Here’s what past students have experienced within my 7-week course, Finding Safety in Yourself …

“The way that Luis teaches about capacity was really important for me. That has been a big change in my body: trusting my capacity , meeting myself , being compassionate with my capacity. That's one of Luis’ main teachings, and he has a lot of capacity.”

— Anita

“Everything in the course is so essential for day to day activity and for the future of your life.

“If you're wanting a bit more, wanting to understand why we are the way we are, maybe try out this course and really dive into your own body. It's just such a beautiful connection to make.”

— David

“All these subtle shifts that day after day I'm doing are creating this stable foundation for me to be less reactive, to be working from this grounded foundation that makes it easier to live my life, and less of a rollercoaster ride.”

— Ean

“You have that moment where you just understand yourself. You just understand all these things that you could not make sense of, and in a large part what your community and society is trying to tell you, and you know it's wrong but you just don't have the words to communicate why. It was just like, I get it now…

“We can feel what we're feeling, and we can work through what we're working through, and we're held so safely. I never thought there would be able to be that kind of sacred container about the work that we're doing.”

— Hillary

“Luis' presence was very grounding. Being on a call with him and everyone else twice a week was really settling to my system.”

— Kai

“I ended up taking Luis and the program on a flight with me. I hadn't been on an airplane by myself since I was 15, prior to horrific trauma. It was amazing. I had no anxiety, no panic attacks.”

— Terry

“Luis is profoundly compassionate, dedicated, and masterful. Over the years, I've worked with a number of therapists, healers, teachers in 1:1 settings over long periods of time and extraordinary amounts of money. I felt the same, if not a greater sense of trust with Luis in a class setting done over Zoom during a pandemic.

“I don't think there was a single person in the class who wanted help or guidance from him and wasn't able to get it.

“The community was definitely an integral part of the course for me. I learned so much from other members... It was incredibly healing to feel the support of the collective group, both in class and on Slack. So many members were offering suport and guidance to each other. That kind of community dynamic really does foster healing and growth and augment the safe space that Luis built.”

— Chris

“I felt with this course, it's been extremely helpful but in a gentle way. It didn't feel super shocking to my nervous system.

“The biggest thing is that I'm not numb. I was extremely numb before to my body, and very emotionally disregulated. I had no connection between my emotions and my body.”

— Ever Ardea

“I'm not afraid of my body anymore. I'm better able to sit with my experiences and be curious.”

— Itumeleng

“My body was constantly living in a state of anticipated threat. By being able to trap the charge and find the safety in that room, I was able to bring myself back to the moment and enjoy it for what it was.”

— Jamie

“It deepened my ability to be with myself, and to be expansive with what's happening in my body, and more accepting of what's happening in my body and being able to be with those sensations…

“Anything that anyone brought up was accepted as a valid experience, and was treated with respect and love. Luis meets you where you are.”

— Laura

“As a neurodivergent person -- I have ADHD and dsylexia and some autistic traits -- I found his teaching to be trauma-informed. The pace was the body space. He was so careful not to overload us with logical thinking and theory. There was a beautiful mix between the theory, the logical parts, and the experiential.”

— Mari

“In clicking that button, I was saying yes to a whole other experience in my body, in my relationships, in my experience of mothering, and in my ability to relate with my past and become a more embodied person. I have released so much tension that I was carrying…

“Luis, Marika, and Camille hold such an impeccable space. Being able to experience space being held with such integrity in a group has been really transformational for me…

“I 100% recommend the course. It is truly a gift.”

— Mel

“I found more ability to navigate the ups and downs of life.

“I want to invite all my friends to this course. I think it's one of those things that would benefit everybody.”

— Nicholas

“Luis definitely helped us to identify triggers, which helps us in our relationships in terms of how we interact with one another.

“He's helped us see that a lot of times what's triggering us goes beyond the person that you're arguing with. These things actually come from somewhere else... Luis gave us the tools to unpack certain things in the heat of the moment and disengage, and then we're able to talk about things.

“I've never met a person who is more non-judgmental. No matter what you tell Luis, he's like, ‘I understand why you feel that way.’ There's no moment of surprise, shock, judgment or ‘you shouldn't be doing that.’ Nothing like that from Luis. He's just so understanding and kind.”

— Nicole & Todd

“It can really change your life. It can really change how you feel in your body, your relationships, your energy, your focus, your attitude towards life.”

— Nora

“It really helped me connect more with my whole self and remember that I'm not just a brain.

“It helped me have a much deeper connection with what was a true yes for me and what was in alignment with what I wanted to do, verses what was done because of people pleasing or what I think I should do.”

— Paula

“I've done years of stuff — like, years of stuff — and working with Luis is the first time that I feel like I'm actually developing a relationship with my body, and my emotional body, in a way I've never done before.”

— Sage

“I felt so seen and held by the community that it burst that fear for me of being in that space. I love that the Slack provided a way to connect to people outside of the couple of hours that we were seeing each other each week. I think the Slack is one of my favorite parts about this group…

“Learning how to access those parts of my body after a lifetime of trying to escape feeling, that as a tool was really incredible…

“Luis is really able to create a spaciousness and make everyone feel valued in what they share and what they contribute.”

— Mary

“From day 1, I was hooked on the class and integrating so much somatic work. It was such a profound experience for me.”

— Molly

“I told many friends about this course, but what I found was that the descriptions weren't anything compared to how people perceive me differently. My partner, my mom, family members, whether they said it or not, I could feel my presence differently.

“These practices are very simple, and they're described in laymen's language, and yet they seem to have a very profound effect.”

— Naveed

“I feel that it's such a gift to take this course. The way Luis guides it, the way he makes things understandable.

“It just helps me to befriend my body in a way where I can integrate the trauma, rather than trying to fight it all the time.”

— Nikita

“Luis’ teaching style is so grounded, not judgmental in the least, making you feel like you're talking to a friend who's been there, who understands everything you say no matter what. He gets it, and has keys to unlock these doors and puzzle pieces.”

— Suzanne

“I've been super low energy my whole life and always exhausted, and I've tried everything to try to figure out what's going on... This course has really, really helped me understand why I'm so exhausted and give me some tools to better manage the negative reactions I've been having from trauma.”

— Tess

“No matter what comes up for me or other participants, I've always felt like I can dive in deeper and don't have to be afraid of what's inside myself.

“If you want to be genuine in all your interactions with your partners, with your friendships with yourself, Luis is a really great person to surround yourself with.”

— Zach

“I honestly would say this course is one of the pivotal moments of my journey.

“It really grounded me into my body and allowed me to trust this body that I have, and to honor it, and allow it to be part of the experience.”

— Stefanie

  • I find that the more I do this work, the more spacious I feel internally...

    As I de-adrenalize my body I begin to feel more calm, grounded, and settled...The notion that my body is perfect and doing exactly what it should be doing, in reaction to what's happening in and around it, is a bit mind-bending...I notice that I'm unhooked from an addiction to adrenaline itself.

  • Insight, wisdom, and practical tools for understanding one's own issues.

    Couldn't be happier with Luis's work. Insight, wisdom, and practical tools for understanding one's own issues. So kind, patient, articulate, compassionate--an utterprofessional. He's brought a lot of healing and understanding to my relationships with my creative work, my family, my partner, and my past. Affordable too.

    — Benjamin Obler, Author & Teacher

    …which has been so so great for me. He is a humble and compassionate guide, as well as ultra professional. I would recommend him to anyone who is ready to dig deep.

  • Luis is a truly skilled practitioner ...

    I really don't feel that I can praise him enough.

    He really listens and is able to address the true cause of what ails you.
