Grateful for each session, each client, each person that has allowed us to be part of their story…a part of their journey towards healing.

This shows only a glimpse of all the work that as a practice we do. (I wish we had one for the entire practice!)

In 2025, we’ve had over 150 clients who have entrusted us with their story, allowed us to explore with them, dig deeper, wonder, be curious, look at things from a different lens…the list goes on.

In 2025 we expanded to more in person sessions with 2 locations: Pasadena and Ventura.

While this shows a glimpse of the work, I want to express my sincerest gratitude to each person on the team - those currently present and those that have moved on - each one of you have single handedly made a difference in our clients life.

To our clients, THANK YOU. Thank you for being vulnerable and “going with that.” 😉

With endless love & light,
Patricia

💬The Messages We Are Sent Can Shape Our Lives 💬

Generational Trauma is the passing down of emotional and physical burdens, often from unhealed wounds like war, violence, or disaster. The cycle often begins with a story that isn’t ours. A pain that wasn’t processed.

But the cycle ends with awareness. Breaking free starts by acknowledging the pain and learning new ways to cope and heal.

Ready to break the cycle? Swipe through to learn more.
