Healing has always been communal.
Community care, ritual, and embodied rest — for those who are ready to come back to themselves, together.
“The times are urgent; let us slow down.”
Raíces with Nubia LLC is my offering, born from the deep belief that healing has always been communal, and that rest, ritual, and being witnessed are medicine. I created this space because I witnessed first hand what clinical settings often times miss: there are energetic and spiritual dimensions to healing.
I bring together my training in medicine, trauma-informed yoga, sound healing, somatics, and ritual to create spaces where healing happens collectively.
These offerings are rooted in BIPOC healing traditions and the belief that rest, ritual, and community are not luxuries. They are acts of care and resistance.
Bilingual offerings available in English and Spanish. // Ofrecemos espacios bilingües en inglés y español.
Offerings
Sound Baths & Sound Healing
I came to sound healing through my own body. Through the moments when words weren't enough and something deeper needed to be reached.
Sound is medicine. It is vibration, frequency, and energy. A remembering of what the body already knows. When we are chronically stressed, grieving, or carrying more than we can name, our nervous systems get stuck in patterns of protection.
Sound moves through tissue and fluid, bypasses the thinking mind, and invites the body into states of deep rest and repair that most of us rarely have access to because of the cultures we live in. I use crystal singing bowls, koshi chimes, and mixed nut chimes, each chosen for the quality of resonance they carry into a room.
Through the science of entrainment, your brainwaves naturally synchronize with sound frequencies, gently guiding you from activation into the slower, softer states where healing lives.
Each session is multisensory and intentional, weaving together sound, essential oils, and reflective journaling into a full-body experience of restoration.
Sound baths are available for private groups, community events, and organizational wellness, in person or virtual.
Trauma-Informed Yoga & Embodied Movement
I came to trauma-informed yoga through my own healing. As a psychiatrist trained to treat the mind, I kept meeting women whose pain lived somewhere words couldn't reach. Yoga, offered through a trauma-informed lens, became one of the first practices that helped me and the women I work with find our way back to our bodies.
This is not a workout. It is an invitation to slow down, to notice, and to return to yourself at whatever pace feels safe.
I am a certified trauma-informed yoga teacher, trained through Zabie Yamasaki's Transcending Trauma Through Yoga program and my RYT 200. These sessions are not about getting it right. They are about coming home to your body, with curiosity and compassion.
Available for private groups, women's circles, and organizational wellness. In person in San Diego or virtually.
I believe grief deserves more than silence.
Whether you are mourning a person, a relationship, a version of yourself, or the weight of collective loss — there is space for it here. Grief is not a problem to be solved. It is a sacred process that asks to be witnessed.
Grief circles weave together ritual, somatic practice, and community witnessing to honor what has been lost and tend to what is still becoming.
