Hilot with Kai

Offerings

Tawas Divination - Virtual Only ($90-150 Sl

1 hr 30 mins··$90

In this 90 minute Virtual Zoom session, we will create space for Tawas ritual, which is a form of both divination and cleansing practiced by traditional Filipino healers. A confirmation email with a zoom link and instructions for payment will be emailed to you within 24-36hrs after scheduling your appointment thru SetMore.

During our session you may come with specific situations or questions (1-2) or simply seek a general reading. We will discuss your situation for 10-15 minutes at the start of the call and then proceed to Tawas, which can use a variety of materials such as candles, paper, oil, eggs, and/or water that undergo somekind of elemental reaction (burning, mixing, melting, etc). The type will be chosen intuitively by me prior to our session. Because Tawas relies heavily on symbology, intuition, and context, we will communally interpret the results of the divination in a way that draws from both of our pools of wisdom/understanding. After Tawas I will recommend a ritual intended for integration of these healing lessons into your life. A recording and pictures of your Tawas will be shared in a google drive for 1 week so that you may download your info.

Consultation - Virtual ($125-200 sliding scale)

1 hr 30 mins··$125

These Virtual Zoom consults are for those who would like to speak with me to gather advice, life experiences, and resources to help guide their own work. This consult will be held in a decolonial framework, offering both resources and perspectives to align with values of integrity and justice. A personal confirmation email with a zoom link and instructions for payment will be emailed to you by me within 24hrs after scheduling your appointment thru SetMore.

In this 80 minute session we will discuss the work you do and what you are looking for guidance in. Examples of consultations I have done with people: 1) Integrating herbal medicine and historical food knowledge into a catering business concept, 2) Connecting Filipinos in the diaspora to learning and community resources in the Philippines (agriculture, spirituality, healing practices, activism, etc.), 3) Providing guidance for decolonizing the garden education curriculum at an Oakland, CA high school. This is just an example, but gives a sense of who I am able to support. Our conversation is open ended and leaves space for personal stories and exchange of wisdom that will support your tangible work. Our session will always result in a list of resources and suggested next steps to work on your intentions. Following our consult, you will receive a recording as well as the list of resources that were discussed during our call.

Full Hilot Ritual - In Person NYC ($220-400 Sliding Scale)

3 hrs··$220

3 hour in person home-visit session (NYC area only) including Tawas divination (read more info in Tawas "services"), herbal formulas, massage, plant based body therapies, and ritual suggestions. Although all sessions will incorporate Tawas in the beginning & bodywork in the second half, the modalities used during bodywork will depend largely on the particular issues that arise for healing during diagnostic rituals (tawas). These sessions are intended for folks who wish to work on deeper levels of healing physical, emotional, spiritual blockages.

Participants leave with ritual suggestions and potential herbal & dietary guidance. I will email you within 24-36hrs after scheduling your appointment thru SetMore to set up payment along with the logistics for your at home Hilot ritual. Sessions are available only in your home and must be located locally within NYC.

Hilot Pamasahe - In Person NYC ($130-200 sliding scale)

1 hr 40 mins··$130

1.5 hour in person (NYC area only), home visit session including Filipino body therapies such as massage, plant based healing (herbal compresses or leaf scanning), cupping, and energetic sweeping. This service is only available to people who have received a Full Hilot ritual with me (within the last 3 months) -or- a Virtual Tawas session (within the last 30 days). This is required as my offerings are tailored specifically to your needs-- these needs and their root causes cannot be defined adequately without the proper traditional procedures of divination, diagnostics, and verbal consultations.

Appointments can only take place in your home. I will email you within 24-36hrs after scheduling your appointment thru SetMore to set up payment along with the logistics for your at home Hilot ritual.

About

Kai Delgado Pfeifer is a Filipinx American healer and artist using Filipinx ancestral medicine and spirituality as mediums for liberation. They are a student of Hilot and Buddhism, serving community thru herbalism, food medicine, ancestral healing, meditation, and political activism.

Hilot is a holistic healing art that considers the physical, emotional, spiritual, social, and environmental aspects of the individual and their community. The word "hilot" comes from the Tagalog dialect and means "massage-rubbing" or "touch with soothing strokes". Hilot techniques vary by practitioner, but all sessions will begin with diagnosis & consultation with Ancestors through divination and other diagnostic procedures. Revelant therapies thereafter may include herbal formulas, steam healing, cupping, foot reflexology, & massage (applying pressure, gentle massage strokes, creating heat, and gently pinching).
