Description
Hello I'm Ana,
I grew up in the cloud forest of Monteverde, Costa Rica, and have lived here my whole life. I am a multifaceted artist and a holistic therapist with a passion for creation and healing.
As an artist I started working with clay creating pottery as a very young girl. I now dedicate my life to pottery, intuitive paintings of dreams, mosaics, and healing art workshops.
As for my medicinal work, I am a moonmother, dula, who focuses on guidence for healing the feminine soul and body with medicinal herbs, spiritual healing, reiki, kiniseology and massages.
My insipiration for my work comes from my three daughters, the nature that surrounds me and gratitude for the life that my ancestors have given me.
I live alone with my two dogs and a cat and rent two guest rooms that make my house very animated, lots of fun cooking, sharing the beautiful sunsets on the balcony, and creating art together.
Cant wait to meet you!
