I offer mindfulness-based care practices, always honoring the inherent wisdom every person carries within.
Thank you for being here ! I’m Camila Diaz — born and raised in Colombia, rooted in New York City for over a decade, and moving between these two places I call home. I’m a mom, a community builder, and a trauma-conscious care facilitator.
While I am not a therapist, I bring many years of experience in mindfulness, trauma care work and body-based practices.
I believe our bodies have the wisdom to heal — and that wisdom surfaces when we create environments of care, kindness, wonder, and safety.
I'm here to support your journey with the practices, tools, rituals, and community that have held me through my own.
This space is for you
I offer individual and group sessions for:
Women living with endometriosis
Women and their partners moving through fertility journeys
People looking to start or deepen a wellbeing practice
People navigating difficulty — trauma recovery, stress, anxiety, or pain
I strive to hold spaces that are sensitive to every context — where people can be with the complexity, messiness, and beauty of their own humanity. Where they can soften, feel safe, be witnessed, and remember their own inner wisdom.
Offerings & Practices
In every session, I weave in trauma-conscious mindfulness, body-based practices, and a diverse toolkit of practices and educational tools — always tailored to each group or person’s needs and context.
This work is not about bypassing difficult realities. It is about bringing awareness and compassion to our experience — in our bodies and in the world at large.
How I Work
We create a map. Your body is living territory — carrying memories, stories, and wisdom. That map becomes the guide to sessions designed around you: your body, your history, your rhythm.
Each session creates more room for presence, connection, and care through:
Somatic & body-centered practices — gentle tools to re-ground, rest, and restore
Mindful movement & breathwork — returning to the body through movement and breath
Storytelling — giving voice and meaning to your experiences
Ancestry work — exploring the patterns, stories, and wisdom carried in your lineage
Creativity & working with your hands — healing through making and expression
Simple reset tools — portable practices available to you whenever you need them
Rituals — creating containers and symbolism for your most lived experiences
Our individual experience is always held within something larger. The personal is shaped by the relational, the cultural, the systemic, and the ancestral. I work with each person or group as a system of wholeness — meeting all the layers that have shaped who we are with love and compassion, so we can begin to see the whole experience.
Working with our own history — in our bodies — allows us to remember, repair, and return to that wholeness.
My story & why I do this work
Life is nuanced. We can feel joy and sorrow at the same time. I have known deep pain and loss — and I have also been held by love, connection, and community.
For many years I was living in survival mode — a kind of exile from myself.
My body learned very early what conflict and loss feel like. Those experiences shaped my nervous system long before I had words or tools to resource myself. And when I finally found enough safety to begin processing, everything I had been carrying started to surface: chronic pain, endometriosis, anxiety, grief, panic attacks, and a long fertility journey.
Slowly — through silence, therapy, meditation, body-based practices, music, nature, community — I started to find my way back in, to come home to myself- it is still a work in progress! Against all odds, I became a mother — the most fulfilling and inspiring chapter of my life.
I have learned that the body holds all of our stories, and that healing happens slowly, gently, and in relationship. It is complex, messy and nonlinear. Learning to meet what life brings us with more internal capacity and presence is some of the most transformative work we can do.
My work is informed by the places I come from, the communities and teachers I’ve worked alongside, and the realities my body has lived through.

In Colombia, I worked for 10 years at Genesis Foundation implementing education and peacebuilding programs in underserved communities. I served as a Mindfulness Teacher and Program Coordinator at Respira, one of the first mindfulness organizations in the country. I continue to offer online meditations with them.
In New York City, I worked as Director of Breathe International, sharing mindfulness as a peacebuilding tool with Latine undocumented women.
I spent six years as a Program Coordinator and Teacher at Lineage Project, bringing trauma-conscious practices to youth navigating complex systems, and taught for two years with Exalt Youth, supporting court-involved teens.
I’ve facilitated circles and spaces for women and completed a seven-month training in Women’s Medicine and Sexuality to deepen my understanding of the body and cyclical wisdom.
Today, I collaborate with organizations including Collective Care Lab, Robin, Life Story Club, Milestales, Berkeley Public Library and Keralty Compassionate Communities, and accompany individuals on their self-care journeys.
A gentle invitation
I believe healing is not a straight line, but a returning to that innate wisdom that is fragmented when we experience pain and challenges.
I’m here to walk with you as you remember your way to your own rhythm, your own breath, your own belonging.
