Zia Pueblo
Summary
I bring with me 18 years of sobriety, over 15 years or Native American Artistry and over 4 years of Behavioral Health Services. Including 12 Steps to Recovery programs, Talking Circles and Drumming Circles. I am a Father, Grandfather and Husband and am very traditional in our ceremonial ways of life. My own personal struggles with alcoholism and my spiritual teachings helped me connect very well with those that needed the spiritual connection for better healing. Mind, body, spirit, compassion, empathy, care and love, help the healing.
