The Path of a Wounded Healer
My name is Cristal, and I call myself a wounded healer. This title comes not from weakness but from transformation. My own life has been marked by pain, challenge, and deep introspection. These experiences became my teachers, guiding me to alchemize suffering into wisdom. Through this process of turning wounds into purpose, I have dedicated my path to learning healing modalities that help others awaken to their highest selves. I believe healing is not about fixing what is broken but remembering the wholeness that already exists within. My role is to empower others to access the tools they already carry. The practices I share—yoga, meditation, sound healing, breathwork, womb work, and attachment awareness—are all gateways to self-discovery and transformation. The Journey Through Yoga Yoga has been a constant companion for over twenty years. It began as a way to calm my mind and connect with my body, but it soon revealed itself as a profound spiritual practice. Yoga is a mirror: it reflects our balance, resistance, and strength, while showing us where growth is possible. A few years ago, after decades of personal practice, I chose to become a certified yoga teacher. This step was not about teaching postures but about sharing a way of life. I have guided adults, children, and individuals with special needs, and I have witnessed yoga’s accessibility and universality. Each class is a reminder that yoga is truly for everyone. Yoga grounds us in presence. It reconnects body and mind, teaching us to breathe through discomfort and embrace stillness. Far beyond physical movement, yoga offers a pathway into deeper awareness and integration. The Power of Sound Sound healing has become another essential part of my work. All existence vibrates at a frequency, and our bodies are no different. When our natural vibration is disrupted—by stress, trauma, or imbalance—we feel disconnected. Sound healing restores harmony by bringing us back into resonance. Through crystal bowls, gongs, and other instruments, sound bypasses the analytical mind and works directly with the body on a cellular level. People often describe these experiences as soothing, yet the healing is far deeper. Sound helps release stagnation, ease anxiety, and open new channels for transformation. It reminds us that we are energetic beings as much as physical ones.
