hello I’m rio, a somatic naturotherapist & bioenergetic educator
my path into healing arts began in 2007 via shadow work, delving into taoism, transcendentalism & tolle. in 2009 learning reiki became a catalyst for deep healing. from then on I immersed myself in holistic modalities, studying under diverse teachers to continue my healing journey
in university, I studied religion & philosophy with focus on mysticism & eastern tradition. I began distilling herbs, studying natural medicine & nutrition to heal my digestive issues. in 2011 I began hosting full moon events. for the next decade I worked in music & marketing, dedicating weekends to trainings & travelling to retreats to deepen my practice
in 2018 I began teaching reiki & soon after traveled to peru to become a restorative yoga teacher. it was in cusco I experienced a profound somatic release of decades-old trauma stored in my body. from that moment on, somatic work became my main focus, fascination & pursuit
in 2020 living on lake atitlan I started a podcast interviewing alternative wellness practitioners. here I decided to commit to my holistic practice fulltime, launching my online academy
now with 16 years experience, I help people release blockages & stuck emotion, connect with their subconscious & find alignment on physical, mental, emotional levels. my practice bridges ancient wisdom with modern science to guide you to reconnect with your mind-body
I integrate modalities including:
-somatic therapy, somatic parts work
-hypnosis, neurolinguistic progamming
-eft, tre
-bioenergetics, reflexology, craniosacral, myofascial, reiki
-yin/restorative yoga, nidra
-nutrition, nervous system support
my wholehearted mission is to activate healers & empower women to transform trauma, reclaim their energy & reconnect with intuition. I specialize in highly sensitive & neurodivergent women, & the LGBTQ+ community
through personalized sessions & comprehensive trainings, I offer practical tools for bioenergetic empowerment, nervous system regulation & deep transformation. I offer naturopath insurance receipts
here to guide you to reconnect, realign & reclaim your full power
love,rio
