FOR INDIVIDUALS

Journey with me.

I offer coaching, holistic healing services, and spiritual care for individuals seeking personal transformation and emotional and mental well-being alongside systemic change. My work is based on the teachings of yoga, mindfulness, and compassionate communication.

I also offer trainings for practitioners who want to offer yoga or reiki with others in a way that’s rooted in honor and respect for the cultural roots of these ancient practices.

My formal education is in psychology and the law, and I served as a public policy lawyer for 13 years before leaving my more conventional legal career to study diversity, social justice, trauma healing, and spiritual care and to found Attuned Living.

I am based out of Oakland, California, which sits on the territory of xučyun (Huichin), the ancestral and unceded land of the Chochenyo-speaking Lisjan Ohlone people.

 
 
 

Tools for Personal Transformation

 

I offer coaching and holistic healing sessions to individuals who hold marginalized identities for the purpose of promoting emotional and mental well-being, cultivating self-empathy and self-compassion, and supporting the journey towards personal and collective liberation.


About Coaching

Coaching sessions are one-on-one meetings where we collaborate to help you build a life that aligns with your core values and fosters greater personal and collective well-being.

Throughout our coaching partnership, I draw upon holistic healing techniques, including mindfulness, present moment awareness, and compassionate communication practices. These elements create a supportive framework for exploratory dialogue that encourages self-reflection and personal growth.

I have been coaching individuals since completing my coaching training in 2009. Before we enter into a coaching relationship, I encourage you to book a complimentary session with me so that you can get a feel for how I work.


About Holistic Healing

Holistic healing sessions, offered in-person or remotely, are suitable for various needs, including anxiety relief, addressing racial and systemic injustice, and end-of-life care. They may involve any of the healing techniques for which I am certified, including mindfulness practices, meditation, guided visualization, energy healing, gentle movement, and/or trauma healing.

During a session, I will invite you to relax with closed or softly focused eyes, guided by my voice or soothing music. In-person sessions may involve light touch or hands held slightly above the body.

Immediate stress relief and deep relaxation are common, with many people reporting cumulative benefits over time.

About Spiritual Care

As an interfaith minister, I provide assistance, support, and care for individuals' spiritual and emotional well-being. I was ordained on November 15, 2011, for the purpose of contributing to the transformative power of love and meditation that I witnessed at the Occupy San Francisco demonstration event. I helped establish and organize events at the interfaith spiritual sanctuary at the protest site, alongside others who shared this vision until it was dismantled by police on December 11, 2011.

Since then, I’ve focused on holistic healing, compassionate communication, social justice, and bringing the transformative power of love and meditation to hospice care, providing support, solace, and compassion to individuals and their families during the end-of-life journey.

Itzel possesses a rare combination of wisdom, compassion, and patience.

I cannot recommend her highly enough.
