They understand how complicated and stressful life can be when we find ourselves faced with significant challenges or trauma. Juanita has experience supporting frontline first responders/emergency medical services personnel with complex trauma, individuals with chronic pain and/or disabilities, and transgender individuals seeking to connect with their authentic selves.
As a member of the 2SLGBTQ+ community, Juanita’s life’s journey has been to create peace through the ongoing formation of an authentic sense of self that allows breathing space from social expectations that arise through cultural norms that often shape our lives without being questioned. Juanita believes that many of us who begin our healing practices do so from a deep yearning to become comfortable in ourselves, our bodies, and our unique vibrant lives.
