the Creatrix of Womb Shanti
Melvilin Shanti Parvan Rodriguez—known in the Yoruba tradition as Iyanifa Ifátinúwẹ̀, and soul-named Elunara Amara—is the visionary creatrix of Womb Shanti, a living temple devoted to feminine power, initiation, and embodied leadership.
Her work bridges the mystical and the practical, guiding women through deep transformation of the body, the shadow, and the womb. She does not simply hold space for healing—she initiates women into their power.
Elunara Amara, meaning Graceful Light of the Womb, reflects the essence she carries in this lifetime: to return women to their original knowing—where the body is wisdom, desire is truth, and transformation is lived, not just understood.
Initiated into the sacred lineages of the Taíno and Yoruba traditions, Ifátinúwẹ̀ walks with the breath of the ancestors, the rhythm of ritual, and the depth of shadow alchemy. Her work is rooted in lived experience, ancestral remembrance, and deep reverence for the cycles of the Earth and the body.
Through Womb Shanti, she creates immersive spaces—ceremonies, initiations, and retreats—that guide women beyond awareness and into embodiment. Her work calls forward the woman who is ready to stop circling her growth and step fully into her authority.
To sit in her presence is to remember:
Your womb is not something to fix.
It is a portal of power, truth, and creation.
