ABOUT MAYARI WHISPERS

ABOUT DOROTHY BORJA
Hi, I’m Dorothy. You can also call me Dot. I’m the energy healing practitioner here at Mayari Whispers, living in gratitude on Gabrielino Tongva and Ventureno Chumash lands (Los Angeles County).
My path in the healing arts unfolded during the pandemic. I learned about Vedic astrology, how to access the Akashic Records, and how to work with oracle cards. I wanted to connect more deeply to my roots. So, I eagerly consumed the work of Dr. Leny Mendoza Strobel (Babaylan, Filipinos and the Call of the Indigenous), Ka Lane Wilcken (The Forgotten Children of Maui: Filipino Myths, Tattoos, and Rituals of a Demigod), and Ka Virgil Apostol (Way of the Ancient Healer). Meggan Watterson’s Mary Magdalene Revealed was another work that really spoke to the depths of my heart. I also connected to Reiki and crystals in a deeply personal way. It’s not so much that I found Reiki and crystals. It’s more like they found me.
Certified by Chona Bernardo in Usui Holy Fire II Reiki (Level I a nd II) in 2020, I received my Master level Certification in Holy Fire III through Jaclyn Kalkhurst in 2021. Both of my esteemed teachers learned directly from William Lee Rand, founder of the International Center for Reiki Training.
Regarding crystals, my love for minerals ignited under the guidance of Janelle Corpuz Hethcoat through her Crystalline Keys Courses. Joycie Weatherby’s Crystalline Core Healing Certification allowed me to experience crystals in new ways and gave me the opportunity to share crystals as a healing modality. I’ve continued my energy healing education through Kyle Gray’s Crystal Energy Guide certification.
The most recent modalities that have shaped my offerings are sound healing and conscious breath. In 2024, I trained in Oracle Sound Alchemy and in 2025, Oracle Breathwork. Both courses from Queenie Hilfer have been transformational for my personal as well as professional growth.
Beyond the healing arts, I am a momma to four beautiful, amazing kids. Even now, they continue to be my greatest teachers. Before life as momma, my work background was in Marketing and Media Planning.
Through energy healing and holding space for stillness, I hope to not only share the overflowing love and abundance that the universe offers but also reintroduce the love and inner peace that we cultivate within ourselves. Consider this your invitation to come back to wholeness. Thank you for visiting and I look forward to being a part of your wellness journey.
who is mayari
In Filipino Mythology, Mayari is the Goddess of the moon, revolution, combat, beauty, and strength. When her father, supreme being Bathala, passed on, there was contention over who would rule the earth. Mayari’s brother Apo Laki wanted absolute power, while Mayari wanted to share the throne. They battled until Mayari lost an eye. Apo Laki apologized to his sister and they both agreed that they would rule the world equally. During the day, Apo Laki, god of the sun, lit the earth, while Mayari, goddess of the moon, illuminated the night.
Mayari represents a divine feminine that moves from a place of inner knowing. Both strong yet gentle. A balance of masculine and feminine. Embracing the whole. Mayari embodies the softness, intuitive, emotional, sensitive nature of the moon but the strength to uphold fairness and equality. Apo Mayari, Goddess of the moon, revolution, combat, beauty and strength- she is a relevant symbol of today’s multi-faceted modern day femme.
