What grounds my practice

My offerings are open to everyone and they are specifically intended to support people of color (poc), queer and trans poc, undocumented youth, undocuqueer, gang impacted/gang affiliated youth, social justice collectives, and community spaces. Every interaction is unique and no one necessarily leaves the space "healed." People that experience my practice often become inspired to begin a healing process, continue a healing journey already in progress, or take a new direction in that journey by gaining new insights of the self. I am the channel, the facilitator of the journey not the one necesarily doing the healing. I also like to complicate the term "healing" by recognizing how abelist it can be to assume that everyone can or wants to heal or that healing is an ending point of any process. I hold space for people to be with themselves and define what an internal transformation process can be for them. My healing and wellness practice supports people's journeys back to themselves. 

~ Healing is cyclical always in transition and always in motion ~

Limpias (Cleansings with Herbs)
Limpias are an ancient healing ceremony of cleansing the body with herbs. Berenice has learned how to do limpias through traditional mexican curanderismo practices.  In different countries, people also use eggs, lemons, potatoes, and other sacred medicines during the ceremonies. Berenice is focused on learning from the plants and occasionally uses eggs. These ceremonies support people in getting as close as possible to the root of imbalances that are impacting their health and wellbeing. Limpias are also useful when experiencing shock, trauma, or really intense experiences. Limpias can benefit those going through life transitions or when you need support grounding and refocusing. 

Reiki
Reiki is an ancient form of energy healing that originated in Japan. It is intended to benefit the body in many magical ways. Reiki specifically eases pain and can also re-balance the body's energy fields, chakras, and diffuses low frequency vibrations that no longer serve the body, mind, spirit. Its vibration is powerful and gentle. When Berenice was at a ceremonia in Mexico, some abuelas told her about the practice of using sacred geometry in healing ceremonies. Berenice learned that it was no coincidence that Reiki came to her because Mexico also used energy and symbols to heal and cure different imbalances in the body. She was lucky to receive some of those teachings and now incorporates that knowledge in her sessions.  

Massage
Berenice learned how to massage from her mother who suffered from arthritis and severe muscle pain throughout her life. When her mom would get home from work, she would guide Berenice on how to massage her pain away. Berenice incorporates massage as another tool to help people release tension in the body. Berenice's teachers are her mom and the bodies of the people she interacts with. 

Consultas
Consultas are for people that have individual questions about resources, herbal remedies or need guidance but may not necessarily want any type of bodywork. People have set up private appointments to just talk about stuff that is happening in their lives and asking for guidance on next steps. Other people set up consultas to learn more about Berenice's work or to get to know her better.
