About Us 

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 sacred sanctuary for the everyday woman navigating the deep initiations of her physical, emotional, and spiritual body. Her work is a weaving of the mystical and the practical, offering grounded support and spiritual remembrance to those who are ready to reclaim the wisdom within their womb.

​

Elunara Amara, meaning "Graceful Light of the Womb", is the soul essence she carries in this lifetime—here to guide women back to their original knowing: that healing is not a destination, but a spiral of becoming. She serves as a bridge between worlds, a keeper of feminine rites, and a midwife for the shadows that long to be integrated and seen.

​

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 power of shadow alchemy. Her medicine is born from lived experience, ancient remembering, and deep reverence for the Earth and her cycles.

​

Through Womb Shanti, she births transformative spaces—ceremonies, retreats, and programs—that awaken the archetypes of Maiden, Mother, and Wise, while tending to the often-unseen wounds of modern womanhood: grief, burnout, trauma, and disconnection. She offers not just healing—but a holy reclamation of feminine sovereignty.

​

To sit in her circle is to remember that your womb is not broken—it is a temple, a portal, and a beacon of power, prophecy, and purpose.
