Awareness and Flow

“For over a decade I have been searching for the best ways to educate the brain’s empathic or “default mode” network. I have found that Gestalt provides the most powerful, and also the most comprehensive, training program. Gestalt reaches the parts of the brain that traditional education overlooks: the brain’s function core that is essential for resilience, motivation, well-being and consciousness. If you will let it, Gestalt has the power to transform your brain and your life.” 

Tony Jack PhD, Principal Investigator of Brain, Mind & Consciousness Laboratory 

What is Gestalt Coaching?

Gestalt is a German word that means ‘configuration’ or ‘whole’ and in coaching, the emphasis is on the coach relating to you as a whole person, full of possibility. As a Gestalt coach embraces a holistic approach to understanding human experience and fostering growth, recognizing the interconnection between thoughts, feelings, behaviors, perceptions and spirit. We invite you to experience yourself more fully in the present moment facilitating self-awareness.

“Hola, mi nombre es Luis. Decidí explorar Gestalt coaching gracias a la recomendación de un gran amigo, y lo que he experimentado ha sido como una aventura hacia lo más profundo de mis emociones y de la conexión con mi cuerpo. He aprendido a percibir cómo se siente mi cuerpo y cómo reacciona ante las experiencias de mi vida diaria. Aunque solo he tenido la oportunidad de tomar seis sesiones en estos dos meses, en este breve tiempo he logrado verme de una manera nueva. 

He tenido conversaciones profundas con mi niño interior, he comenzado a sanar mi relación con mi madre y con las mujeres que han sido parte de mi vida. También he empezado a comprender el origen de mis miedos y a conocerme de una forma que me permite tomar control sobre mi energía y mis emociones. 

El aprendizaje más valioso que me llevo de estas sesiones es el poder de la respiración: la capacidad de relajarme, sentir cada parte de mi cuerpo y, desde ahí, tomar control sobre lo que siento y entender por qué lo siento. Gracias, Diana, por esta hermosa experiencia.”

K. S

“No era muy amiga de hacer terapia o coaching virtual; pensaba que cuando tenia que ver con salud, una sesion o cita presencial era mas eficiente para mi. Yo venia haciendo Gestalt coaching con Diana, pero tenia que pasar una temporada larga en Venezuela y lo puse en pausa. Como este caminar que llamamos vida tiene sus altos y bajos, estando en Caracas, me abri a la posibilidad de trabajar con Diana en linea. Ahora puedo dar fe, que la opcion en linea es igual de beneficiosa; Diana se entrega en un acto de servicio igual de amoroso, empatico, con resultados y avance como si realmente compartieramos el mismo espacio.”

“Diana es una excelente profesional. Las sesiones de Gestalt con ella son un espacio de atención plena y contacto profundo con el presente. En sus sesiones, brinda un entorno libre de juicios, donde la escucha atenta y el respeto crean un ambiente de confianza y crecimiento.”

E.M

“En mi camino de desarrollo personal, he conocido a diferentes terapeutas, y en mi búsqueda de un espacio donde mi racionalidad pudiera hacer una pausa para escucharme, encontré la terapia Gestalt en manos de Diana. Esta terapia es una invitación a entablar una conversación con tu corazón, a escucharte y a encontrar las respuestas que ya están dentro de ti.

Después de ocho sesiones, logré aliviar aquellas congojas que no podía explicar con palabras y darle forma a situaciones que no había mirado antes. Con la guía de Diana, recordé que las respuestas viven en nosotros mismos y que solo necesitamos escucharlas.

Al principio, me costó salir de la estructura de las terapias basadas en mucha conversación para abrirme a una donde el sentir es la llave para descubrirte y conectarte. Sin embargo, bajo la guía magistral de Diana, es posible llegar tan profundo como estés dispuesto a mirarte y entregarte a la conexión contigo mismo.”
