Hi, I'm Alba (she, hers, ella), one of your externs at CAPS.
About me:
- I identify as female, Latina, and an international student.
- I'm in the Mental Health and Rehabilitation Counseling Program (MA) at UArizona.
- My hometown is Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico.
- I'm a graduate student and international student.
- My dream job is to facilitate retreats around the world.
- I enjoy yoga, meditation, scuba diving, traveling, reading, sandboarding, paddleboarding, snowboarding, and event planning.
My professional background and interests:
I have multiple years of experience teaching yoga, mindfulness, and somatic practices with a focus on trauma and mental wellness. I'm a Mindful Abassador at the University of Arizona and facilitate welcoming, healing, uplifting somatic practice spaces for college students. I also co-facilitate wellness retreats for women who have been through difficult times (grief).
I have collected many tools from my degrees and certifications at Mexico, Canada, and the US. My professional interests include anxiety and depression management, somatic-based psycho-therapeutic approaches, mindfulness-based approaches (ACT, DBT), professional burn-out prevention, and chronic health survivors.
