Jutheanne Cruz (Dayang Alab Sikat) was born and raised in the Philippines. Her maternal lineage is from Iloilo in the Visayas region and her paternal lineage is from San Gabriel La Union in the North of the Philippines. Her mother was 16 when she was born. Most of the time she was left with her grandmother as her mom continued to go to school. She spent most of the time on her own writing on her journal, drawing things, playing in the garden or just doing anything creative to amuse herself.
Jutheanne used to get sick a lot and her mom would often have traditional Filipino healers at home to help her get better. Often, they say because of her “openness”, there are many entities following her around. As a little girl, she loved being held by her grandmother and waking up next to her with the smell of herbal oil. The “Manghihilot” would show her how to make an area of the body feel better through touch. She probably developed her gift through her hands as she grew up. While working as a make-up artist in London for ten years, she shared her love for touch and art with others. Her clients would always say how much they feel a lot calmer when she has touched them. Her spiritual awakening led her to open Hilot Hands just before COVID hit the UK. She worked with women who were going through tough life experiences and helped them regain their inner balance. Her grandmother sadly passed in 2014. Although she was unable to see her for the last time, Jutheanne can feel her presence whenever she holds and nurtures anyone or smells the herbal oil her grandmother used to use regularly. This feels like home to her. Through Hilot – Filipino Indigenous Medicine – Jutheanne dedicates her life to helping other women find their way back home.
