Somatic Trauma RESOLUTION
and Holisitc healing

Welcome to my page and my practice!

I deeply appreciate the intelligence, potency, wisdom, strength, and resilience it takes to embark on this journey towards self-discovery and trauma healing. I believe that our bodies contain all the answers we are longing for, and every time I meet with someone, I feel deeply honored and grateful to witness and support this sacred act of accessing and awakening their inner intelligence in the journey back towards integration and wholeness within themselves, with each other, and with the earth.

Support Services

I offer individual and group support weaving Somatic Experiencing (SE), Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST), Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), Co-Regulating Touch and Parts Work, which can be deep and lasting approaches to the healing of trauma and other chronic stress disorders.

My approach

I have been influenced primarily by my roots and ancestry, my education and training, my healing journey, my mothering journey, and the learnings I have acquired from working with clients and students. I have also been influenced by my life experiences, especially growing up in Chile during the dictatorship for 17 years, and my immigration journey to the USA in my 30s. My approach is body-centered, earth-centered, and ancestry/systems-centered.

I work remotely and in person, offering one-on-one and group support. I sometimes teach yearly immersions and workshops, integrating tools and frames specially from: Somatic Experiencing, Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy and Polyvagal Theory. I have been carefully, over the years, gathering approaches proven to be deeply effective in working with all types and levels of trauma, including post-traumatic stress, chronic pain, autoimmune diseases, pre/perinatal and developmental trauma, complex trauma, transgenerational trauma, and systemic trauma.

I also draw deep wisdom from many other sources, but principally from my ancestral roots in South America, Spain, and Eastern European folk wisdom.

Testimonials

Magdalena is such a gifted somatic practitioner! Her extensive knowledge of somatic techniques has been invaluable in helping to support my sensitive nervous system in the process of allowing more regulation. Her insights have contributed to me feeling more presence, connection and safety in my body. I have especially appreciated the validation and understanding she brings to addressing the somatic impact of intergenerational and racial trauma—along with both the unconscious and conscious ways these experiences impact our bodies. I am truly grateful for Magdalena's compassion and attunement and see her as a partner in my journey towards greater embodiment.

I went to Magdalena for somatic experiencing and help with past and present trauma. I not only learned so much from her about nervous system healing, trauma resolution, and parts of myself that had previously been hidden, but I’ve made big, tangible shifts in a short amount of time.

I’m also a somatic experiencing practitioner, and so I really appreciate the nuance and wisdom she brings to this work. Magdalena has a multi-dimensional grasp of trauma healing that is unlike any other practitioner I’ve known. I love her style, her sense of curiosity, and the dynamic creativity she brings to our sessions.

She is a gifted healer, clearly meant to be doing this work, and I’m incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to work with her.
