-
A: For in-person sessions, wear comfortable clothing and bring anything that helps you feel grounded. For virtual sessions, I recommend being in a quiet, private space where you feel safe and undisturbed. You might want to have water, a journal, or a blanket nearby. Most importantly, bring an open heart and a willingness to explore. I’ll guide the rest.

A: Somatic healing is a body-centered approach that helps release trauma and stress stored in the body. It involves reconnecting with physical sensations, regulating the nervous system, and fostering a sense of safety and embodiment.
-
A: While talk therapy focuses on cognitive processing, somatic healing emphasizes bodily sensations and experiences, facilitating trauma release through the body's innate wisdom.
-
Ecosomatic healing merges body-centered practices with a connection to nature, emphasizing that personal health is linked to environmental well-being. It draws from ancestral wisdom, decolonial views, movement therapies, and ecological mindfulness. This approach helps individuals reconnect to life, fostering a renewed sense of belonging and meaning tied to their surroundings. By integrating bodily intelligence with ecological principles, it heals separations between the spiritual and physical, mind and body, and the self and the greater world.
-
A: Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic technique that uses guided relaxation and focused attention to access the subconscious mind, facilitating healing and personal transformation.
-
A: Each person differs in their ability to be hypnotized. A person’s fears or concerns about hypnosis may interfere with their ability to be hypnotized. I suggest you are 100% ready before booking a hypnotherapy session.
-
A: Past life regression (PLR) is a form of hypnotherapy that explores previous lifetimes to uncover patterns, heal traumas, and gain insights that impact your current life.
You don’t have to fully believe in the concept of reincarnation for the Past Life Regression (PLR) process to be effective in facilitating healing and transformation. The benefits can be experienced regardless of your personal beliefs or perspectives on life after death.
-
A: No refund, as hypnosis is a collaborative process, and not everyone experiences it the same way. Many factors; emotional readiness, mindset, spiritual timing, can affect how deeply you go. I guide and support the process, but all hypnosis is ultimately self-hypnosis. I charge for my time, energy, and presence during our session, not for a guaranteed outcome.
-
A: Life coaching supports you in identifying goals, overcoming obstacles, and making meaningful changes. My approach integrates spiritual and somatic practices to facilitate holistic growth.
-
A: Coaching and psychological therapy both offer support, but they serve different purposes.
Coaching is future-focused and collaborative. It’s designed to help you clarify your goals, break through blocks, and take empowered action toward the life you want to create. In my practice, coaching may weave in spiritual insight, embodiment practices, and somatic awareness to help you reconnect with your inner guidance and move forward from a grounded place.
Psychological therapy (or counseling) provided by a licensed mental health professional supports the healing of mental health conditions, trauma processing, and emotional regulation through clinical tools and diagnostics.
Coaching is not a replacement for therapy. If you're navigating acute trauma, mental illness, or emotional crisis, I strongly encourage working with a licensed therapist. My work complements but does not duplicate clinical care.
-
A: Embodiment coaching helps you reconnect with your body, fostering awareness, presence, and authenticity. It supports emotional regulation and empowers you to live more fully.
-
A: Andean energy healing, rooted in Indigenous Andes cultures like the Quechua and Q’ero, teaches that everything is energy "kawsay" and well-being connects to Earth (Pachamama), the universe, and relationships. This method focuses on the energetic body to clear heavy energy "hucha" and restore balance. Unlike Western perspectives that categorize energy as "bad" or "good," Andean healing views it as heavy or light, promoting harmony with nature.
-
A: No, intuitive readings are not a replacement for therapy or clinical support. They are offered as spiritual guidance to help you reflect, receive insight, and reconnect with your inner knowing. These sessions are not meant to be taken as absolute truth or relied upon for major life decisions. If you are in emotional crisis, navigating trauma, or need support processing intense feelings, I strongly encourage you to seek care from a licensed therapist or mental health professional.
