I’m Ceci Córdova. I’m a Certified Nurse Midwife, Certified Family Nurse Practitioner, mother, artist, and wife. I’m also a traditional healer. I’ve worked previously with a Curandera and other healers and have been learning to be guided by my ancestors, spirits, guides, curanderas, and healers. Since I began to open my heart to ancestral guidance, I have seen remarkable success in peoples’ healing through bodywork and through their own desire, along with different kinds of medical care.
Since childhood, I always felt drawn to healing, especially as a midwife, and later as a traditional community healer. In order to train as a midwife, I became a Registered Nurse. Further training in Nurse Midwifery, Family Nurse Practice, herbalism, craniosacral therapy, and other traditional forms of medicine and health care have extended and deepened my practice.

Working in homes, hospitals, clinics, and birth centers, I have enjoyed providing care for many people of diverse ethnicities and cultures, as well as women from other countries who spoke only their native languages. I enjoy and prefer cultural variety in my work.
At Sacred Good Medicine, I care for all people of all sexes, gender identities, ages, ethnicities, cultures, nationalities, religions, personal pronouns, dietary preferences, vaccine status, and skin colors. You are welcome at Sacred Good Medicine.
I try to be inclusive in my language as I am in my work and in my heart. If you are my client, I will love and care for you. I am still learning to use inclusive language and may stumble but my desire is to serve all who come to me and in my language I strive to express that. I use the terms “birthing person” and “mother”, “breast feeding” and chestfeeding” because all are relevant to somebody, even if one of them is not relevant to you at this time. My own pronouns are “she” and “her” and I will do my best to honor your preferred pronoun use.
Come in, introduce yourself, drink tea, and tell me your story. I will be honored to have you.

I am committed to safe health care and choice for all. To this end, I will work with you to provide your care regardless of your ability to pay.
I am contracted with some health insurance companies with others in process. Regardless of your insurance status, I am happy to work with you to insure you get the care you need. Most insurance companies will pay up to 60% of out of network services. I am glad to provide you with an invoice for your care.
My goal is to care for everyone who needs this care. To make that possible, we need to share the financial load. I know that we all have different amounts of money to spend. I have expenses and need to support my family, as well. Toward that end, I’ve set up a sliding scale, with some guidelines to follow if you are unsure. If you are in the full fee category, you are helping me to care for people who are unable to pay my full fee. People in the middle are still contributing to my expenses so that I can continue to do this work. If you are unable to meet the fees in the sliding scale, your community has your back, as they help me to meet my expenses and you make an exchange of what you are able to afford.
Fee Scale:
Cost for one one-hour visit
$200 visit, includes a full one hour visit and super bill for your insurance company, if needed
If things are tight and $200 is out of your reach, we have a sliding scale, to enable you to pay what you are able.
Sliding scale: $100-200 for one full one hour visit
If $100 is more than you can afford, I accept barter, trade, payment plans, or what you are able to afford, depending on your ability and resources. Each visit can be managed differently depending on your resources at the time. Please contact me to learn more.
I also work with another clinic which provides care for all people without regard to ability to pay. If I am unable to care for you in my own private clinic, I can care for you in the other clinic or refer you to them for any care I am unable to provide.
