Meet Raymi
I’m Raymi, the founder of Ceiba Root Wellness and a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC). My work is grounded in a whole-person, evidence-based approach that blends modern health science with the wisdom of yoga, ancestral practices, and nature-based living. I support women who want to feel more energized, aligned, and empowered in their day-to-day lives.
My journey began with my own healing. After becoming a certified Health Coach through the Primal Health Coach Institute in 2019, I embraced a whole-foods lifestyle and an integrated movement practice that helped me reverse pre-diabetes and high blood pressure. That transformation sparked my passion for helping others reclaim their health, leading me to establish Ceiba Root Wellness in 2020.
In 2025, I earned my NBC-HWC national certification—the highest standard in our field. This credential reflects rigorous training, demonstrated mastery, and assessment through the National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching in partnership with the National Board of Medical Examiners. It signifies a level of competence and professionalism that I bring to every client interaction.
Yoga and meditation are central pillars of my life and coaching philosophy. I hold an RYT 500 certification from the Himalayan Institute, where I study under Pandit Rajmani Tigunait, successor to Swami Rama of the Himalayas. This lineage continues to shape my understanding of balance, resilience, and the mind-body connection—and deeply informs the way I support my clients.

Why Do We Love the Ceiba Tree?
The Ceiba (Ceiba pentandra, or Kapok) tree is native to West Africa, Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean, and northern South America. It was also introduced to, and is cultivated in South and Southeast Asia.
La Ceiba (as she is affectionately called) represents transformation from one state of being to another. It is a sacred tree in various African diasporic spiritual traditions, including Lucumí, Palo, Arará and Santería. In West Africa, due to the widespread shade the huge Ceiba tree provides, the sacred tree is used as a central meeting place where many ancient traditions and rituals are passed from one generation to the next.
It is revered as the Tree of Life in the ancient Mayan civilization and believed to be a bridge from this word to the next.
Those seeking shade under the Ceiba tree are called by the grounding and stabilizing action of this great tree, an axis mundi, omphalos, or umbilicus. It supports myriad forms of wildlife in its canopy, and gives generously.
In the eye of chaotic change, La Ceiba represents stability, refuge, and the wisdom of the ancestors. It is a bridge from the ancestors to the living, from the past to present, from the known to the unknown.
During the first seven years of its life, the Ceiba tree armors itself with many sharp thorns that protect the trunk, in its most vulnerable stage of life. As the tree ages, the thorns surrender to smooth bark; inviting all who touch to find peace, soothing relief, and protection among its massive roots.
La Ceiba symbolizes calm in the midst of uncertainty and wild, unpredictable transformation. It allows us to embrace the changes in midlife with grace, resilience, and compassion towards the self and others. It calls us to be our best selves; to rise high above the noise to find balance, stillness, and perspective.
