tours. Some other claimed training...

------
Polarity therapy is more pseudo science, claiming to manipulate energy fields.
Positional and myofascial are the same thing, more quack therapies.
Swe Thai claims to mix Swedish and Thai massage, but was created by an American.

Smith/Rain bounces back and forth between claiming to be a curandera and a shaman. One is definitely not the other.
Besides Miro-Quesada, who appears in quite a few other threads in the forum, her main teacher and partner is Pepe Arancibia.
It's pretty obvious that, despite hiding behind sunglasses and floppy hats, Arancibia is NOT Native. Also obvious he's always been just a tour guide, and still is.

https://chacarunahealing.com/trips-to-peru-about-don-pepe-arancibia/....At the young age of 11, he taught himself English and began
guiding the tourists throughout the streets of Cuzco,
working for tips....He has
traveled extensively and led groups into well traveled – and not so traveled –
tourists paths throughout all Peru. During his
years as a guide, don Pepe has developed intimate
connections with the campesinos and indigenous populations....
-------
"Connections with..." He's not NDN. At least they admit it, though all the faux NDN trappings all over the site give the opposite impression.
