Lorena Herrera
Trauma-Informed Reiki Master
Curanderisma Practitioner
Lorena is a trauma-informed Reiki Master and Curanderisma practitioner who bridges ancient healing lineages to support your unique wellness journey. Her practice blends the gentle, harmonizing flow of Usui Reiki with the profound clearing power of traditional Mesoamerican curanderismo.
Experiencing the deep benefits of Reiki firsthand inspired Lorena to dedicate herself to the art of energetic healing. As a graduate of the Reiki Intensive Training Course with an extensive background in interpersonal support and care, she brings heightened empathy, safety, and understanding to every session.
Through sacred spiritual cleansings (limpias) and energetic sweepings (barridas), Lorena actively helps release stagnant energy, emotional blocks, and heavy external influences.
