Hi everyone! Today, I’m beyond thrilled to welcome Luis Mojica to Enter the Portal! Luis is a somatic therapist, musician, and the founder of Holistic Life Navigation. In this episode, we dive deep into the magic of nervous system regulation, the power of somatic healing, and how food plays a crucial role in trauma recovery.

Luis shares his incredible journey—from his early days working in a health store to becoming a leader in trauma healing. He opens up about his personal struggles with nervous system dysregulation, including living with Tourette’s and how somatic practices helped him find peace. Along the way, we touch on the surprising benefits of nutrition in healing trauma. Find out why beans are a miracle food!

We also explore how ancestral trauma manifests in the body, and Luis offers simple yet powerful practices that can ground us and dramatically shift how we process pain.

Throughout the conversation, Luis emphasizes the importance of authenticity and staying connected to your truth in a world full of distractions. His vulnerability and commitment to guiding others toward self-healing make this episode an absolute must-listen for anyone looking to integrate somatic healing into their lives.

If you’re ready to explore how trauma shows up in your body and learn how to cultivate real connection and healing, this episode is for you.
