Body Centered Mental Health

You are worthy of feeling at home in your body.

In all sessions, we center the experiences of your body; we practice honoring all parts of the self while we hold & create space for :the different parts of you to come into the space. It is you & I sitting around the campfire with all the other parts of you in a circle- we listen, give them space to express themselves, feel together, grieve, and practice compassion. These sessions are rituals and ceremonies- sacred spaces to drop the armor and be held as you are.

I integrate my clinical training with ancestral practices and wisdom. This includes integrating Jungian Psychoanalytic, Curanderismo, Internal Family Systems, and Somatic exercises in the spaces I hold.

All the spaces that I hold & offer are body and heart-centered.

This means that we center the experiences of the body as we process and hold space for all parts of you. We tune into the body, practice somatic check-ins, and honor the experiences of the body. Heart-centered spaces honor grief, change, loss, and transitions. The human experience invites us on a journey of neverending change; the sessions I hold to honor the heart space and the losses we have experienced.

I specialize in the following:

Heart centered: Grief and loss

Grief is love; to grieve is to love- to continue experiencing love. When we hold space for grief, we honor our whole selves and give ourselves a clear vision of who we are, who we once were, and the love within us- the love we are. The space I hold includes the transition mof a loved one, grieving childhood losses, grieving what could have been, honoring ancestral wounds, processing and honoring the losses in our lives that deserve care, tuning into our cyclical nature, and naming the losses that we experience as a result of our becoming. In addition, I support and guide you as we honor collective grief and will teach you ways to honor your emotional experiences.

Rooted in ancestral wisdom: Intergeneration trauma & childhood trauma

This includes looking back and journeying back with the intention to heal, honor, and learn from the past. Together, we explore the stories and patterns within your lineage and how that resulted in the experiences you had as a child, your early relationships, and the beliefs you hold about yourself. We uncover the sacred wisdom from the past- and support you as you integrate that wisdom into the body. We will honor the body, I support and guide you as you integrate this wisdom into the body and heart.

Body Centered

All the services I provide are body-centered. We live in our bodies, and our bodies naturally react to what has happened to us. The space I hold is for those who have experienced trauma within/towards the body, violence towards the body, sexual trauma, and harm towards the body. For those who do not feel at home within the body, body-centered care supports you in coming home to yourself and your body. You are worthy of feeling at home in your body.

Womb health & cyclical living

I teach and guide those I serve to honor their cyclical nature by celebrating and honoring their menstrual cycles. Systems mirror systems; when we intentionally support and regulate a system—the hormonal system—in this instance, we support our overall well-being and the WHOLE self. We learn how to tune into the body- honor and support the body. As a result, we then feel more supported, validated, and connected to ourselves. In addition, our bodies hold wisdom; our cycles hold wisdom-when we tune into nature, we live in ways that serve our processes and whole selves. We live in a society that goes against the earth's natural and our own cycles. When we tune in and learn how to live our lives according to our cycles, we support ourselves and grow ourselves.

I am rooted in ancestral wisdom and work from an anti-oppression analysis. As a woman of color, my experiences have shaped how I hold space and serve.
