Meet Nataline Ruth Cruz | Shamanic Practioner/Spiritual Counselor/Maya Priest

We had the good fortune of connecting with Nataline Ruth Cruz and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Nataline Ruth, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking
I am a big believer in “all things are possible” — I am big on taking risks!! I feel strongly that life is all about following your bliss and not necessarily using a pro/con list to dictate your choices. It is all about how you feel and following your feelings, your discernment, and taking the risks to make all your dreams come true. My hope for people is to get them to jump all in on life. Living on Earth, in this physical realm is a risk and is all about learning. Taking a risk is allowing yourself to fully live. We are only here to learn. There are no right or wrong decisions, only experiences. I want to leave this life knowing I jumped at every experience life had to offer me.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
When I am asked to talk about my business it is difficult for me as I don’t perceive my work as a business or as a job. It is my mission, my life’s purpose.

I have a healing space called Strawberry Moon Energetics, Ancestral Healing & Sacred Teachings, LLC. I am most proud to see the people who have been attending my classes, working with me personally healing, growing and blossoming beautifully.

I have worked hard, mostly one on one with people for many years in hopes of helping them to heal and find peace in their lives. It dawned on me that I could be more effective if I worked with groups so I began teaching classes. This is where I felt even more connected to Humanity, to the higher frequencies and the passion to continue my work.

The majority of people hear about me through word of mouth. I take that very seriously as I know my work is Sacred. I work with people on such an intimate level that I am hyper aware of how much they need to trust me. My work, my Sacred place was built one brick at a time by each person who trusted me to guide them and then turned around and told their loved ones.

I am deeply grateful for every person who has trusted me and allowed me into the intimate areas of their Being.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Well I am the last person to take out off towners around! I take people to Strawberry Moon, to ceremony, and to the tops of the highest mountains and that is about it. So a few days with me would begin with a session with me — Platica (heart to heart conversation) and a Limpia (energetic healing), a Maya Fire Ceremony, a hike up Mt. Blanca, a long soak in the hot springs and definitely a stop at a taco truck! Lol.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
So many people played a part in my journey from my family to my teachers. My parents definitely deserve a shout out as they have supported my work since the beginning. And they never doubted that I could do what I do today.

My partner Alan deserves the most recognition and almost never receives any. I always say he is the behind the scenes guy. He is the one who shovels the snow at 6am so my clients have a path to my door, he runs those last minute errands, hauls the chairs and fire pits and drives me all over the state for ceremonies and other events. He holds down the house when I’m traveling all over the world. He never complains and supports everything without a question. He knows I have a mission and never asks me to chose. He just patiently waits for my return. There are many things I do that, without him, would be definitely be more difficult.
