Barbara Guevara
Barbara is a Metta-therapist, a compassionate and mindfulness-based approach, with a strong somatic component.
Inspired by Buddhist philosophy, and sustained by the scientific knowledge of modern psychology and neuroscience, Barbara creates a safe support to your process, to release emotional issues, improving mental health and sense of wellbeing.
Barbara merges mindfulness practices, such as MBCT, MSC and MBSR, and other eastern and western ancient wisdom, with several trauma-informed approaches (e.g. Compassionate Inquiry, IFS, Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Experience, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy).
She is also a certified Systemic Family Constellations Therapist, Somatic Breathwork coach, Cranio-sacral therapist, Sound Massage Professional Practitioner (Peter Hess® Method), a Reiki Master, and a Psychedelic-Assisted Therapist.
She is currently working with clients from all over the world.
Barbara also leads retreats, workshops and trainings.
She develops mindfulness-based programs and breathwork protocols for individuals and organizations; she teaches Buddhism and meditation; as well as being a senior Yoga teacher for more than 20 years. She also developed protocols for mental training and health improvement, for general population but mainly for women’s health, that include water fasting and ice bath immersions, among many other tools.
In parallel to her spiritual path, she has been a journalist and 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 two unborn souls, married for the second time, 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 indigenous and spiritual practices.
