Popis:	This essay addresses the work of four Latina health activist-healers to show how they challenge the western body/spirit dichotomy from indigenous inspired perspectives that bridge body and spirit, sexuality and spirituality. It discusses some of the ways that Concepcion Saucedo, Luz Alvarez Martinez, Angelina Borbon, and Haydee Rivera Morales forward decolonizing feminist perspectives about sexuality and spirituality through their work as health organization directors, educators, and/or support group leaders. An interview-based analysis, it draws on decolonial feminist methodologies to center these women's voices and interpret their healing work. It concludes with a discussion of the relevance of their health activist-healer work for clinical practice.
