Punong Babaylan: Head shaman

Hilario A. Robis from the Philippines, a ( Babaylan ) shaman. A descendant of his grandmother Veronica Abihay, a respected shamanic healer in the Philippines. Nenet Ocson and Yulysess Derojo of the Vaigalan Babaylan indigenous community in Ilo-Ilo Philippines also initiate him to be a legitimate Babaylan shaman, giving him authority to do shamanic healing into the highest level of practice.

He has been doing shamanic healing arts for 21 years up to the present. He is a professional assisting people in their physical, mental, and spiritual health and wellness journey of change and development—traditional shamanic/holistic Filipino integration of training and healing by massages and herbal medication programs.

He is a teacher and initiator of the next shamans-to-be.

My name is Gloria Sophie van der Eijk. I am happy to introduce myself as one of the team members on Hilario’s crew. My journey into spirituality started when I was a kid. I’ve always been curious about the miraculous ways life expresses itself to me and explores its mystical side through learning about symbolism, fairytales, reading tarot, and listening to stories. I feel deeply inspired by nature and study her healing languages through herbs, flowers, and crystals. As a 9th-generation granddaughter of Gabriela Silang and after my trip to the Philippines (2019), I felt the call to dive more into my Filipino roots. By becoming the first student of Mr. Robis, I’ve been able to root my practice, and I am still learning to embody my style as a certified Mangihilot. In 2020 I became the founder and owner of The Messy Garden Club, where I do foraging walks with and knowledge shares about herbalism and self-healing in the urban city. Now that I am also a part of the Hilot Maharlikan team, I look forward to accompanying you in your healing journey through Hilot massage, sound healing, and space holding. Shine bright! Mabuhay!

Hello everyone!

I am Maine R. Maclaine. I was born in our beloved mother, the Philippines, and grew up in The Netherlands at ten. Since then, I have always wondered about my origin, missing and curious about Filipino culture. My journey to find is searching and finding my people who speak our native dialect and my soul language. It was a sad and painful experience that made me who I am now. I may say that I am like a wounded healer or the “Chiron.” 

After breaking through my healing, rejuvenation, and resurrection, I am ready and enthusiastic to offer you my healing hands. And I am grateful to be with my soul tribe to be able to pass on the light and be part of the HilotMaharlikan family. And to move and to rise as the Babaylan I am meant to be.

I look forward to assisting you to the best  I can with respect, unconditional love, and care of the same quality as a take of myself and my being.
