Rafael/a (Rafa) is grateful to be a surviving descendant of Filipin@, Mexica and uknown Spanish ancestors, baklat and curander@ ancestors; healing and growing. He has come to birthwork through bodywork, as he found bodywork to be an integral part of healing from any physical/spiritual transition, especially pregnancy. Being raised in a family that valued and practiced helot helot (massage), and later experiencing support through bodywork during life transitions, Rafa eventually pursued a license in massage therapy to practice in the state of Washington. Rafa has continued to work as an LMP since 2011, supporting transgender, gender-fluid and two-spirit/ed folks with bodywork and energywork. To learn more about his practice, visit www.xochimeh.com.
