Naomi Lake – Interpreter and Healer

December 2019 – I heard about GMRP through Priscilla Jackett, with whom I share grandchildren. Growing up, I assisted my mother, a pediatrician, in the well-baby clinics she started, and accompanied her to Mexico City while she was getting her Masters degree in Public Health. Both situations were immersion opportunities to learn Spanish. I have a degree in Anthropology, having focused my studies in cross cultural healing. I have been in private practice as a healer for over 40 years. For many years I ran classes and worked with individuals in different clinics throughout Mexico City.

I’m honored to be returning to Oliveros for the second year. Last year I began as an interpreter for Paula, a nutritionist, which illuminated for me a fundamental stress in the people’s lives . . . of not getting adequate nutrition. In light of perpetuating sustainability, which is necessary in any humanitarian project, I arranged for Moringa seeds to be delivered to Blanca, the 4-6 grade teacher in the school there in Oliveros, She was doing a project with her kids on planting edible trees. Moringa is receiving much notoriety globally as a “Super” food, rich in many vitamins and minerals. I look forward to seeing how her ‘Huerta por los Ninos’ is growing!

I also very much look forward to helping the people of this community by doing individual treatments and by teaching simple healing modalities that can help to release stress and pain with simple hands-on healing techniques and mindfulness practices. Last year I noticed a few who had the ‘gift ‘of healing. I hope to see them again this year to continue to nurture their development. These trips certainly nurture my development as a human being!

Looking forward to working together very soon!
