Curandera Lineage
Rowan’s path as a healer began at eighteen, when a curandera elder recognized her gifts and set her on the path of traditional healing. She has spent the 36 years since studying with indigenous and traditional healing arts practitioners across multiple traditions.
In 2004, renowned curandera and author Elena Avila picked Rowan out of a room of fifty people and blessed her as “curandera total”—a complete healer—and named her “the sunflower from El Paso,” honoring her border roots and her capacity to turn toward the light while staying grounded in the earth.
Rowan is transparent about her identity as an Anglo curandera. She was taught by elders who chose to share their knowledge with her, and she carries that responsibility with humility and ongoing commitment to learning.
Birth Work in Crisis
Rowan’s midwifery career was forged in fire. During the COVID-19 pandemic and the community uprising following George Floyd’s murder in 2020, she worked at a Medicaid birth center in Houston where monthly births jumped from 2 to 37. When hospitals restricted access and families needed alternatives, she was there—holding space for new life during collective trauma, serving families who deserved excellent care regardless of their insurance status.
That experience shaped everything about how she practices today: steady in crisis, adaptive under pressure, and deeply committed to serving people who are often underserved by the mainstream medical system.
Philosophy of Care
Rowan believes that people know their own bodies and their own lives. Her job is to provide information, support, and skilled hands—not to make decisions for the people she serves. She practices with a harm reduction approach, meeting clients where they are rather than where she thinks they should be.
Her practice is trauma-informed, queer and LGBTQ+ affirming, size-inclusive, and full spectrum. As a queer provider herself, Rowan understands the importance of affirming care.
She draws on both traditional healing wisdom and evidence-based clinical practice, seeing no contradiction between the two. The curandera’s role is to open roads for others, not to walk the path for them.
El Paso Roots, Houston Practice
Born and raised in El Paso, Rowan carries the desert and the border in her bones. She lives in Houston with her wife and family, bringing urban curandera energy to the fourth largest city in the country from her inner loop office.
Rowan provides clinical services attended by a working service dog.
She is also a fiction author writing about a curandera-midwife in West Texas. Learn more at HellaGoode.com.
