What People Are Saying
Stories of Healing, Resilience & Rooted Transformation

Mariliz D. — San Francisco, CA

"How her methodology isn't more widely known still shocks me.

As a communications professional, I thought I’d seen it all. But Lorena’s presence is a gift. I’ve recommended her 8-week program to friends and family across the globe.

If she can fit you in—Take it!"

 

Carla R. — Tampa, FL

"I didn’t realize how much my body needed those simple, rhythmic movements. Dancing to folkloric sounds helped me release something deep.

Lorena’s workshop gave my heart space to breathe again."

 

Lisa S. Baltimore, MD

"If you ever have the chance to take Lorena’s Primal Writing workshop, do it. Her words unlocked parts of me I thought were gone. I left with clarity and connection, and a deeper understanding of how my body holds stories."

"In this life, we are not just passing through—we are returning. Returning to our hearts, our homes, and the divine wisdom that has always been within us."

Perú – Early Life


Born and raised in Perú, I was immersed in the oral traditions, rituals, and rhythms of Andean ancestral wisdom. Nature wasn’t something outside of me—it was the first teacher. These early foundations shaped my identity as a Pacha philosopher and storyteller, anchoring me in the spiritual and ecological principles I now share with others.

U.S. – Early 20s


I migrated to the U.S. alone in my early twenties, carrying hope, heritage, and uncertainty. I faced abusive relationships, emotional isolation, and migration trauma—the unspoken pain of cultural displacement. Yet even through grief, I began to sense the stirrings of deep medicine. My healing began with the recognition that I carried within me everything I was seeking.

Years of Inner and Professional Transformation


Through embodiment practices, spiritual exploration, and deep introspection, I reclaimed ancestral healing tools passed down through my lineage. This inner transformation guided my professional path, leading me to become an Ecopsychologist,

yoga therapist (C-IAYT), and mindfulness educator—blending modern modalities with ancestral truths.

20+ Years in Wellness and Healing


With two decades of experience in the wellness space, I’ve supported thousands—especially Latino, immigrant, and culturally diverse communities—in reclaiming emotional autonomy, reducing stress, and reconnecting with their roots. My work integrates nature-based healing, cultural resilience, and trauma-informed care, always grounded in reciprocity with the Earth.

Present – Perú & Washington, D.C.


My upcoming book, Awaken Your Roots, is the culmination of my life’s healing journey. It’s a call to return home to ourselves, to our ancestry, and to nature. Today, I continue offering bilingual coaching, writing, and speaking—holding space for those seeking to transform shame, perfectionism, and anxiety into inner wisdom and cultural sovereignty
