Meet Adriana González Villa, a revered medicine woman and ordained interfaith minister whose life’s work is deeply rooted in the traditional healing medicines of Mexico. As an acupuncturist, musician, and yogini, Adriana brings a holistic approach to wellness, offering sound meditation, healing sessions, and facilitating transformative medicine ceremonies.
Adriana’s inclusive ministry is anchored in indigenous wisdom traditions, reflecting her dedication to honoring and preserving ancestral knowledge. Raised as a first-generation Chicana in the United States, Adriana holds dual citizenship with Mexico and the USA. Her journey of healing and reconnection began in her early years, growing up in a multicultural community in Houston, Texas. Despite facing rampant personal and institutionalized racism, she emerged with a profound commitment to social justice and cultural understanding.
At The University of Texas at Austin, Adriana pursued degrees in Cultural Anthropology and Ethnic Studies, working tirelessly with marginalized populations, including undocumented citizens, homeless communities, and incarcerated youth with disabilities. However, her path took a transformative turn through a profound spiritual initiation, leading her away from social justice law and toward the healing arts.
In 2013, Adriana repatriated to Mexico, where she founded a healing arts center on the southern Pacific coast. Her work at Present Moment Retreat, where she has been a beloved collaborator since 2014, focuses on guiding individuals through their healing journeys and fostering a deep connection to the land and ancestral ways.
Adriana is not only a dedicated healer but also a loving mother and wife, living in Troncones, Guerrero, with her family. Her personal experiences as a bi-cultural woman of color inform her empathetic approach to healing, making her an invaluable resource for those seeking holistic wellness and spiritual growth.
Rev. Adriana Maria González Villa continues to inspire and transform lives through her compassionate practice, inviting all to reconnect with their heritage and the sacred wisdom of their ancestors.
