"Gloria Merino came to the Salinas Valley from the Mixteca region of Oaxaca, where she’d learned how to help women deliver babies.
'My cousin was a curandero [a practitioner of traditional medicine] and he taught me how to heal,' Merino recalls. 'The Virgin, God and San Marcos all told me that I would heal people and make a living that way, so I learned to help deliver babies.'”
