For years, I searched for belonging: in classrooms, workplaces, spiritual communities, relationships… and I still do search. But I have learned the most important person to belong to is myself.

My name is Isabella Xochitl Ordaz and I am an artist, teacher, and healer. I am the Chicana daughter of Mexican immigrant parents and one of the first in my large extended family to graduate high school and college. I am also a proud tía.

I have been drawn my whole life to gathering folks, helping vulnerable people and creatures, and storytelling. Luna Rosa is not just a business or a side-hustle— it’s a space for me to practice my vocation… on my own terms. I’m honored for you to participate in this vision, whether it be through attending a yoga class, enrolling in counseling, or simply reading my Substack.

Wishing you peace & blessings!
