Back to the origin to heal: a journey of soul, blood and memory

We often hear that to understand our present we must go back to the origin. But what does that really mean? For me, going back to my roots was not a nice phrase... it was a profoundly transformative act. It was sitting in front of the mirror of the soul and asking myself: where do I come from? who am I when no one sees me?

This text is born from an intimate, honest and deeply human place. I write it not only as a therapist, but as a woman who has walked the path of healing with the ancestors. And today I share my story with you, with my heart in my hand, because perhaps it is also a reflection of yours.

Coming home: my story

Although I have been researching my family history for more than a decade, it was during a recent Christmas when my soul understood something profound: I needed to return, not only geographically, but emotionally and spiritually, to my home of origin, to that space where my life, my wounds... and also my strength were born.

To return was to open the door not only to a house, but to a hidden chapter of my history. It was to sit with my parents and siblings, with the cold of Bogota caressing the windows, and let the past speak.

Between laughter, silences and anecdotes, the pieces of the great puzzle began to fit together. Question after question, memories that had been dormant emerged. Not only mine. Theirs, too. Because when one person heals in the family system, the healing echo is activated for everyone.

And then it happened: my mother - in a warm, trembling, loving voice - began to narrate the moment of my birth... a moment where, medically, one of us was not going to survive. Listening to her was like being consciously born again, but this time from love, not from trauma. Her every word was a bridge between life and death, between fear and light.
👣 To heal is to remember... with an awakened soul.

What started as a family breakfast turned into a collective healing ritual. The hot chocolate, the black and white photos, the smells of home, the touch of the hands that raised me... everything spoke to me of that little girl I was, of that woman I am today. And at that moment, I returned to my roots with gratitude.

I spent days reconnecting with the land where I was born, caressing forgotten albums, listening to the whispers of lineage through objects, through memories. And I understood something essential: to build a free present, I need to reconcile myself with the past that inhabits me.

Why look at the past? Because therein lies the key to your present

To heal the family tree is not to rummage around out of curiosity. It's honoring the history that brought you here. It's acknowledging those who came before, even when their choices were painful. It's understanding why you repeat patterns in your relationships, why you feel you don't deserve love, abundance or health.

💭 If you feel like you always repeat the same thing....
💔 If in your family there were losses, secrets, infidelities, premature deaths...
👧🏻 If you carry the wound of the inner child that was not seen...
🧬 If there are emotions that you don't know where they come from...

Then your soul is asking you to return. Not to stay, but to free yourself.
💌 Thank you for reading me. Thank you for joining me in this little piece of my story.

Today, from this place of greater understanding, I join you if you are ready to begin your own journey back to the source. Because you don't have to do it alone. Because I've been there too, and I know that on the other side there is relief, clarity... and a new beginning.

The session was absolutely incredible! I was able to heal a very deep wound... Alejandra is absolutely sweet and beautifully grounded. My family constellation session was incredible! I had heard about this kind of modality, but never signed on to receive a session. Well, I've been going deep into my inner work, and it seemed like everywhere I turned I was being nudged to book a session. So I booked, and the session was absolutely incredible! Definitely have your tissues ready! What I loved. The most was some thing that I thought I made peace with showed a completely different side to look at and I was able to heal a very deep wound that really was hurting me personally in my life. Alejandra is absolutely sweet and beautifully grounded. She is so easy to talk to, and is so intuitive. I absolutely loved my session, and highly recommend everyone do so!

Amazing deep healing... feel like entire planets and constellations are moving right now. She is worth having a session with and discovering this deep river of healing love. Amazing deep healing: the place within that never was able to move never was clear never had a voice: all was opened up, revealed and spoken with in the healing space Alejandra creates and opens. She is very sweet and safe to share with and very focused on the work and healing that needs to be addressed here and now no matter how back in the generations the issues are located. She is very patient and deeply into feelings: she gave me time to really deeply feel inside and all the places shapes and forms those feelings are within me. She assisted me in speaking more clearly with myself. She gave me many suggestions for integration and deeper embrace of the work done in session. i feel very complete and very supported and free to return to her for more work if I choose to. I am gonna choose. All the power in my life is mine to choose and direct and show up in. It was fun, tender, deeply healing; feel like entire planets and constellations are moving right now. It will take some time for what was done in such a short time to move and dance and reveal. Again, I feel supported and safe and clear in the process I am in. I am grateful for Alejandra. My experience is she is worth having a session with and discovering this deep river of healing love that she offers.

I was reassured from the very first session that she was the right person to help me... I'll be forever thankful. I'm so thankful for having found Alejandra and have her guide me through my journey to healing. Having had unpleasant and unhelpful experiences with therapy and psychoanalysis before, I was reassured from the very first session that she was the right person to help me get control over my anxiety, overcome childhood trauma and connect with spirituality. I have been able to find a way to forgive and love myself and with this love all those around me. She helped me rebuild self confidence that have made a big difference in my personal and professional life. I know feel like I have the tools to deal with life's difficulties and find enjoyment in every day. I'll be forever thankful.

I've worked with her on many aspects of my life, and thanks to her support, I'm beginning to achieve dreams that once seemed impossible. She listens with empathy, delves deeply without judgment, knows how to guide you where you need to go, and you feel she truly cares. I'll never tire of thanking her for her presence in my life.

I will always be grateful for her dedication since there were days that it was challenging to speak and she had the patience and the right words. It took me years to find someone that I can trust about my personal life. I tried different therapists that only wanted to give me medication for my anxiety during the first session. However, Alejandra never give up on me and I was able to open myself about my childhood problems that I carried my whole life. I speak Spanish and English, but when I tried talking about my childhood in English, it was hard to express myself and finding someone that can speak Spanish was plus in my journey. I will always be grateful for her dedication since there were days that it was challenging to speak and she had the patience and the right words.

I've found each session to be profoundly moving... The time and experience has felt sacred to me. I've attended 3 sessions with Alejandra and Jay. I've found each session to be profoundly moving in a unique way. The time and experience has felt sacred to me, and that would not be possible without the care and supportive attention of the facilitators. I would recommend them to anyone interested in growth and prepared for a challenge.

I find Family Constellations Therapy an astounding modality... I felt they created a highly warm, caring, and safe container. Let's face it, meeting our challenges head on and create change in our life is not always an easy task. Nor is the direction always clear and comfortable. To gain more insights and discover the root cause of issues there's a way. Throughout the years, I have involved myself in many healing practices. I wanted to live a life that I could thrive in rather than survive in. I find Family Constellations Therapy an astounding modality for this. It has really assisted me to dive deep within myself. I have created more understanding, peace, love, balance, and harmony in my life with a way that I feel is efficient, has grace, dignity, empathy, and compassion. My experience with Jay and Ale was very positive. I felt they created a highly warm, caring, and safe container to do the work needed. I found them to be extremely passionate and excellent teachers and guides with this process. I look forward to experiencing more Family Constellations Therapy Workshops with them. Here's to being unlimited!
