somatic therapy & community for women of color
compassionate & empowering mental health support
somatic care & community.
a soft place to land and take off the armor.
Welcome to Planting Seeds Somatic Therapy, a virtual office offering somatic therapy, women empowerment groups, education & mentorship. A space for the helpers to be held, heard & supported.
My intention is to empower you as you grow a life that feels like yours, that honors you and your path- and in doing so, you also honor your community, ancestors, and little you.
The space I hold empowers you to thrive. Together through heart-to-heart conversations and connection, we cultivate a space grounded in love… love for yourself, your family, and your community.
I help you connect with you, with your heart, body, intuition, and power.
I work with teachers, social workers, helpers, artists, writers, and caregivers, the brave hearts and passionate souls who have chosen the path of healing, not just for themselves, but for the collective.
In all the space I hold, the goal is never to fix or change you…It is to give you space and help you grow & thrive. I work from a decolonial lens rooted in ancestral wisdom and community.
With Ancestral LOVE,
dariela <3
Meet Dariela Vasquez, LCSW
First-Gen Latina Somatic Psychotherapist & Educator
Hi there, and welcome to my virtual office!
I am a first-generation Dominican woman, sister, daughter, friend, cousin, niece, community member & therapist.
The space I hold is rooted in love…. in ancestral love… the love that sees you for who you are and doesn’t judge… the love that understands that life gets hard and that many things happen beyond our control.
If you are interested in learning more about my approach to this work as a client or if you are a mental health professional yourself, I invite you to reach out. I love people, and I’d love to connect.
I am here to serve.

heart to heart, our monthly women’s empowerment circle
Heart to Heart is a monthly, open, virtual empowerment group for helpers.
This is a non-clinical group, a space where you are welcomed as you are.
This space is for teachers, social workers, creatives, artists, writers, and caregivers. The brave hearts and passionate souls who have chosen the path of healing, not just for themselves, but for the collective.
Each group will begin with intention setting and a somatic practice to drop us into our hearts.
This is a space to be in community, to be witnessed, and also to witness others on their own journey.
Each group will give space for group members to participate as they feel called to. This is a body-honoring space where we move at the speed of safety and come together to strengthen our hearts.
Heart to Heart meets every third Thursday of the month at 6 pm EST on Zoom.
The group runs for 90 minutes.
See below to register.
If you have any questions regarding whether this group is a good fit, schedule a phone consultation below.
coming soon <3……..
