Somatic Trauma RESOLUTION
and Holisitc healing
I support adults and babies in reconnecting with greater embodiment, freedom, and wholeness. Through Craniosacral Touch (live or remote), Trauma Resolution (SE), and listening therapies (SSP and RRP), I work with the body and nervous system to help restore safety, agency, connection, ease, and the body’s inherent health.

Support Services
I offer individual and group support weaving Somatic Experiencing (SE), Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST), Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP), Rest and Restore Protocol (RRP), Co-Regulating Touch and Parts Work, which offer pathways toward greater regulation, coherence, and wholeness across personal, ancestral and systemic levels.
My approach
I am Magdalena, a somatic therapist and bodyworker. I work with adults and babies, supporting their return to inherent health, balance, regulation, and well-being through a body-centered, earth-centered, and ancestry- and systems-informed lens. In my work, I consider the whole person across these layers to help uncover pathways back to regulation, coherence, and a deeper sense of self.
I work both in person and remotely, offering one-on-one and group support. Over the years, I have gathered approaches that can be deeply effective in working with many kinds of trauma and loss of embodiment and essential self, including post-traumatic stress, chronic pain, autoimmune issues, pre- and perinatal trauma, birth trauma, developmental trauma, complex trauma, family systems trauma, transgenerational trauma, and systemic trauma.
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.

My influences
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 dictatorship for 17 years, and my immigration journey to the USA in my 30s.
I also draw deep wisdom from many teachers and lineages, and also from my ancestral roots in South American, Spanish, and Eastern European and Middle East folk wisdom.
