  • Founder

    Holistic Health Advocate, SPOON LIVE Founder

    After graduating from TRIUM, a Global EMBA program that ranked 2nd in the world by Financial Times, Malissa planned to start an online, luxury fashion boutique. She got very ill and put the project on hold. She went to several doctors in Paris, London, NY, and the Mayo Clinic in AZ but her health only worsened. Finally, after 3 years she healed herself with nutrition and detox protocols.

    This experience inspired her to start a nonprofit organization in Phoenix, AZ and in Paris, France where she lived for 17 years. Since she was given back the name of the magazine she co-founded called SPOON, she decided to used it. Eating living food such as sprouts and microgreens are amongst the most nutrient dense foods. Eating “live”, raw organic, and plant-based foods provides the highest “life force energy” thus making name SPOON LIVE a vibrant choice!

    Malissa completed 360 online education hours at the world-renowned Health & Wellness Institute Hippocrates. Upon completing the coursework, she went to Florida for 3 weeks to learn more and experience the program in person. She now enjoys educating others on how to feel, be and create better.

  • Intuitive Healer & Holistic Wellness Professional
    Longevity Raw Living Food Chef & Metaphysical Lifestyle Medicine Coach

    Yvonne has been sharing her talents as a holistic wellness professional, or Sobadora in Spanish, since 1994. A proud Latina, Native American, and native of Tucson, AZ, she has been a trailblazer in curanderismo—the profound practice of healing. 

    Fun Fact

    In traditional Mexican healing, the term Sobadora describes a healer who uses intuitive touch and energy to bring balance to the body. The root word of curandera—curar—means "to heal." Yvonne proudly carries on this tradition, blending ancient healing techniques with modern knowledge in each of her treatments.

    Yvonne’s gift for channeling healing energy, or prana, from its spiritual source to someone requesting it is known as spiritual healing. The healing energy flows through the healer from a higher source—Universal Consciousness, Infinite Universal Energy Source, or God—and not directly from the healer. Methods of healing can include spiritual mind healing, absent healing, passing over of the hands, and more. 


    Yvonne studied Plant-Based Nutrition and Wellness at the Hippocrates Health Institute, where she deepened her understanding of the body’s ability to heal through living foods, detoxification, and holistic lifestyle practices. Through her work, she inspires others to tap into their own inner strength, fostering a transformative path toward holistic wellness and empowered living.
