Hi, I’m Margarita.

My story started very young.

Hospitals. Needles. Hallways that smelled like fear.
While other kids were learning to play, I was learning to endure.
To be quiet. To not be a burden.
To survive what no child should have to normalize.

I never felt like I fit.
School felt like a stage I didn’t belong on.
I watched the world like I was outside of it —
always trying to catch up, never quite arriving.

By the time I was a teenager, pain had become familiar.
Control became my comfort.
An eating disorder gave me the illusion of safety —
like if I could just shrink enough, I’d finally feel okay.

Later came the relationships.
The ones that mirrored everything I believed about love.
That it hurts.
That you stay quiet.
That you fix yourself to be chosen.

I’ve been beaten.
Held captive.
Love-bombed and broken down in the same breath.
And I stayed — not because I didn’t know better — but because I didn’t yet know me.

I didn’t trust my body.
I didn’t trust my voice.
I only knew how to survive.

Until I didn’t want to just survive anymore.

That’s when everything changed.
I stopped trying to “move on” from my pain and started learning how to move through it.
Through somatic healing.
Through trauma-informed nervous system work.
Through the science of safety, not the performance of strength.

I chose to study what no one around me seemed to value:
How to come home to yourself.
How to heal at the root — not just manage symptoms.
How to stop self-abandoning and start self-repairing.

Today, I help women and men, do the same.

Not with hacks.
Not with surface-level “self-love.”
But with deep nervous system work that honors your story and rewrites it with safety, not shame.

Because you’re not broken.
You’re brilliant.
Your trauma shaped you — but it doesn’t get to own you.

This is where your healing begins.
Not through force.
Not through fixing.
Through remembering who you were before the world taught you to forget.

Welcome home.
