The Rebozo Collective was created in 2021 by Angie Yañez and Andréa de Keijzer, Mexican birth and postpartum doulas and ritualists, who currently live in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal, QC and Tkaronto/Toronto, ON.
We offer treatments, trainings and ceremonies based on traditional Mexican medicine to honour, process, thank and celebrate life's transitions.

PILARS OF REBOZO COLLECTIVE
ACCESSIBILITY
If the treatment you'd like to take, or the training or ceremony you're interested in, isn't financially accessible for you, don't hesitate to contact us. We'll find a solution.
It's very important to us that our treatments and training courses are accessible to everyone.
We have scholarships available for the BIPOC community.
RECIPROCITY
For Rebozo Collective, it's essential to express our gratitude and appreciation to the people and communities who have passed on these teachings and practices to us.
A percentage of each treatment or training is donated to community projects and to our teachers in Mexico.
All the rebozos we use are handmade from 100% natural fibers by the Lopez Montaño/Bazán Chavez family, and are fair trade.
ECOLOGY
Whenever possible we use organic, local and fair-trade materials and ingredients.
In our treatments and trainings we do our best to minimize waste, and travel by bicycle when the distance allows.
