SOMATIC WISDOM
FOR REAL LIFE
Understand your nervous system, work with patterns that keep
repeating and support yourself with science-based somatic tools.
hola, I’m
MELIZZA
I’m a licensed therapist, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, mother, proud Chicana, and the founder of Soul y Sombra. After twenty years of supporting people through stress, trauma, grief, and life’s transitions, I created this space to bring clear, practical somatic support to my Latino community and beyond.
welcome to
Soul y Sombra
where somatic wisdom is made accessible
because we believe it belongs to us all.
“Awareness shows us the adaption and that leads to agency.”
Reflection & Ritual
SOULFUL LIVING
Stories, life insights, beauty, motherhood, food, and the ordinary moments that shape who we are.

somatic support?
Don’t worry, I’ve made it easy for you.

behind it all.
Learn it live.
Practice it together.
