Welcome to
Indigenous Healing Studio

My name is Verbena Freg, and my Hopi indigenous birth name is "Ba'voy'on'ma'na," meaning "spider magic." I was raised on the Hopi reservation in Northern Arizona, in the village of Hotevilla on Third Mesa. My formative years were spent under the guidance of my grandfather (Qua'ah), Titus Qomayumptewa, a revered healer, farmer, leader, and priest. His wisdom and healing gifts extended beyond the Hopi people, touching lives around the world. He lived a full and meaningful life, passing peacefully in 1994 at the remarkable age of 109.
 

 

Growing up on the farm with my grandfather taught me that simplicity brings peace and humility. Though we lived without modern conveniences such as running water, electricity, or plumbing, we never felt deprived. Grandfather often reminded me, "We are the rich ones! We are happy, healthy, and Mother Earth provides all that we need." He instilled in me the importance of living in harmony with the Earth—nourishing our bodies with natural foods and using medicinal herbs for healing.
 

 

The greatest gift my grandfather passed down to me was his sacred Hopi healing practices. Even in the Spirit World, his presence continues to guide me. I am honored to carry forward his legacy and uphold his teachings.
 

 

In Love and Gratitude,

Verbena
