“I was looking for a program that could guide me with integrating connection to my body because I tend to be in my headspace more than I like. Maricela allowed me to understand that YES!,  it’s important to learn supportive body integration teachings, but it’s also okay to just slow down and be with the current feeling and emotion. This has been a constant work in progress for me because I have been one to only talk about my feelings instead of feeling them. I recognized through her coaching that I am always trying to find answers, causes, resolutions, instead of pausing to feel my body or hear my body's most wise words. I learned that my intuition has always been there and it’s freaking magic when I stop, breath, and listen. I also had deep appreciation for Marisela’s openness to spirituality, and understanding of energy work. This allowed me to feel received, supported, and understood. I appreciated the room to speak Spanglish and to be my fullest self when speaking. Marisela felt like a warm cup of manzanilla (chamomile) that soothes all the nerves, never there to “fix” me or take anything away but to lead me to awareness, and help me re-pot my roots into much more nourishing tierrita (dirt). ”

“Marisela’s coaching program is pure curandera magic. This was the first time I experienced coaching in a gentle, assertive & free manner. Marisela put all of herself into the sessions and thus gave permission for all of me to show up unapologetically. I learned to embrace the scars and pieces as part of my experience and journey. I am more in tuned with what I need and have the tools to access this self knowing. I really know what “listen to your body” really means now and couldn’t have known it truly had I not been a part of this journey.”

“Before starting the somatic coaching program, I felt constantly out of sync. My head and body seemed to be speaking different languages. Marisela's program was a true turning point.  Through gentle exercises and guided meditations, I learned to listen to the subtle cues my body was sending me.  Tension in my shoulders? Time for a break. A tightness in my chest? Maybe a past emotional wound was surfacing. I began to understand the language of my body and how to respond with care.

The program also delved into inner child work.  We explored the roots of emotional patterns. Facing those parts of myself with compassion allowed me to offer myself more compassion. A space opened up for more joy.

Now, I'm much more in tune with my intuition.  It's like a gentle nudge guiding me towards choices that feel aligned with my true self.  This program helped me reclaim the flow that had always been within me, but I had not let it in during this season of my life.”

“If you're searching for a therapist who can guide you towards not just understanding your thoughts but also deeply connecting with your body, I cannot recommend this psychotherapy practice highly enough. Through my own experience, I've found a level of body awareness and understanding that I never knew was possible. The somatic practices introduced to me have been life-changing, enabling me to navigate my anxiety with a profound sense of control and self-compassion. Marisela has a remarkable ability to create a space that feels both safe and empowering, allowing for exploration and growth at a pace that respects your individual needs. If you're feeling stuck, especially in ways that seem to manifest physically, you'll find a compassionate guide here. You'll learn to trust the wisdom of your body, recognize its signals, and respond to its needs in healthy, nurturing ways. Embarking on this therapeutic journey was one of the best decisions I've made for my mental and physical health. So, to my best friend or to anyone seeking a transformative therapeutic experience, I wholeheartedly believe that you would be in excellent hands here.”

“Psychotherapy is the greatest act of love to offer yourself. Psychotherapy creates a safe space to see yourself clearly, and from that point of clarity, find your voice, and take action toward the life you want to create for yourself. Before I used to think that the source of my suffering was external, but psychotherapy helped me take full responsibility for my life and now I am seeing the fruits from believing in myself, and my ability to experience the world from a place that feels authentic and peaceful.”
