Creation of Maya

Women's Wellness Retreats

My name is Tina Natalie Herms Bakhtamian.

I am a contemplative counselor, retreat facilitator, and transformational coach, and I create curated one-to-one restorative retreats for women in Oaxaca, Mexico.

Creation of Maya retreats support healing trauma from the past, developing more self-love, self-compassion, and self-forgiveness in the present, and expanding and potentiating ourselves for a more joy-filled and satisfying life in the future.

My approach interweaves sacred ceremony with clinical therapy: a coupling of indigenous medicine wisdom traditions from various lineages and modern psychotherapy methods. I work with women from all walks of life, with a with a focus on women who: are healers, artists / creatives, and social entreprenuers; are in midlife transiton (maiden / mother / crone); identify as neurodivergent and/ or highly sensitive; and who suffer from intergenerational trauma. I specialize in providing support in the transition through grief (due to death and non-death loss) and, in particular, addressing the legacy of historical, cultural, ancestral and collective trauma and grief.
