Barbara Guevara
"Barbara is a Metta-therapist, a compassionate and mindfulness-based holistic approach, with a strong somatic component.
Inspired by Buddhist philosophy, sustained by modern eastern methods and ancestral practices, Barbara aims to support your process, in your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual dimensions, but also considering the dynamics in your family, social and cultural system.
Barbara merges mindfulness practices, and other ancient wisdoms, with several trauma-informed approaches, such as Compassionate Inquiry, Internal Family Systems, Systemic Family Constellations, Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Experience, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, MBCT, MSC and MBSR.
Being a senior Yoga teacher for more than 20 years, Barbara also leads retreats, workshops and trainings; develops mindfulness-based programs and breathwork protocols for individuals and organizations; teaches Buddhism and meditation. She also developed protocols for mental training and health improvement, that include water fasting and ice bath immersions.
She is a Somatic Breathwork coach, Cranio-Sacral Therapist, Sound Massage Professional Practitioner (Peter Hess® Method), a Reiki Master, Systemic Family Therapist and a Psychedelic-Assisted Therapist.
In parallel to her spiritual path, she was a journalist until her late 30's and she still is a tireless activist, campaigning and giving voice to racial equality, gender equality, human rights, LGBTQ+ rights, religious freedom, and animal rights.
Barbara is a mother of two born children and three unborn souls, married twice, and with her own personal journey through abuse, addiction and some health challenges. A path that led her to a powerful and deep work, through various modalities, including shamanic and spiritual practices.
