Somatic Experiencing®
Somatic Experiencing® (SE™), also known as SE, is a therapeutic approach developed by Dr. Peter A. Levine that focuses on the connection between the mind and body to address and heal trauma. The central premise of Somatic Experiencing is based on the understanding that trauma is not only a psychological phenomenon but also a physiological one, with its effects stored in the body.
Somatic Experiencing involves a gentle and mindful exploration of bodily sensations, movements, and patterns to release and resolve the lingering effects of trauma. The practitioner empowers individuals to become more aware of their bodily sensations and guides them in renegotiating and discharging the energy that may be trapped or dysregulated due to traumatic experiences. This approach aims to restore the natural self-regulating capacity of the nervous system and promote a sense of safety and resilience.
Through a combination of verbal dialogue and attention to bodily sensations, Somatic Experiencing seeks to address the physical and emotional aspects of trauma, allowing individuals to integrate and process their experiences more fully. This holistic approach recognizes the interconnectedness of the mind and body in the healing process, providing a framework for individuals to overcome the impacts of trauma and move towards greater well-being.
USUI REIKI
Usui Reiki is a form of alternative therapy that originated in Japan in the early 20th century. It was developed by Mikao Usui, a Japanese Buddhist, as a holistic healing technique. The word "Reiki" is a combination of two Japanese words: "rei," meaning universal, and "ki," which refers to the life force energy that flows through all living beings.
During a typical Usui Reiki session, the practitioner places their hands lightly on or near the recipient's body, focusing on specific energy centers or chakras. In addition, distance Reiki is also an option. The recipient does not need to be in close proximity to the practitioner as we believe we are all connected through this universal life force.
The goal is to balance and harmonize the energy flow within the body, promoting a sense of peace and facilitating the body's natural ability to heal itself. Usui Reiki is often used as a complementary therapy to conventional medical treatments, and it is known for its gentle and non-invasive nature. The practice has gained popularity worldwide and is utilized in various settings, including holistic health centers, spas, and private wellness sessions.

Are you exploring depths beyond traditional talk therapy, seeking a path that aligns more closely with your inner needs?

Change is a journey, and whether you feel fully ready or are just starting to contemplate its possibilities, support can make all the difference.
Rooted in the rich heritage of Mexihcah land, now known as Mexico City, and raised amidst the vibrant cultures of Los Angeles, I am a blend of Indigenous, French, and Spanish influences. My upbringing in dual cultures imbues my practice with a profound understanding of the complexities faced by those navigating multiple worlds. My early involvement in community activism ignited a passion that has led me across various fields, assisting survivors of domestic violence, unhoused individuals, migrants, and military veterans.
My own healing journey began in the profound spaces of Somatic Experiencing at a local treatment center. The method’s ability to address deep-seated trauma resonated with me, transforming my approach to healing. This experience was complemented by the discovery of energy healing, which offered a refreshingly simple yet deeply transformative approach to wellness.
