A Creative Approach Towards Self-Healing, Wholeness & Freedom
Self-Healing is a recovery process from psychological and emotional wounds, motivated and guided by a person's own inner wisdom. To facilitate that, I bring together the expressive arts, meditation practices, and community to promote holistic healing, consciousness expansion, and embodied experience.

In inviting a relationship between the conscious and the unconscious mind, we create space for memories and emotions stored in the body and below the surface of consciousness to rise into awareness. That way, we can explore and process them in creative ways, in the present moment's safety.
Each person is unique, as we are all shaped by our personal experiences. They leave in us a series of imprints from which we form our identities and narratives. So imagine that there is an entire universe within you. A universe that is particular and mostly unknown. Wouldn't it be amazing to explore its landscapes, its inhabitants, and everything else that constitutes it? That's what I am inviting you to do: travel inwards to get to know yourself intimately, allowing the journey to transform you in ways yet unknown.

Healing is a process of embodiment
Hello!
I’m Ana Liz Ceregatti, and I’m glad you’re here.
As a Somatic Therapist and Educator and Expressive Arts Therapy Practitioner, I specialize in supporting folks who identify as women to heal and grow from trauma and other challenges that have left a limiting impact in their sense of self, self-esteem, and movement through life.
I do so through creative embodiment, weaving together modalities like Somatic Movement/Dance, Expressive Arts, Somatic Parts Work, somatic meditation, ritual, authentic performance, and the power of attuned relationship and shared collective experience.
My approach to trauma healing centers on compassionately uncovering and tending to wounded parts, with curiosity and understanding, in creative ways. It creates space for clients to enjoy the healing process. We reconnect to the core of who you are and shift maladaptive mechanisms into life-generating resources for integration and growth in daily life.
TOGETHER, WE CAN WORK ON
Healing attachment wounds and harmonizing your multiple parts, so you can embody your true potential
Aigning inner experience and outward expression, unleashing and emboldening your voice, and honing your unique creative gifts
Nurturing a loving and empowered relationship with your body, image, and Self
Resourcing through intuition, ancestrality, and spirituality
Cultivating a positive self-concept (self-worth, self-esteem, and self-efficacy)
Creating lifestyle and habit changes so you can release old patterns and build an authentic and meaningful life
⊙
My primary role is to listen deeply and engage not only with your words, but with the subtleties of your body language and unconscious cues, offering you ways to explore and process what emerges.
I guide you to gain awareness of aspects of your experience that hold profound meaning but may otherwise go unnoticed, supporting you to activate your inner healer and gain trust in your innate wisdom.
I am proud of being part of the Latina diaspora in Los Angeles, and my practice is inclusive of all folks who identify as women, of all cultural and ethnic backgrounds and ages.
I am passionate about empowering a refreshed feminine notion in a culture driven by oppressive gender norms, greed, and urgency.
Both in my private practice and group sessions, I encourage clients to expand their understanding, exchange ideas, and learn how to take embodied action toward a fuller and more meaningful life - personally, interpersonally, politically, and ecologically.
I have extensive training in the Tamalpa Life/Art Process®, having worked closely with co-founding director Daria Halprin at Esalen Institute. I am currently developing community-based work with women who, like myself, have faced breast cancer, as part of my final supervised field project.
I see private clients in Los Angeles, CA, and via Zoom; and offer women's workshops regularly in Santa Monica, CA.

Testimonial
"Working with Ana has been transformative. Initially, I sought to deepen my intuitive wisdom through somatic therapy and expressive arts. Since our first session, I've noticed a profound shift, becoming more attuned to somatic signals in my body.
Each session leaves a lasting impact, empowering me with practical somatic tools for self-reflection and healing. Ana's approach of integrating movement with dialogue allows for free expression without premature interpretation, leading to organic insights.
I've learned to trust the wisdom of my body, finding clarity and calmness amidst life's challenges. Ana's nurturing presence creates a safe environment, even in online sessions. This work provides practical solutions, simplifying action patterns and empowering me to navigate life guided by intuition and internal wisdom."
