She brings to Reunion her work highlighting the ability to use our ancestral wounds as tools for inter-generational trauma healing. This work highlights the importance of being in the right relationship with the natural world, reclaiming belonging in the body, expressing our voice through song, and cultivating creativity in honor of the story we are here on the Earth to rewrite and offer back to the coming generations.
Devoted to her path of Curanderismo, she is a practitioner of the Mexica Piez Dezcalsos tradition, a student of the Amazonian Shipibo tradition through the Lopez lineage, and a certified end-of-life Doula. She carries the medicine of Cacao by way of her Maya Q’iche initiates and teachers, Paola IxTzunun and Gustavo Ik.
In facilitating accessible, safe containers with reverence to the diverse ways of self-remembrance, healing, and leadership, Mariana bridges the wisdom teachings of science and Spirit together as one in hopes of restoring harmony between humans and land.

After his retirement in 2018, Dylan kept busy on many fronts as he has transitioned his focus towards acting and screenwriting, tv hosting and commentating, coaching figure skating and power skating, and motivational speaking. Dylan was enjoying exploring new frontiers but it was when the pandemic hit in 2020 that Dylan really had an awakening. Like so many retiring athletes, Dylan struggled with the transition the lifestyle of elite sport and felt that not enough was done to help individuals, like himself, understand how to transform their way of thinking. This inspired him to dive deeper into understanding himself and reality while also studying ways to help others with their own healing journeys. Through working as a wellness and mindset coach, mentoring athletes with their transition, running retreats and facilitating alternative healing modalities, Dylan is driven to help people awaken to their truth and embark on a path of discovery and growth.
