Embrace Your Inner Bruja: These Mujeres are Redefining and Leading Spiritual Wellness

A collage featuring Latina spirituality and wellness influencers

This year brought several transformative spiritual portals, leaving us yearning for a profound bond with our inner selves. Perhaps you've delved into your inner bruja during moments of uncertainty, looked into horoscopes, or found yourself researching the significance of those angel numbers that keep showing up.


However, spirituality is much more than a quick internet search. As astrology gains popularity, we’re reminded that the Latine community has always had strong spiritual and wellness practices. Oftentimes these are passed on from our indigenous and African ancestral lines, making them a ritual that feels more like coming home than a newfound practice.

With these motivations in mind, we present a selection of seven inspiring Latina spiritual and wellness guides who offer a daily infusion of inner connection, inviting you to embark on a transformative journey enriched by their wisdom:

Brujas of Brooklyn

Dr. Miguelina Rodriguez and Dr. Griselda Rodriguez-Solomon are some of the most well-known names in the Latine spiritual community as they strive to educate and heal women using indigenous techniques. Known as the Brujas of Brooklyn, these Afro-Latinas are kicking down spiritual barriers to empower you to release your inner bruja.

Looking for a spiritual guide that also focuses on social change? Melanie Santos is your girl. From focusing on intentional living to drive social change to educating her followers on how to empower themselves using ancient and modern practices, she does it all. This is a definite follow if you’re looking for ways to utilize self-care to rebuild your spiritual foundation.

Indigemama

Panquetzani is the name of Indigemama, a jack of all trades when it comes to feminine health. Working as a holistic womb counselor and wellness coach, Panquetzani serves to educate women on seeing their womb as a sacred passageway that connects the divine and Earth through it. Ancestral healing is at the core of her teachings to achieve balance between yourself, the Earth, and your family.

The Eaton, Palisades, and other fires have left Los Angeles County in a state of crisis, with widespread destruction and significant loss of life. Amidst the chaos, immigrant workers and the Latino community at large rallied to support the community and help save LA. At the same time, challenges for immigrants who are undocumented, immigrants who are documented, and anyone who fits the stereotype of what an “immigrant” looks like, continue to mount, as the Laken Riley Act makes its way through Congress, which threatens to undermine not just immigrant rights, but everyone’s rights.

I am always shocked when I hear someone say they’re not a feminist or even say that the feminist movement is this crazy new world ideology. It isn't a "trend" or something that is done to be "edgy."
