Hello + Welcome!
My name is Carmen, and I am genuinely so happy you are here.
I am a Woman, devoted wife, friend, cook, gardener, and forever student. I have a deep curiosity of learning, particularly about the female body, human relationships, nutrition and our soil health. I am fiercely devoted to the unfolding of my inner most nature, and that of others. I have found the deepest, most lasting healing in being with and in dedication to the mundane of my everyday life.
My path toward coming home to my body, my gifts and my authentic self has been a long, winding and often very confronting + challenging journey, with elements of course still in process. But through this journey, I have garnered rich experience, wisdom and profound transformation of which I have deep gratitude for and am called to bring forth in service to the world. I have both worked extremely hard and been brought to my knees in deep surrender to organically reach a point in my life where my work and services flows from an overflowing cup. I am forever committed to living life from this place.
I believe in the importance of a multidimensional approach to healing and nourishment that truly looks at and receives the individual in front of me. While I lead here with mineral balancing, my services are truly a unique blend that also include nutrition, lifestyle support, psychospiritual + somatic experiencing, womb work, nervous system regulation, healthy boundaries, ancestral healing, pre and perinatal psychology, trauma resolution, embodiment, relationship, orienting to and receiving pleasure, bodywork + movement centered on the physiology of the female body, and more. I believe that healing is an inside job, but also often is most successful with additional resource in relationship with others. I seek to be in this inquiry together with loving and attuned support, collaboration and partnership. I believe the body is wise and constantly calling us home.
It is my wish for woman to feel embodied, whole and vital. I believe one of the ways God has called me to be of use is in devotion to women in all stages of their journey, and the families they have birthed or are still calling in.
Centering MOTHER. It is my intention to support women + families on their path to radiant, life giving health that allows us to LIVE the way we want to and to thus help CREATE the culture we want to exist in. This is what inspires me, and truly makes my heart sing!
