Advanced Level

Reiki Practitioner Level II

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.

At Corazón Somatic Care, we embrace the wisdom of our ancestors, the insights of our lived experiences, and the cultural richness of our communities to offer a holistic therapeutic approach. Our sessions are tailored to meet you where you are on your healing path, helping to unlock new levels of personal growth and connection.

As your guide, I commit to navigating the complex, the silent, and the yet-to-be-discovered terrains of your experiences. Our work together will be a journey of uncovering, understanding, and ultimately moving beyond the barriers that hold you back, in a space where your true self is always welcome.

Let's honor your pace and readiness as we embark on this transformative journey together. Schedule a free, private consultation and start on your path to heart-centered, holistic healing today.

How Do I support Your journey?

  • Somatic Experiencing® (SE™) is a therapeutic approach developed by Dr. Peter A. Levine. It focuses on the deep connection between the mind and body to help individuals release stored stress and restore balance. SE recognizes that life’s challenges and overwhelming experiences can leave a lasting impact on the body, influencing both physical and emotional well-being.

    Key Elements of Somatic Experiencing:

    • Body-Mind Connection

    • Gentle Exploration

    • Empowerment

    • Nervous System Regulation

    • Holistic Healing

    This approach provides a way to navigate life’s challenges with greater ease, helping individuals reconnect with their natural capacity for balance and well-being.

  • 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.

It starts with…

A Conversation

radical acceptance

We can’t change what has happened.

Together we acknowledge reality as it is, without fighting against it, even if it's uncomfortable or challenging.

It’s not about liking or approving of the events or situation, but about acknowledging it fully to reduce suffering and move forward.

By accepting reality, we free up emotional energy and mental space, allowing us focus on what can be done in the present.

RAdical candor

Where do we go from here?

By combining genuine care with candorous feedback. Empowering you to be comfortable with the uncomfortable.

Together we create a supportive environment where you feel valued and understood. This approach helps build trust and encourages open and honest dialogue between us.
