Welcome
I am a licensed Ceremonial Space Holder and Spiritual Coach with academic expertise in Family Systemic Constellations and MA in Transpersonal Psychology. As co-founder of La Ballena Nómada Retreat Centre in Mexico, I love exploring different healing modalities to provide the best holistic care and support my clients' diverse journeys of personal and spiritual growth. I facilitate dynamic meditation, art therapy, tantric sessions and creative workshops. I hold art exhibitions as a photographer and give public talks as a parental alienation survivor/expert. I continue to explore uncharted territory as an anthropologist of the subconscious. And I welcome anyone to join me on this journey.
For the last ten years I've travelled the world from West to East, exploring healing practices, meeting extraordinary people, discovering my spiritual animal - the whale, incorporating nature and psychedelic experiences, and writing my books.
In ancient Rome, Vesta was the goddess of fire and the guardian of the sacred temple hearth. At one point in my life I took this spiritual name as my official name, which says a lot about my roots to this archetype.

Many people feel more comfortable and open when they are moving and immersed in nature. And I get it! Walking-talking therapy sessions could be a unique and effective way for individuals to address their issues and work through their emotions in a comfortable and relaxed environment.

In my sessions, we work to dismantle false conditioning and fear-based belief systems about sexuality and intimacy. As we reclaim our bodies and our eroticism, we are able to shift our perspective of ourselves and our sexuality to a place of unconditional love and curiosity. True transformation comes when we let go of judgment and step into vulnerability. If you'd like to work with me, please come with an open mind and a willingness to honor the fullness of human nature.

Family Constellations
Family constellation therapy is a short-term group (or individual) intervention that helps client discover and address patterns and conflicts within their family groups. It helps to indicate the various dynamics within the family and to map out relationships and uncover patterns. Family Constellation Therapy is usually done in a group setting. But can be done individually. Individual family constellations can include drawing, painting, or using objects to represent family members. The therapist can point out their own observations and will encourage the client to look for patterns and relationships that the client had not previously considered.
Exploration of these patterns can make the client aware of connections between themselves and various members of their family as well as transgenetational trauma and patterns related to survival mechanisms and relationships within the family system.

FAQ
Healing is a sacred journey toward wholeness and self-discovery. As Rumi expresses, “The wound is the place where the light enters you,” reminding us that our vulnerabilities often become gateways to growth. Healing involves reconnecting to our divinity, which protects us from manipulation and fosters clarity and resilience.
Moreover, healing one individual can catalyze healing for an entire ancestral lineage, honoring the interconnectedness of our experiences. It is essential to recognize that a healer’s role is to hold space, allowing individuals to awaken their inner healer and take ownership of their healing journey.
An important aspect of this process is embodiment—fully inhabiting our experiences and emotions. This practice not only deepens self-awareness but also integrates healing into our physical and emotional being. Ultimately, healing is about embracing our wounds, reconnecting with our essence, and embodying our true selves for profound transformation.

I get this question quite often. Let's get real here. We all have wounds, be they the wounds of an infant, the trauma of an estranged parent, transgenerational trauma or the pain of betrayal. On a deeper level, each of us also carries the sacred trauma of being abandoned by the Source. The great Sufi poet Rumi said, "The wound is the place where the light enters you".
"None of us has escaped the dislocation of our personality," said the founder of Gestalt psychology. Many of us have survived abusive dynamics and are familiar with being silenced and disbelieved. Many of us are becoming aware of ancestral and cultural traumas. Many of us are witnesses to systems of domination and denial. We grew up under adult supremacy and were taught to internalize authority at a very young age. So how do we turn the inevitable dislocation of our personalities and the fragments of our souls caused by these traumas into our strength and solidarity?
We all have traumas, but we are rarely aware of them. Why is that?
Our personal psyche has an infant part that wants to suppress and defend itself from anything unbearable. It wants to avoid it, shut it away and pretend it doesn't exist. How do I know if I have a trauma?
What if I don't have one? - I get this question quite often.
My answer will surprise you. None of us has avoided ...
We all have traumas, but we are rarely aware of them. Why is that?
Our personal psyche has an infant part that wants to suppress and defend itself from anything unbearable. Our collective psyche / consciousness works in exactly the same way. Our collective infant part does not want to heal! It doesn't want to reflect on the mistakes and bad choices and it doesn't want to integrate the terrible experiences of the past. It wants to avoid it, shut it away and pretend it doesn't exist.

On a deeper level, each of us also carries the sacred trauma of being abandoned by the Source. The great Sufi poet Rumi said, "The wound is the place where the light enters you".
And even those who aren't directly involved in traumatic events such as wars, whale killing, deforestation - have a witness trauma, we all do! Because we're all witnesses to the global crisis. It is like a hurricane passing through us!
What does that mean? It means that as a species we remain, and especially want to remain, in an infantile position.
Therefore our healing is our duty.
Self-regulation and trauma healing is not only crime prevention, it is the only way to care for the future, planet, humanity.
Physiologically, just being able to put a difficult feeling into words, as well as having another person recognise our feelings, activates our limbic system and "insight" occurs.
So you are most likely not seeing your trauma from the point of numbness and self-alienation. That is why i beliebe that our healing is our duty.
