Areas of Focus
Healing from Emotional Trauma
You’re not weak-you’re wounded.
If you’ve been gaslit, betrayed, dismissed, or neglected, you may be carrying invisible pain that no one sees but you feel every day. Emotional trauma doesn’t just “go away.” It hides in your relationships, your self-talk, your exhaustion.
Narcissistic Abuse and Domestic Violence
You questioned your memory, your worth, and your sanity.
Gaslighting. Love bombing. Control masked as care. If you’ve endured narcissistic abuse or intimate partner violence, this space is for you. You’ll find truth, language, and tools to break free emotionally, even if you already left physically.
Empowerment and Boundary Setting
You’re allowed to say no - without guilt.
If you’ve been taught to stay quiet, shrink, or “keep the peace,” setting boundaries can feel wrong. But protecting your peace isn’t selfish, it’s survival. Learn how to honor your needs and set limits with strength and grace.

Real Stories of Healing
Juanita didn’t just help me heal. she helped me remember who I was before the trauma. For years, I carried shame that wasn’t mine, pain I couldn’t name, and silence that ate away at my confidence. One session with Juanita changed everything. She saw through the mask I had spent decades perfecting. She gave me language for things I thought were just “my fault.” Working with her has helped me rebuild my identity from the inside out. I finally feel like myself again, except this time, I feel free.
— Danielle R., 42
Because of Juanita, I finally broke the cycle that ran through the women in my family for generations. I grew up thinking love meant self-sacrifice, silence, and staying small. Juanita gently but powerfully helped me see how I was repeating the same patterns my mother and grandmother had lived through. Her guidance helped me set boundaries without guilt, speak up without fear, and choose a future that’s mine, not inherited. My daughter is now watching me live with strength I didn’t even know I had.

I used to think I was crazy. Juanita helped me see, I was just deeply wounded, and finally safe enough to heal.After surviving an abusive relationship, I was emotionally wrecked. I couldn’t trust myself, didn’t know who to talk to, and kept blaming myself. Juanita’s coaching felt like sitting down with someone who had walked through fire, and knew exactly how to lead me out of it. She never rushed me, never judged me, and somehow helped me hold both my pain and my power. I’m not just functioning again, I’m thriving.
