Death and Grief Guide. Full spectrum doula. Director of Yoga Teacher Trainings & Retreats
Womb Healing. Queer, trans, GNC and non binary affirming in everything I offer. LA LUPA VIA translates in an italian-Latin translation as, 'The Wolf Way". I am of Italian-European heritage and grew up with a potent and mystical affinity to both the Italian Wolf Goddess, Feronia-queen of the wilderness, wildlife, untamed nature who is known for her liberating nature, fertility, a protector of wolves and Lucina-goddess of wild things, protector of childbirth and of all vulnerable beings(animal or human), a guide though life's transitions. In addition to Feronia and Lucina, I have an ancient soul connection to La Loba. This story told by Clarissa Pinkola Este, originates from the deserts and mountains of Northern Mexico, about a wolf-woman-bone collector, who resurrects the wild spirit of life from the depths of the underworld. At the heart and soul of my offerings is the spirit of wolves and these Goddesses: the energy of midwifing spaces of rebirth, soul reclamation, soul restoration and life liberation. I midwife/doula sacred and inclusive spaces for returning to our wild instincts,reverencing our dark and light as whole, restoring and resacrailzing our lives and energy.

BREATH WORK AND BODY WORK SESSIONS

Monday-Wednesdays-Thursdays

Breath Work & Body Work Sessions

My sessions offer a deeply attuned space where breath, body, and relationship converge for healing. Each experience is shaped by your unique nervous system, your emotional landscape, and your body’s innate intelligence.
We collaborate together in session and meet each moment with curiosity, reverence and consent.

The Power of Relational Healing

Relational healing recognizes that much of our wounding happened in relationship, and so too must the healing. This work gently explores relational ruptures, old and new, offering space for recognition and re-patterning. Together, we invite in new experiences of safety, trust, and connection—experiences that can ripple out into your life, relationships, and sense of self.

WHY GRIEVE IN COMMUNITY????

As grief teachers like Francis Weller and Martín Prechtel remind us, grief was never meant to be carried alone. In many traditional and indigenous cultures, grief is not a private burden but a communal responsibility—something that is sung, danced, and witnessed together.
Weller speaks of grief as a vital nutrient for the soul, necessary for our full aliveness. But in a culture that pathologizes sorrow and exiles our pain, we are left to grieve in isolation—disconnected from the rituals and relationships that help metabolize loss. He reminds us that we need ritual containers, held by community, where grief can be expressed freely, without judgment or fixing. These sacred spaces give us permission to feel the full weight of our sorrow—and in doing so, they allow healing to begin.

Martín Prechtel echoes this truth when he says that grief is praise, because it arises from deep love. He teaches that when grief is not expressed, it turns to a kind of soul sickness—where life loses its flavor and we become estranged from our roots. In his words, unexpressed grief is “like a stagnant pond”—and it must be moved, witnessed, and sung out loud to be transformed. Ritual, song, and communal expression allow grief to move through the body and back into the earth.

In this way, communal grieving is not just healing for the individual—it is medicine for the collective.

When we gather to grieve, we remember that our sorrow is not a sign of weakness, but of humanity. We bear witness to each other’s pain, and in doing so, we stitch back the torn fabric of belonging. Our tears become offerings. Our songs become prayers. And slowly, we make space for joy to return—not in spite of the grief, but because we’ve made room for it.
