DESIREE RUVALCABA
Energy Healing & Intuitive Guidance
Hi there! I appreciate you for taking the time to learn more about me. My name is Desiree. I am deeply connected to my empathy and value depth in relationships. People are usually drawn to my ability to intuitively connect and hold space while they share their unique stories and deepest values.
​
I place a high value in creating a safe, nurturing space for people to fully express themselves, sharing their thoughts and emotions freely, as they start to feel a sense of validation, love, support, and connection.
​
I believe that healing is a journey that takes time and dedication to reach a desired state. I also believe that healing does not have to be done solely through the depths of sorrow, turmoil, rage and despair. It can also be achieved through expressions of love, wonder, joy and laughter.
As we release layers of pain and fear, we begin to unveil the truth of our existence, cultivating a stronger sense of self and purpose in life.
​
From my experience, it has helped to receive guidance from someone we can relate to, especially those who have had similar experiences and hardships in life. Feel free to read about my background below.
as i healed from many of my health conditions and experienced life-changing transformations, i started to develop a passion to help others do the same.
LGBTQIA+ OWNED, ASIAN-OWNED AND WOMAN-OWNED
MY EMPATHIC NATURE
As a child, I was highly attuned to the energy within and around me. I sensed things in such deep ways which allowed me to see the world in all its complexities. However, I struggled to manage and express what I was feeling, as I lacked the guidance to fully process my experiences. Over time, I became increasingly hesitant to let anyone in and feared coming out the shell that I built to keep me from feeling unsafe. I was highly aware of energetic shifts, misalignments and discord. I understood what was 'acceptable or unacceptable' through energy before words and actions. Since my behavior was often misunderstood and unsupported, I learned to deny my true self and empathic abilities in order to function "normally".
FAMILY SYSTEM​​
My family’s values were rooted in survival, intellect, and financial success. I was pushed to meet high standards, which influenced my drive for greater knowledge and success. I was taught to "fall in line", a lesson that kept me out of trouble and helped me understand what has already been in place. Though, I came to realize that I was lacking emotional support and longed for the freedom to express myself creatively and fluidly, existing outside of the ordinary and beyond limitation. I desired to nurture and be nurtured. I desired to explore deeper knowledge and truths - realms no one really knew about or were afraid to face.
​​
RELATIONSHIP DYNAMIC
​When it came to relationships, I sensed the light in others which allowed me to keep my heart open and see beyond certain behaviors. It fueled my ability to maintain a state of compassion and inner hope. Though, I severely lacked boundaries. I gave a whole lot of 'excuses'. I was always there to help people feel safe, yet often felt used and taken for granted. I faced bullying, emotionally unavailable partners and one-sided friendships, consistently neglecting my own needs to meet the needs of others.
​​
SEXUAL ABUSE, RELIGION & HEALTH CHALLENGES
During the middle of my childhood, I experienced sexual abuse from someone whom my family trusted. As a teenager, I developed high levels of anxiety with occasional panic attacks and depression with suicidal ideations. I also left the Catholic church and redefined my sexuality. In my 20s, my physical health gradually declined with digestive, thyroid, skin and many other undiagnosed conditions). At the same time, I began challenging myself to break free from the limitations I've placed on myself due to the expectations of others, society, and culture.
​​
SELF-EXPLORATION & PURPOSE
After experiencing years of ineffective healing methods through Western medicine, I took charge of my own healing journey and started exploring nutrition, physical science and Eastern philosophy. At 28 years old, I experienced a incredibly painful traumatic event that, in hindsight, became a blessing that sparked my awakening, encouraging me to reconnect with my gifts and introducing me to spirituality and energy medicine. As I healed from many of my conditions and experienced life-changing transformations, I felt a deep calling to help others do the same.
