IT'S TIME FOR HEALING Holistic Sanctuary
Meet Sister MAYASA
From the humble beginnings of her loving grandparents and elder aunties "Mayasa" (MAH-yah-sah) experienced the benefits of natural herbal remedies early in childhood. There is no doubt in her mind that plant leaves, bark, berries, flowers, and roots grow here on earth for us to use for our benefit. This philosophy is a driving force that keeps her creating her natural product line, building a wellness holistic spa and resort in Westmoreland Jamaica, and acquiring the most up-to-date certifications in Midwifery and Birth Work. Maintaining her Caribbean style and Igbo, West Afrikan indigenous distinctiveness, inner peace, and fitness is also something that she holds to herself.
A vegan health enthusiast who attributes her new mind study to her experiences in Kemet, (Egypt) Northeastern Africa a great part of her awareness of a spiritual awakening. Mastering a 500RYT Kemetic/Hatha yoga teacher certification in Westmoreland, Jamaica with Yiser Ra Hotep shortly after returning and spending meditative, healing time off the shores of Darkar, Senegal with Ayy Kwei Armah.

About The Curator of
Afrikan Culture
Mayasa supported me through the birth of my healthy baby boy. She was so giving, and full of information. She offered encouraging words and awesome pointers when I felt my husband was really afraid of having a natural birth. I'll always love and respect this woman, she never imposed her ideals and really allowed me to be better informed of my options.
