From the mud, the lotus flower grows and blooms.
Carmen Espinosa
Welcome to this healing space, I’m honored to have you and delighted that you found this space full of curiosity and wonder. I first found the world of somatic healing and spirituality over 20 years ago, through the lens of witchcraft, tarot, altered states of consciousness, and plant medicines while I was an adolescent working through tremendous challenges and embarking on a lifelong journey of self discovery. I have spent so much of my life learning and benefitting from many teachers and healing modalities, from clinical mental health modalities to experiential and holistic approaches. All of which have supported me in my own personal journey as well as moulded my professional work.
Bio
Although I first entered into the world of healing others through becoming a mental health professional and obtaining my Masters in Social Work, I knew that my clinical work would follow more of a holistic and somatic approach. It was through this mindset that I first began offering meditation coaching in 2015, while I was still in graduate school and deeply studying and applying Mindfulness-Based Interventions in clinical settings.
Once I completed my Master’s program, I began my first Yoga Teacher Training, a 200 hour training at Kindness Yoga in Denver, CO in 2018. It was through this YTT where I was first introduced to the practice of Conscious Breathwork, and met my future Breathwork teacher. I then received my 300hr YTT through Kindness Yoga in 2019. Through the pandemic, I began receiving more regular Breathwork sessions from my former classmate from my 200hr YTT, and found the practice to be so profound that I felt called to take a deeper dive into the practice and learn how to bring it into my other somatic healing practices that I could offer. Thus, in early 2022, I began my 300 hour apprenticeship in Conscious Breathwork.
It is now my honor, privilege and commitment to share my gifts and this practice of deep somatic healing with others. I feel the most vitalized and charged when I am holding space and in service of others while they are embarking in their own healing journey. I invite you to explore connecting to your deepest self while I safely guide you through this practice.
