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 importance 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, requiring patience, 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 or had similar values, patterns and hardships in life. Feel free to read more about my story 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.
MY EMPATHIC NATURE
As a child, I was highly attuned to the energy within and around me. I sensed things in such deep ways that 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 as I felt unsafe quite often. 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 to avoid feeling rejected and outcasted by family, culture and society. Though, I have always carried a rebel heart that refused to conform which I embodied later in life.
FAMILY SYSTEM​​
My family’s values were rooted in survival, intellect, and financial success. I was pushed to meet high academic 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 the systems that had already been in place. Though, I came to realize that I was lacking the emotional support and freedom to express myself more authentically and creatively. I low-key wanted to exist outside of the ordinary and move beyond limitation. I desired to nurture and be nurtured with deep connection and intimacy. I desired to explore deeper knowledge and truths - realms no one cared to know about or were afraid to face.
​​
RELATIONSHIP DYNAMIC
In relationships, I sensed the light in people which allowed me to keep my heart open and see beyond the surface. It fueled my ability to maintain compassion and inner hope. Though, I severely lacked boundaries. I excused a lot of unruly behaviors. I was always there to help people feel safe, yet often felt unsafe, used and taken for granted. I faced bullying, emotionally unavailable partners and one-sided friendships as a result of consistently neglecting my own needs to please others - opportunities to learn my true value and standing strong in my authentic expression.
​​
SEXUAL ABUSE, SEXUALITY, RELIGION & HEALTH
During the middle of my childhood, I experienced sexual abuse for a period of time. 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 - digestive, thyroid, skin and many other undiagnosed conditions. At this time, I also began challenging limiting systems and my need to seek external validation.
​​
SELF-EXPLORATION & PURPOSE
After experiencing years of ineffective healing methods and distrust Western medicine, I took charge of my own healing journey and started exploring approaches of nutrition, physical science and Eastern philosophy. At 28 years old, I experienced a incredibly painful traumatic event that sparked my initial spiritual awakening, reconnecting with my gifts & abilities and delving deep into the practice of 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.
