Hola, soy Zafiro

I am a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner, acupuncturist, energy healer, and midwife. I am of Canadian-Ecuadorian roots and I live in Puerto Escondido, Mexico. My work interweaves decades of study, clinical practice, intuitive knowledge, and life experience.

I completed my acupuncture training at Eight Branches College of Eastern Medicine in Toronto. I also hold a Bachelor of Health Sciences in Midwifery from Toronto Metropolitan University and I am a holistic, traditional midwife. I am also a mother of two wonderful children.

I chose the name Innate Healing Acupuncture because the power to heal your body lies within. Your body is innately wise and is always in the process of healing, regenerating and seeking to restore balance. Through the practice of Chinese medicine I help to facilitate the healing process that your body is already involved in. Your body is wise and you are the medicine.
