Meet the People
Behind the CTM’s Insightful Journey
We are honored to introduce you to the extraordinary people who have shared their ancestral knowledge, wisdom, and ways of healing with us over the years. Some have walked beside us for decades; they are friends, colleagues, and teachers whose voices, hands, and stories have guided our work.
Each one has shaped our projects in meaningful ways, helping to weave connections between traditional medicine and present-day healing practices, and cultivating healing practices rooted in respect for nature. Their contributions remind us that every healing practice carries the spirit of those who came before, and that our journey continues through the knowledge they so generously share.
