A Creative Approach Towards Self-Healing, Wholeness & Freedom
A Creative Approach Towards Self-Healing, Wholeness & Freedom
Self-Healing is a recovery process from psychological and emotional wounds, motivated and guided by a person's own inner wisdom. To facilitate that, I bring together the expressive arts, meditation practices, and community to promote holistic healing, consciousness expansion, and embodied experience.

In inviting a relationship between the conscious and the unconscious mind, we create space for memories and emotions stored in the body and below the surface of consciousness to rise into awareness. That way, we can explore and process them in creative ways, in the present moment's safety.
​
Each person is unique, as we are all shaped by our personal experiences. They leave in us a series of imprints from which we form our identities and narratives. So imagine that there is an entire universe within you. A universe that is particular and mostly unknown. Wouldn't it be amazing to explore its landscapes, its inhabitants, and everything else that constitutes it? That's what I am inviting you to do: travel inwards to get to know yourself intimately, allowing the journey to transform you in ways yet unknown.​

Healing is a whole body process
Somatic Therapy & Education ~ Movement-Based Expressive Arts
Hello!
I’m Ana Liz Ceregatti, and I’m glad you’re here.
As a Somatic Therapist and Educator and Expressive Arts Practitioner, I specialize in facilitating healing from trauma through embodiment and creative expression.
I work primarily with women, supporting those who have experienced challenging relational dynamics and/or life events that left a limiting impact on their sense of self, self-esteem, autonomy, and relationships.
My approach to trauma healing centers on compassionately and creatively uncovering and tending to wounded parts with curiosity and understanding. We reconnect to the core of who you are and shift maladaptive mechanisms into life-generating resources for integration and growth in daily life.
Some aspects we can work on:
~ What have you lacked? ~
Healing the mother wound, the inner child, and inner teenager to fully embody your adult capacity
~ How safe do you feel to be exactly as you are? ~
Aligning inner experience with outward expression; clarifying and emboldening your voice and honing your unique creative gifts
​
~ What notions have you internalized about yourself? ~
Nurturing a comfortable, accepting, trusting, and celebratory relationship with your body, image, and Self
~ How much are you allowed to want and have? ~
Cultivating self-worth, self-esteem, and self-efficacy
~ How attuned do you feel to subtle aspects of yourself? ~
Reconnecting with and strengthening intuition, ancestrality, and spirituality
~ What do you wish to see grow in your life? ~
Facilitating lifestyle and habit changes so you can build the life you want
​

​
As a therapist and educator, my primary role is to listen deeply and engage not only with your words, but also with the subtleties of your body language and unconscious cues, facilitating awareness of aspects of your experience that hold profound meaning but may otherwise go unnoticed.
​
Through somatic-based and creative practices, I offer tools to help you get clarity, navigate challenges with resources and confidence, and find resolution for both internal and external conflicts and traumas.
​
Honoring your strengths and vulnerabilities, together we co-create the conditions that allow you to experience deep healing, transformation, and boundless expansion.
I am proud of being part of the Latina diaspora in Los Angeles, and my practice is inclusive of women and queer folks of all cultural and ethnic backgrounds and ages.
I am passionate about empowering a refreshed feminine notion in a culture driven by oppressive gender norms, greed, and urgency, offering a body-based, creative process-oriented, and generative approach to healing and personal growth that allows clients to explore inner and outer life from rigidity to conscious movement, through embodied creativity.
Both in my private practice and group sessions, I encourage clients to expand their understanding, exchange ideas, and learn how to take embodied action toward a fuller and more meaningful life - personally, interpersonally, politically, and ecologically.
I have extensive training in the Tamalpa Life/Art Process®, having worked closely with co-founding director Daria Halprin at Esalen Institute. I am currently developing community-based work with women who, like myself, have faced breast cancer, as part of my final supervised work towards certification in the method.
I work with private clients in Los Angeles CA, and via Zoom; and offer women's workshops regularly.
Offerings
Private Sessions
A deeply embodied, integrative process that helps restore links between body experience and the brain.
We re-member your embodied wisdom, putting the pieces back together to understand the layers of your inner and outer life, and create opportunities for emotional processing, resolution, transformation, and growth.
Women's Workshops
Your body is your territory of wisdom and expression.
With like-hearted women, explore new ways to inhabit your body and relate with your life.
Through thoughtfully designed experiences, you'll gain new insights, strengthen self-trust, and learn somatic and creative tools to use in your life.
"Movement has the capacity to take us to the home of the soul, the world within for which we have no name.
Movement reaches our deepest nature, and dance creatively expresses it. Through dance, we gain new insights into the mystery of our lives.
When brought forth from the inside and forged by the desire to create personal change, dance has the profound power to heal the body, psyche and soul."
-Anna Halprin
"Our work together helped me to get into my body and, through this, gain clarity about the internal conflict I was experiencing.
​
I really enjoy the use of different forms of expression and how they interconnect. Ana's presence makes me feel safe, and her way of being makes me feel seen and helps me to dive deeper."
