Mari mari, hello, hola…

I’m so glad you are here taking the time to get to know my story. Our shared stories are so important for healing and connecting genuinely with one another and not just our human ones but of nature if we can listen.

Sharing my story and identity is rarely a happy occasion even though I personally take joy in who I am for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. psalm 139:14 I have encountered first hand that some stories are dominated by those who have a bias and position of power.

I am First Nations to Chile (Mapuche/”Land People”) and first generation Canadian Scottish. Yes, Native Americans exist in South America! I am also a Christian woman, a permaculture designer who loves the land provided to us with a passion for healing the land and our relation to it. As my people say, if the land is healthy, so will we be. If we are in right relationship to one another, to Creator and creation, we will be healthy. In this world, we slap on so many bandaids because we are disconnected from one another, from nature and from Creator and I believe I am here to help weave these divided worlds in small ways.

I chose Osteopathy as a way to help people heal because it personally helped me with my own life changing injuries and traumas. It’s principles and ways of looking at disease align with my own thinking. My credentials in this world may be in Osteopathy but my beliefs are my medicine and how I navigate here and in relationships.

I am delighted you are here and I look forward to hearing your story and walking with you for part of this journey so that you too can more fully become the person who weaves connection in meaningful ways.

Yours truly,

Vitalia - Tralkam Umuun Domo
