In the MOONHUT, we work in the Wise Woman Oral Tradition of Herbalism, passed down woman to woman through time. The spirit of the plants & natural elements work in harmony with the Helping Spirits {yours & mine} to help move out of the way anything that is ready to be composted, feeding the growth of who you are BECOMING. You’ll leave the MOONHUT with the BODY & SOUL REJUVENATION that results from receiving the abundant SUPPORT that our Mother Earth provides, which is always right here. 

MAYA WOMB CARE

In the ways of my teachers ~ Miss Beatrice Torres Waight of Santa Familia, Belize, and Ann Drucker ~ we honor the fact that a woman’s Womb is the center place of her power and creativity. Maya Womb Healing & Maya Abdominal Massage focuses on re-centering the uterus {if you have one} physically, and also re-centering the Womb space, thereby reconnecting you with your own creative center of power as a woman. Together, we explore and improve your Womb well-being, positively impacting your overall WELL BEING as a woman ~ physically, emotionally, spiritually, & creatively. You’ll leave the MOONHUT EMPOWERED with knowledge of your own WOMB WISDOM, and clarity about how to continue to care for yourself as a womb-centered being.

SELF-CARE COACHING

In the MOONHUT, you are the Wise Woman. Here, you rediscover your inner compass, learn how to listen to your innate body-wisdom, and allow that inner Wise Woman to come out and play/ create/ destroy/ heal/ reveal/ and revel in the reality of your own felt experience. I will teach you the wise ways of Feminine SELF-CARE, so that you can develop a lifestyle that truly supports you as a woman. We’ll also explore Womb, Nature, and Life-Cycle Alignment, simple & effective Herbal & Earth-Based HOME REMEDIES, and tools & skills for working with the big emotions that transitional times inevitably bring forth. Through this one-on-one, in-the-moment guidance, uniquely tailored to you, you emerge from the MOONHUT with FEMININE TOOLS & SKILLS that will serve you for a lifetime.

Here’s What It Looks Like ~

  • Wise Woman Guidance ~ I’ll offer expert guidance about how to care for yourself as a woman, which may include Herbal prescriptions, empowerment Assignments, and Feminine Lifestyle tools & skills.

Enjoy These Stories From the MoonHut ~

Allie Van Buskirk 
Faculty ~ University of Colorado, Boulder 

“Opening the door to Marianah’s MoonHut was like entering a precious passageway to the divine. A sensational, liminal space, saturated with the essence of ancient mystics and holy mother. Marianah’s grounding presence and soothing voice so ease-fully transported my consciousness to what felt like home – home in my body, in my spirit, and in my seat as an awakening woman called to heal myself, my lineage, and this planet. Throughout our session, she was truly with me every step of the way, recognizing when energy was shifting and knowing exactly what was needed in each moment. I felt incredibly seen and held while simultaneously being encouraged to open more, shed more, feel more, trust more, love more. With Marianah’s guidance, I was able to dispel a shadow that had been lingering for far too long and come into deep communion with Gaia through the healing plants she shared from her land. The messages Marianah intuited for me that evening were profound, and have become daily mantra. Marianah’s depth of knowledge and experience, as well as her deep-seated devotion to the heart of spiritual teachings, was crystal clear throughout our time together. I am incredibly grateful for this experience; working with such a skillful, radiant practitioner was such a gift.”    ” ~ Allie 

Melissa Geiger
Wellness Coach, Founder ~ Nourishing Our Radiance

“I honestly felt so deeply moved by my session with Marianah, that I don’t quite know how to put it into words. She brought me right up to my soul’s growing edge in a way that only traditional indigenous ceremonies have done for me in the past. Her very presence is like medicine and it is an absolute honor to work with Marianah. I had forgotten how deeply transformational a single hour can be. Marianah is a truly wise and skillful guide. She creates such a beautiful, sacred space. I felt deeply supported and honored as I faced a major life transition. Marianah illuminated some of my blind spots, which helped me to navigate this transition with more clarity, ease, and strength. She also offered suggestions of feminine embodiment practices that have brought so much beauty and poignancy to this time in my life. I can’t recommend her work highly enough. Right after our session, I opened to and experienced a potent synchronicity and twist of fate that lead me to manifest my new dream home! I’m feeling blessed and grateful and I am really looking forward to more sessions in the future!” ~ Melissa

Jamie Michelle 
Owner, Designer ~ Sienna Moon Designs  

“I had the honor of working & healing with Marianah for 4 months privately. I highly recommend her to any women that wants to do really deep, transformational heart + soul work. …Deep…deep! Marianah is an amazing, wise, and present intuitive. Her medicine is magic. She’s able to shed light on and see things that you can’t. I have so much LOVE for Marianah and her work. She is pure love medicine. Our work was amazing and it changed my life. A ‘thank you’ seems so small compared to what I feel inside my heart for what Marianah offered me…a new beginning. I feel healthy and whole and present. My MoonTimes have all been regular…this has not been so for a long time. And I loved the recordings she made for me. They were brilliant! Marianah soothes and nurtures and guides. Working with her is pure bliss. I’m in tears.” – Jamie

Meet Your Guide ~

Hello! I’m Marianah Jade Patrice Montesano Bacal. I find myself in the potency of Middle Age, with over two decades of sincere, thorough, devoted, passionate, and relentless study & practice of Women’s Embodied Spirituality; and well over a decade of experience as a facilitator of the beauty & safety of Women’s Ways. I’ve inspired, taught, and created sacred spaces for thousands of women all over the world, both in-person and online, for the last 15 years. 

I’m the Land Stewardess at Eagle Prairie Land Sanctuary, my family’s homestead & community retreat space. As wife to my soul-mate, mother of a truly extraordinary 12 year old coming-of-age girl, Herbalist, Celtic Folk Harp musician, and baker, I’m also now a woman in the midst of my peri-menopausal Metamorphosis.

Like all conscious women who make it this far, I carry a substantial, multi-flavored Cornucopia of Women’s Wisdom to share. I’m proud of my harvest, as I’ve courageously weathered many fierce {and some downright frightening} storms to gather it. It brings my life into full circle and color, whenever I get to share it…especially with those who are thirsty for something real…

I stepped onto the embodied path of Women’s Spirituality nearly 25 years ago, at the ripe age of 19, and have gained a tremendous amount of education and experience of leadership in the field, since. 

My greatest qualifications as a Mentor and Guide, are born of my own life experience. However, a few of my most relevant Education, Training, and Certifications for this MOONHUT work are as follows ~

A Poem for the Soul ~ 

THE OLD HEALER, TO THE Soul ~

It’s not your back that hurts, but the burden.

It’s not your eyes that hurt, but injustice.

It’s not your head that hurts, it’s your thoughts.

Not the throat, but what you don’t express, or say with anger.

Not the stomach that hurts, but what the soul does not digest.

It’s not the liver that hurts, it’s the anger.

It’s not your heart that hurts, but love.

AND IT IS Love ITSELF THAT CONTAINS THE MOST POWERFUL Medicine.
