Luis Mojica

Luis Mojica is a Somatic Educator, Trauma Therapist & Nutritionist. His own painful journey with PTSD & chronic illness led him to develop his own unique form of therapy called Holistic Life Navigation. It combines whole food nutrition, Somatic Experiencing, & self-inquiry and is an effective modality to help heal stress & trauma. He teaches online courses, is an assistant trainer for Peter Levine’s Somatic Experiencing International workshops, and is the host of The Holistic Life Navigation Podcast. He comes to this work from a decolonial lens and with the belief that the body is a being that we can learn how to communicate to and live with, rather than dominate and override. He lives in the Catskill mountains with his family, cats, and the beautiful mountain beings.
