“MY MOTHER´S HEART IS IN MY STOMACH”
IN 2023 I WOKE UP FROM AN INTENSE DREAM AND WROTE THAT IN MY JOURNAL AND THEN, I ALLOWED MYSELF TO GRIEVE AS A CEREMONY OF SELF LOVE.
There are parts of yourself you stopped showing people a long time ago. Maybe it was safer that way. Maybe no one asked to see them. Maybe you forgot they were there.
They didn’t forget you.
This group is where you turn toward them. Four Monday evenings with Cynthia Perez, LCSW, dedicated to the practice of inner child connection — through guided visualizations, ancestral wisdom, creative play, and the kind of softness that actually heals. You don’t need to have it figured out. You just need to show up.
Inner child healing is not just a hype word.
It is a loving, transformative way to practice self-compassion and repair core moments from your childhood with inner resources and light energy from guided inner child meditations.
In this group, we soften. We expand our capacity to hold more love for ourselves by seeing ourselves through the eyes of our inner child.
We center decolonial work and detaching from systems and social constructs — for your highest good. Your inner child needs to feel safe to do that. And you are that safety. You always have been. You know them like no one else, because they are you and you are them.
There are parts of yourself you haven’t shown anyone out of fear. The truth is, you are the one your inner child has been waiting to be seen by. You have everything you need. We walk through this together, but your story with your inner child is yours — and it’s beautiful.
WHO THIS IS FOR:
YOU! Adults wanting to drop the people pleasing, the good child burden handed to them and soften to their own re-parenting. This is for male and female identifying, non-binary and trans indentifying, queer persons, empty nesters wanting a better relationship with their kids through their own self-growth, new parents struggling with childhood triggers, professionals facing burnout due to perfectionism protectors. If you have been wanting to have more time iwth your truest self, we would love to have you.

I’m Cynthia, founder of Rooted in Reflection. As a first-generation licensed clinical therapist and storyteller, it is important for me to have conversations around healing intergenerational trauma through the inner child and inner ancestor.
I believe in building a community where we honor joy, creativity, and cultural heritage.
