Karina & Juan

One opens, the other holds. Together, one sound.

Karina Ríos

Founder, sound therapist

After more than 27 years accompanying women through transformation, Karina found sound therapy as a natural continuation of that work. Certified by the Instituto de Sonoterapia Española under Marianela Ortiz, she holds spaces where sound becomes gentle medicine and presence opens a path toward healing.

Juan Saer

Co-facilitator, holistic therapist

Juan's work begins with nervous system regulation and the safety that allows a person to open. A father and gentle guardian by temperament, he is certified in the Chivuday-Hai method under Marianela Ortiz. He works with sound, conscious breathwork, and the body's quiet points, giving himself fully through the deep resonance of his gongs.

Nervous system regulation, breathwork
Together they hold a dance between the feminine and the masculine that doesn't settle on one side. At times one opens what the other cradles, at times one guides while the other holds.

Before the first gong

Safety first. Then softening.

Deep, sustained sound gives the body a signal it rarely receives: nothing is asked of you here. When the nervous system reads safety, it can stand down. What has been held has room to open.
