Meet Ylinel
Lead Facilitator at Melodic Moonrise
Ylinel is a multidisciplinary ceremonial artist, sound healing practitioner, and womb wisdom guide originally from Venezuela. She is devoted to creating spaces for healing, remembrance, nervous system regulation and feminine awakening.
The natural world profoundly shaped her love for nature. Years spent working closely with the ocean as an underwater videographer and scuba instructor opened a deep reverence for nature’s intelligence, rhythm, and silence. The sea became one of her first temples, teaching her about presence, surrender, mindfulness, and embodiment.
Having lived in Ireland, the United Kingdom, Mexico, and now South Africa, Ylinel carries a cross-cultural perspective shaped by a nomadic journey through more than 25 countries across Europe, Asia, the Americas, and Africa.
During her years in Mexico, she sat in ceremony within oral traditions, learning through direct experience, prayer, and community rather than through books alone. These lived teachings continue to inform the depth and integrity of her ceremonial work.
She holds a 120-hour Diploma in Temazcal Tradition from Centro Atlachinolli, is a Reiki Usui Level II practitioner, and is certified in Sound Healing with Himalayan Singing Bowls. Her studies also include Diplomas in Self-Knowledge and Menstrual Education (Despierta Escuela, Mexico), Natural Gynaecology and Herbology (Casa Sol y Luna), and initiations into Ancestral Release Ceremonies and Cacao traditions.
Alongside her ceremonial work, she holds a degree in Communication Studies, an MBA, diplomas in Photography and Ayurvedic Cosmetology, and has worked professionally as an underwater videographer and scuba instructor.
Her eclectic lifestyle, travels, and diverse paths have deeply shaped the way she works and what she brings into her ceremonial spaces. She is devoted to guiding healing and awareness through sound vibration, voice liberation, and heartfelt gatherings that reconnect us with the Earth and its natural rhythms.
