About Me

Welcome! I was born and raised in the prairies on treaty 7 territory. My parents are from Chile and I have mixed ancestry that includes the Indigenous of Chile, Mapuche and European, I identify as Mestiza. My life has been a long journey of healing traumatic wounds and self-discovery through indigenous holistic healing practices, ceremony and western therapeutic approaches, the combination of these worlds have helped me immeasurably. The years of doing trauma healing on myself, while academically studying and training in it made me realize that we are not alone in our struggles and there is a way through all the pain we hold and experience. My goal as a helper in this field is to support other trauma survivors in developing coping tools, build awareness and to feel a sense of relief. My therapeutic approach reflects my own personal healing journey, this includes the integration of indigenous teachings passed onto me by my loved ones, mentors and Elders, while also incorporating western approaches I have studied to aid in the process of learning, understanding and healing traumatic wounds within us. Healing is an alive and sacred process, it is a way of reclaiming parts of ourselves we feel we have forgotten or lost. I currently live and work in Nuu-Chah-Nulth territory. I would like to share my deepest gratitude for sharing your traditional territory with me, ƛleekoo ƛleekoo.
