BELLA VIGELAND – Herbalist, Energetic Bodywork Practitioner, Intuitive
At the heart of my practice is a profound connection to prayer, meditation, and the natural world, which I view as sacred sources of wisdom and healing. Rooted in faith, I trust in divine guidance as I support others on their journey to achieve balance and well-being.
As a natural health practitioner, currently on the path to becoming a naturopath, I specialize in herbalism and energetic bodywork. My approach addresses the root causes of symptoms while restoring harmony to the body, mind, and spirit. True well-being involves more than just “taking some herbs.” It’s about aligning diet, lifestyle, and the mind-body connection to awaken the body’s innate healing abilities.
Herbal Consultations
In personalized 1:1 herbal consultations, I work with clients to craft individualized wellness plans, explore lifestyle adjustments, and harness the healing power of plants to restore vitality and balance. Plants carry a unique vibrational energy that resonates with the body, helping to clear stagnation, balance systems, and promote healing on a cellular and energetic level. Herbs play a vital role in complementing physical and subtle energy healing, nourishing and supporting the body’s innate ability to restore alignment, reduce inflammation, and strengthen immunity. When combined with energetic work, the plants’ vibrations deepen the healing process, connecting us to nature’s intelligence and our own innate ability to heal. Together, these practices create a powerful synergy that helps clients reconnect with their natural state of wellness.
Energy Therapy
Energetic bodywork is a cornerstone of my practice, focusing on clearing blockages within the body’s energy fields and meridians to restore balance and vitality. This ancient yet scientifically supported approach works to recalibrate the body’s biofield, promoting a harmonious flow of energy. By calming the nervous system and activating the parasympathetic response, energy healing supports the body’s natural ability to repair and regenerate.
Through this practice, I help clients release stuck emotions, reduce stress, and tap into their own healing potential. Energy therapy acts as a bridge between the physical and spiritual, harmonizing the unseen energetic layers of the body with tangible physical health. It aligns the body with its natural rhythms, helping to restore balance to the endocrine system, improve circulation, and enhance emotional clarity. Paired with the vibrational energy of plants, this work fosters spiritual connection and a deeper sense of purpose, grounding clients in their journey of self-discovery and transformation.
A Holistic Path to Healing
My work reflects a belief that true healing happens when we live in alignment with nature and embrace the body’s innate rhythms. By blending ancient wisdom with modern understanding, I create a space for clients to heal, grow, and transform. Together, we can uncover a path to vibrant health, connection, and harmony.
“I’ve been going to Edilma Avendano for massage for many years. She is wonderful! She does the Rolfing technique of slow, deliberate movements on my muscles that gives me the maximum results for my body. I carry a lot of tension in my neck, shoulders, and mid back from a fall I suffered 30 years ago. I was in much pain for years and had tried many kinds of healing techniques such as wearing a neck brace, physical therapy, chiropractic, holistic chiropractic and acupuncture. After getting no results from any of these, I tried massage therapy.
I’ve found Edilma’s massages to be the most beneficial. Her excellent technique helps me release my muscles by letting go not only physically, but also mentally and emotionally.
Edilma has taught me that everything is connected—your body, mind, spirit, and emotions—and how important it is to take care of yourself in all of those areas. I highly recommend Edilma Avendano at Matiz Wellness Center for the best in healing massage. She and her family will take very good care of you!”
“In September 2016, I began having numbness in my feet and hands and walking issues. I’ve gone to many practitioners, healers, alternate healing modalities ,doctors, and a functional neurologist (X-Rays, etc.), Feldenkrais, Acupuncture, N.I.S., physical therapy, Orthogonial Atlas adjustments, Infra-Red Laser therapies, etc.
I am 67 and growing up my spine had a long scoliosis curve affecting many areas of my body. I’ve also been in several serious car accidents.
Most of the practitioners helped me in some way, however, the improvements didn’t stick or some therapies aggravated the symptoms. I began working with a Christian Science practitioner who help me correct my thought, and stay in alignment with Divine Oneness. Then, I was referred to Edilma. She is known as the Healer’s Healer. I was a healer definitely in need of help.
Of everyone I saw, all the intuitive guidance, etc. no one mentioned Gridwork to me.
I was using a cane, a waist support brace, and using a wheel chair at airports and going to stores when I first met Edilma and had a friend drive me for my first visit.
From my first session with Edilma, I began walking straighter and with a longer stride. After my second session, I became more balanced with walking and experienced easier mobility. My third session was a distant healing. The physical discomfort has lessened and some of the numbness in my hands and feet has lessened. The seeming impossible is happening for me as I know I am experiencing physical changes in my structure. I am healing, and I look forward to 100% healing!
