I'm a guide, holding the light so you can find the wisdom already within you. I won't try to fix you or tell you what your sensations mean. Instead, I offer steady presence and care, and I follow what feels safe to you the whole way through.
Callista Madrona Zuffelato, LMP
I am a breathwork facilitator and embodiment guide, a mother of two teens, an empowered empath, and a lover of hot springs and wildflowers.
I believe personal healing is an act of collective care. When we tend our own experiences with compassion, our hearts expand and we reconnect with each other and the Earth.
My path began young. As a highly sensitive child, I longed for peace. In my early teens, back in the 90s, I started a healing journey that led me into meditation, yoga, herbalism, and a lasting relationship with the natural world.
As my inner work deepened, I realized how disconnected I was from my own body. That disconnection showed up as panic and chronic health challenges, and it brought me into a deeper reckoning with embodiment and nervous system healing.
In 2001, I was introduced to 5Rhythms movement practice, and it became a turning point. It opened a decade-long journey of embodied healing and trauma release.
In 2005, I became a massage therapist but still, something felt incomplete. I wanted to engage the whole of human experience with my clients: body, mind, and spirit. That led me to study somatics at Fairhaven College, Western Washington University, where I began weaving all of these threads together.
After the early years of raising my children, breathwork and embodiment coaching came naturally. They brought together my personal healing, my professional training, and my lived experience.
Today my work is grounded, heart-centered, and trauma-aware. I support sensitive, self-aware people in reconnecting with their bodies, opening their hearts, and trusting the wisdom that lives within them.
