8 1.5 hour virtual sessions
we agree on a schedule
Our group holds space for the history, grief, and silence the women in our lineages have lived through and assess what we are still carrying. Step into your Ser.
We explore ways in which the 4 elements support us and how to soften to Madre Tierra as a co-regulator. We use somatic approaches to awaken your inner ancestor and sharpen your intuition.
We honor the 4 directions and our ancestral guides as a deeper intuitive knowing.
If you feel overwhelmed by always doing, giving and perfecting, we feel you! Marianismo wounds look like people pleasing and perfectionism as a great resource to survive. Now let’s build a safe home for our inner child to come home to and thrive in. We address root issues and support your bloom.
“The counterpart to machismo is marianismo, which is a set of values and expectations concerning female gender roles. Marianismo emphasizes the role of women as family- and home-centered; it encourages passivity, self-sacrifice, and chastity” (Gil & Velazquez, 1996; Niemann, 2004). This is a deeper dive into the impacts of Marianismo on the physical health of femmes in our roots and how it impacts our daily lives and relationships now.
Marianismo is a term coined by Chicano Scholars to give inclusive language to the values in our culture that are rooted in religion and patriarchy. When we live out these values they become a behavior and create a code in our DNA that is passed down to us as our epigenetics.
This could look like being the caregiver, the giver, the one that care for everyone first and themselves last (if at all). This value was a virtue in our ancestor’s era as it was a skill to survive. This virtue benefitted capitalism at the cost of one’s physical, emotional and spiritual body.
This group addresses OUR root trauma around colonization and the attachment and scarcity that has created in us. We unpack our mother’s wounds and re-pair false beliefs created out of toxic stress responses. We practice self forgiveness and grace through somatic and soft approaches .
Healing is not just a personal journey, it’s a collective one deeply rooted in indigenous wisdom and practices. This program honors the traditions and knowledge passed down through generations, focusing on intergenerational trauma within Latinx and marginalized communities.
Our virtual healing circles and 1:1 coaching offers the tools and support you need to heal past wounds, reconnect with your true self, and improve your relationships. By integrating indigenous practices, we tap into a rich source of healing that respects and elevates our ancestral heritage.
My Marianismo: Unburdening Myself is the only space of its kind because the framework is curated by Cynthia Perez after research, ancestral wisdom and career experience working with our cultura to embody the healing work.
Join a community of like-minded people who are also on their path to healing and growth. Our virtual sessions are designed to provide a safe and supportive environment where we can explore our inner worlds and reclaim our joy together.
We focus on creating spaces that honor joy, creativity, and compassion, ensuring our approach is inclusive and culturally respectful.
Let’s honor our ancestors, heal our present, and build a better future for generations to come.

About Cynthia Perez
I’m Cynthia Alonzo Perez, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience in the mental health and wellness field. My mission is to create compassionate spaces where individuals can heal intergenerational trauma, reconnect with their authentic selves, and practice self-compassion.
I believe in the power of joy, creativity, and cultural wisdom as pathways to healing. My programs are designed to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your inner world, uncover your inherent strengths, and transform your life. I incorporate a variety of modalities such as sound, senses, play, journaling, guided visualization, and ceremonial platica to facilitate deep healing.
“These workshops allow me to grow as a clinician and as a person. I look forward to attending other trainings”
“I really appreciated this space. I feel like I had the opportunity to revisit and address aspects of my childhood and identity that were previously neglected. I feel better able to identify areas in need of improvement and am more open to personal growth.”
“Unlearning with my Inner Child has been the healing I didn’t know I need. Cynthia’s approach and creativity made this a space I looked forward to every week.”
Here’s What You Can Expect Each Week
We start with our colonized roots and the feelings surrounding these experiences. We hold space for epigenetic protection and our ancestor’s journey to survial and how we mirror these deep roots.
Understanding our Legacy Burdens and the protectors we created to survive are key pieces to building more awareness. We practice empathy for our lack and embody the safety we seek.
Participate in healing rituals that incorporate indigenous practices. Engage in a ceremonial platica to share stories and wisdom, and use journaling prompts to process and release emotional burdens.
We aren’t just our historical trauma, we are our legacy gifts and our divine magic. Let’s claim our gifts and release the knee jerk reaction to shrink, be humble, or minimize our wonderful legacy gift, our leaves.
Use guided visualizations and our senses to unblock our ancestral legacy resources and tap into our most authentic self. This is strengthening our epigenetic flow and building our emotional capacity.
We build our medicine bag for our personal rituals and repair.
Celebrating our essence, our shapeshifting, our ability to create magic out of mud! We honor our growth and our gifts as our rose to protect.
Prepare for the future by setting clear intentions for ongoing healing and growth.
We understand that taking the first step towards healing can be daunting. You might be wondering if this program is the right fit for you, if you have the time, or if you will truly see the benefits. Let us address these concerns head-on:
We meet twice a month for 2 hours. Our sessions are designed to fit into your busy schedule while providing maximum impact. You’ll also have access to resources and journal prompts to work on at your own pace. This structure ensures that even the busiest individuals can participate and benefit from the program.
Our approach is grounded in proven methods and tailored to marginalized communities. Hear from others who have transformed their lives through our program and see the change for yourself. Our program blends psychosocial science, epigenetics, and indigenous practices, ensuring a holistic healing experience.
Healing can be challenging, but you won’t be alone. Our supportive community and compassionate guidance ensure you have the support you need every step of the way. We create a safe space for you to explore and heal, with the assurance that your well-being is our top priority.
We believe that healing should be accessible to everyone. That’s why we offer flexible payment plans to fit your budget. You can choose to pay in installments, making it easier to manage the cost.
