Following the thirteen moons of the year and the thirteen stones of the Andean Medicine Wheel, this book guides the reader on a healing journey alongside Marcela's own as they grow in wisdom with each turn of the wheel.

Through healing, deepening of understanding, transformation, and embodiment, the reader will learn to walk the Medicine Path to find their power and inner beauty.
