FOR SEEKERS, HEALERS, AND SPIRITUAL MISFITS

A refuge for the beautifully stuck

Trauma-informed Somatic Coaching that honors both your pain and your path

It’s not about fixing you — it’s about befriending every part of you, so your own wisdom can lead the way.

Through embodied self-inquiry, compassionate parts work, and the wisdom of the nervous system, you’ll learn how to feel more at home in your body — and in your life.

Perhaps you’ve tried therapy before – or even undertaken a spiritual practice – which has proven to be beneficial and healing. However, eventually you’ve found that in the messiness of everyday life, you’re still stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. I want to assure you: you’re not alone.

I want to help you integrate your healing, which may include broad emotional tools or specific spiritual practices, with your whole life. After all, to heal is to be whole, which is much more than feeling aligned for the 55 minutes of a therapy session or yoga practice.

In my work, we’ll explore trauma and nervous system regulation so you can find balance through your body, with a model that is inspired in the Upanishads and yogic philosophy, and that provides healing you can actually feel.

Sound familiar?

Even after years of regular practice, we can stay stuck like we’re going round in circles. Here are some signs that it might be time to release blocked emotions:

While you’re in your practice, you feel connected and present, but when you return to everyday life, that connection disappears.
You are secretly ashamed of certain “unevolved” feelings and behaviors you can’t get rid of
You settle for feeling freedom and peace occasionally when your practice allows it, but most of the time you experience tension.
Your hope lies in the possibility that through more of the same, one day you’ll achieve what you seek.
You can explain very eloquently why you are suffering, but that intellectual understanding doesn’t make. it go away.

The fact that we feel stuck doesn’t mean we haven’t healed at all or that we are failing… it means we are ripe for a new awakening: relating to our experience on a new level.

About Me

Therapist, coach, yoga teacher, human being

I’ve been there

I know what it’s like to see everyone else meditating quietly while my own mind is racing out of control. I know what it’s like to lose the ability to focus for weeks on end after a particularly triggering situation. I know what it feels like to go through life knowing the next panic attack is waiting just around the corner.

My own path began over 20 years ago and involved first and foremost healing myself, which led to the exploration of a vast amount of spiritual and not-so-spiritual practices, with all the resulting trial and error. It took longer than I had envisioned and hurt more than I could ever had imagined, and the result is not that I am finally “healed”… but it’s that I would choose this path again if I had the choice.
Today I choose to share what I learned to transform my pain into a gift for others who need similar healing.

What My Clients Say

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Mariano’s gentle, professional guidance in his practice allowed me to uncover deeply buried beliefs that I didn’t even know were there. Even with all my previous inner work, he held a mirror to parts of myself I’d long forgotten, creating space for a profound shift. If you’re ready to move beyond coping and truly thrive, I wholeheartedly recommend working with Mariano.

I appreciate your slow and careful pace in which I feel calm. You are great at holding a safe container which really allows all my parts to show up and feel seen.
Thanks to your work I connected with a young part of me that I had previously lost connection with. I fully witnessed the young one and their story. Very powerful.
