About Me
Welcome! My name is Angelica De La Torre. I am a trailblazing peer advocate looking to partner with organizations that want their participants and staff to have access to a multitude of wellness discovery processes. I offer Breathwork and EFT sessions in group or one-on-one settings.
​
My heart is with youth advocacy, systems change, peer support, and trail-blazing new ground to better serve people who are stepping foot into their independence and overcoming obstacles they encounter. I found my voice as a foster youth and encountered what it meant to rise up together as peers and partners building community while navigating systems care to better serve transitional-aged youth at On the Move's VOICES Sonoma youth resource center in 2012. Through my own lived experience as a foster youth, I saw there was a need then to bring holistic healing experiences for people to discover multiple avenues of finding their path to healing. I vowed to bring more opportunities like these to explore self-discovery and develop tools along the way that everyone can take with them for whatever arises on their journey!
​
Since then I have participated in systemic change, implementation, reform and helped develop new programs in Sonoma County to support people involved in systems care to promote inclusivity and connection. I am also a Qualified Mental Health Associate and Peer Support Specialist trained in Trauma-Informed Care and Trauma- AWARE care. I became an EFT practitioner in 2017 and Breathwork Facilitator in 2023. All of this to say I persisted past the statistics that foster youth and homeless youth are overshadowed by growing up in foster care. I never forgot where I came from and what I had to do to get through it all.
Now I am finally in a place to give back to my community the missing pieces I never got. Which were the opportunities for self-discovery and exploration in a self-empowered wellness journey. It all starts from within.
My Philosophy
As a holistic practitioner, my services prioritize the connection between you and your own inner wisdom. I believe that the most important aspect of wellness is fostering a deeper connection with oneself first, which forms the foundation for lasting personal growth and overall well-being.
Through the transformative practices of breathwork and emotional freedom tapping technique, my approach is to facilitate individuals' self-directed discovery by co-creating the kind of space where clarity will emerge naturally from within. Where exploring your own inner world can lead to a deeper sense of empowered choice.
When growing up in foster care, choice, seemed impossible. Yet, when I was finally allowed to fully rest without people trying to inflict help or tell me my options, I was able to discover my very own choices which led me to a deeper knowing of my capabilities and areas I want to grow in my life.
My hope for our work together is that these modalities will bring you the same kind of relief where you can move into rest and repair somatically allowing the mind to quiet enough so you can hear your own inner wisdom that will guide you through any obstacles you are faced with.
