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. 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.
I'm here to support your journey with the practices, tools, rituals, and community that have held me through my own.
Offerings
Endometriosis Care
As someone living with endometriosis, I have a deep personal connection to the challenges this condition brings — the chronic pain, the uncertainty, the feeling of not being believed or understood. My lived experience shapes how I show up for others navigating this journey
Whether you're newly diagnosed or have been living with this condition for years, you don't have to do it alone.
Fertility Journey Support
Having gone through IVF myself, I know firsthand how difficult and isolating a fertility journey can be — for both the person going through treatment and the partner walking alongside them. The hormones, the waiting, the grief, the moments of hope and heartbreak are real.
Wherever you are in this process, I am here to support you.
Nervous System Regulation
Whether you are beginning a wellness practice for the first time, looking to deepen an existing one, or seeking support through anxiety, stress, trauma recovery or a particularly challenging period, this is a space for you.
My approach is tailored to meet you where you are, offering guidance that honors both your immediate needs and your long-term wellbeing.
Parenthood Support
Becoming a mother……
How I work
In every session, I weave in trauma-conscious mindfulness, body-based (somatic) practices, and a diverse toolkit of practices and educational tools — always tailored to individual and collective needs and context. These practices include meditation, movement, breathwork, nervous system regulation, sensory awareness, storytelling and rituals.
We create a map. Your body is a living territory — carrying memories, stories, and wisdom. That map becomes the guide to sessions designed around you. And yet, no map exists in isolation. What we carry is shaped by the relational, the cultural, the systemic, and the ancestral. I work with each person, couple or group as a system of wholeness.
I offer:
-
The one- on -one sessions are 90 minute spaces thoughtfully tailored to your needs. We create a map that is personal, intentional, and built around your own experience.
Session can be in person or virtual.
$85 USD for one session
I work on a sliding scale. Reach out and let's have a conversation about how I can support you!
-
Group sessions are structured over a minimum of 4 weeks, with each session running between 90 minutes and 2 hours. This timeframe is intentional — it gives you the space to build habits, show up for yourself consistently, and connect to the practices at your own rhythm.
Processes can take longer depending on the needs of each group and can. be in person or virtual.
I welcome organizations, groups, and communities who would like to bring this experience to their team or space.

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. It is a returning to that innate wisdom that is fragmented when we experience pain and challenges. 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.
When we learn to listen to our bodies and our nervous system we can discover a powerful pathway to self-knowledge, safety, care, belonging and dignity.
I’m here to walk with you as you remember your way to your own rhythm, your own breath & your own belonging.
