I offer trauma-conscious mindfulness and body- based practices.

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 mindfulness and body-based practitioner.

I create and hold spaces with kindness, presence, and curiosity, always honoring the wisdom and knowledge everyone already carries within.

Offerings

My personal mindfulness and somatic practice is woven into my everyday life and work. I always try to approach these practices with flexibility, curiosity, and a sense of flow. To me, it is not about bypassing challenging realities, but about bringing awareness and compassion to our experience in our own bodies and in the world at large. I believe in the importance of bringing a sense of humor, playfulness, and wonder into these spaces.

I’ve learned that it is important to know when to laugh and when to set healthy boundaries to create a structured yet caring environment.

Individual & Collective
Support

I collaborate with individuals, groups, and organizations, sharing the experience and tools I've learned along my journey. Every process is crafted with care and becomes a gentle co-creation, honoring the unique needs and context of each person or group. 

Here are some of the areas where I can provide support:​

  • Fertility journeys

  • Endometriosis 

  • Trauma

  • Anxiety 

  • Overall well-being

Trauma Care Mindfulness & Body Based Practices

In every session, I incorporate mindfulness and body-based (somatic) practices to help individuals discover simple moments to re-ground and pause through gentle, body-centered practices that nurture their nervous systems and promote restoration.

My approach is rooted in trauma conscious care and cultural humility. 

Some of the practices include:

  • Meditation

  • Breathwork

  • Mindful movement

  • Somatic practices 

  • Rituals

  • Storytelling

  • Ancestral and lineage work

TO COME

My Story

Before I understood trauma through theory or training, I knew it through my body. Early experiences of loss, displacement, and chronic stress shaped my nervous system long before I had tools to meet them.

This lived knowing is the foundation of my work today, alongside years of study, practice, and community-based experience

This work is informed by the places I come from, the communities I’ve worked alongside, and the realities my body has lived through.

Growing up in Colombia and later building a life in New York shaped my understanding of care, resilience, and what it means to heal in context. These experiences continue to guide how I listen, how I show up, and how I accompany others.

Learn more about me

Fifteen years of practice across community work, mindfulness, and trauma-conscious care in Colombia and the U.S.

  • To deepen my own practice, I’ve spent time in silence and in community at Plum Village, Blue Cliff Monastery, Omega Institute, and Garrison Institute, among others. My personal process with Alejandra Montes from Maternar Ser has been a steady anchor, and the somatic work I did with Corasoma in Colombia allowed me to engage in a profound exploration of my lineage and inner child with honesty and care.

  • My academic path began in Political Science and led to a Master’s in Peace Education from Columbia University in New York City.

    I’m trained and certified through organizations including Lineage Project, Mindful Schools, Breathe International, and Respira (Colombia), and have completed an eight-week MBSR program with Instituto EsMindfulness (Barcelona).

    I’m a 200-hour certified yoga teacher and have trained in Somatic Experiencing, Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness (David Treleaven), and Cultural Somatics (Resmaa Menakem). On September 28, 2025, I began the online Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy certificate program with Embody Lab.

  • In Colombia, 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 Latinx 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, and Keralty Compassionate Communities, and accompany individuals on their self-care journeys.

A gentle invitation

If you’re longing for a space to slow down, feel supported, and reconnect with yourself, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
