My name is MahaDevi and I am a Holistic Healer, Artist, Masseuse Singer, Musician, performer and a shamanic practicioner.
My soul is like a gipsy, free, playful and fiery.
The creative Flow that generates inside of me has always been my guideline, and my true medicine for this life experience.
I was born in Mexico-city and raised in the Netherlands.
With a dutch mother, and a Mexican Father, I was privileged of meeting both cultures.
On the age of 17 I started to sing and play on my guitar, wrote my own songs, while watching the moon from my window. This was a way to express myself with words and feelings.. Connecting to the moon was a big inspiration for me.
My voice is connected to my Mexican grandmother.She died when I was 7 years old.
She was a Opera Singer and a big inspiration to me. When she sang, I could forget about the whole world.
Because of her, I learned how to sing, so there is a emotional connection to singing, because it reminds me of her
In 2007 I learned about yoga and meditation, and it opened my heart in such a delightful way, that soon after I applied for a Hatha yoga teacher training in The Hague, where I studied yoga and meditation for 3 years In yoga school Osmose.
These teachings made me the person I am today, and I am very grateful for these years.
The reason that I did the training was to achieve self development and spiritual growth.
Soon after I completed my Reiki Course and started with a shiatsu massage course, where I learned ,chi-gong, acupressure points and foot reflexology.
My name, MahaDevi means “Great Goddess” And was giving to me by my spiritual Guru Amma.
MahaDevi is the Divine mother Goddess. She is incarnating the wife of shiva Parvati. She is the Ultimate Shakthi and she embodies all the Goddesses in Hinduism.
In 2010 I started to travel to South America and India where I spend my life living as a nomad and experienced different approaches to alternative life style, and felt the urge for new perspectives and cultural wisdom. I travelled alone through these countries while backpacking, volunteering with children, and meeting people in their homes.
The healing journey started in the Amazone Forrest in Brazil where I spend 4 months living in a Ayahuasca community. Ayahuasca is a plant medicine that helps the tribes to heal mental and physical illnesses over thousands of years.
I had a profound meeting with the spirit of this medicinal plant, and got clear visions about the big changes that were about to happend in my life. In some Mystical way I went through a death experience during one of the ceremonies, and I was shocked.
But miraculously after the ceremonie I felt reborn, and soon I adapted this new knowledge into my reborn body system, where my heart never had felt so good and free.
I began to listen to medicine music, and for the first time started to share my music and voice in that moment. From there on I began to use my voice as a medicinal tool and started to sing for healing and shared from the heart.
I was organizing singing circles, and learned to sing and play the devotional mantras, rainbow songs & ceremonial music.
From then on I started to feel an incredible creative flow, where I dived into permaculture workshops and artistic communities to feel the need to learn more about alternative life style.
In that search I was finding new ways to express myself and to make a connection that suited more to my hearts purpose.
I sang on the streets, in busses, was selling hand made crafts on artistic markets and took dancing courses and gave creative recycling workshops to children.
I stept into a holistic field where body, mind was challenged with art, movement and music. It made me have a deeper connection to my nature surroundings.
In 2013 I started to travel to India, not knowing for how long, where I would travel, but with one thing in mind… I was going to find something that was going bring me back into my essence, my pure self.
I found a new way of connecting through Dance with contact improvisation, and this was a big eye opener for me.,
I have always been dancing as a child( classical ballet) but I never knew there was a dance that took my mind into a whole new perspective.
It was a very tantric experience and I fel in love with the dance and with myself. I found new qualities in my body, and my heart and mind were vibrating love and curiosity.
Together with the dance I started to take tantric lessons with Hare prem.
I also learned allot about Ayurvedic massage, tantric massage, deep tissue and Thai yoga massage during my traveling in India.
Then I joined a few Yoga Ashrams, and Silent Retreats, where I spend 10 days in Vipassana Meditation.
In 2015 I followed my heart and moved to Barcelona where I joined an Experimental Theatre school where I did some very deep soul /shamanic work with an amazing teacher Jessica Walker in Laberatorio Escuela where I worked on my own creations, materials, in performances and I had a weekly program where I learned about Chinese medecine, Hara, Dance, Authentic movement, Art, Clownery and kundalini Yoga.
Besides the theatre school I spend most of my days wandering the streets with my guitar, looking for other musicians.
But most of the time I spend my time busking alone on the street where I was making some money to eat.
In the summer holidays I would travel to Rainbow Gatherings where I would meet my family tribe and share some amazing art, music and most of all love.
Today I carry along the rainbow songbook with me like my sacred bible..:)
Today, I am a mother of a beautiful boy and I am very happy where I stand. Because after all these experiences I would like to share my love with the world and let it know that there is hope for healing as long as you listen deeply to you heart.
I feel a big urge to heal with artistic approach, with a taste a shamanism and with lots of universal love!
Since the birth of my son,things started to shift for me, and after a very dark period of my life I started to pick myself up again,and began to connect to my dreams and wishes.
The idea came to start a little corner in my room to give massages.
Today I am full with new ideas and am so excited to share all my gifts, and have a mission to inspire people to become more and more themselves.
My massages and healings are a mix of grounding, playful, gentle, and cosmic touch.
I work on a intuitive level and so the massages and healings are always related to the person receiving the healings.
Within the sessions let my hands be my guides.
They know how to heal and have been healing several friends and people that were in physical pain.
I am happy that I can help,to be a portal of universal love and healing, to assist others on their life journey.
My guardians are there working beside me, serving light ,and guiding me throughout the process.
Very thankful for them to support me in my life path!
With all my love,
In great gratitude to the divine,
MahaDevi
