TAWAS DIAGNOSTICS
Before modern medicine, there were the healers. In the Philippines, the Albularyo — traditional folk healers — used Tawas to see what could not be seen with the naked eye: the spiritual and energetic roots of illness, disturbance, and imbalance. This is one of the oldest diagnostic practices I carry, and one of the most profound.

WHAT IS TAWAS DIAGNOSTICS?
Tawas is an ancient Filipino divination and diagnostic practice with deep roots in the healing traditions of the Philippines. Traditionally practiced by the Albularyo — folk healers in rural communities — Tawas is used to identify the underlying causes of physical, mental, and spiritual disturbances, as well as energetic blockages that conventional medicine cannot detect.
Unlike a medical exam, Tawas operates on a spiritual and energetic level — reading the patterns that form in paper, egg, or wax to reveal what is truly affecting a person. It works where other methods cannot reach.
I use three types of Tawas diagnostics. After we discuss your needs and current state of well-being, I will choose the method — or combination of methods — that is most appropriate for you.
WHAT TO EXPECT IN A TAWAS SESSION
During our session, we’ll discuss your current state of well-being, and I will select the most appropriate method based on your needs.
(PAPER) TAWAS SA PAPEL
Prayers — known as bulong — are whispered over a small, blank piece of paper, which is then crossed over the body or the specific area of concern. Shadows and shapes that appear on the paper provide clues to the root cause of the issue. This is sometimes called a "tawas x-ray".
(EGG) TAWAS SA ITLOG
An egg is cracked into a glass of water. The shapes, textures, and movements that form in the water are read for patterns that reveal the nature of what is affecting you — physically, energetically, or spiritually.
(CANDLE) TAWAS SA KANDILA
Candle wax is slowly dripped into water, and the resulting shapes are interpreted to reveal the type of illness or spiritual influence present. Sometimes images of spirits or dwende (elemental beings) appear in the wax — guiding the understanding of what is at work and what treatment is needed.
