About Me
I am Yazmín Chagoya Ávila, a psychologist, therapist, and above all, a woman in constant transformation. My path has been as human as it is sacred: I have gone through grief, loss, abortions, motherhood, migrations, breakups, and rebirths. Everything I share today is born from lived experience and a radical commitment to my own life narrative.
My project, Yaztasplena, arises from a deep yearning: to guide other people in their emotional, spiritual, and bodily processes, from a place of compassion, presence, and truth.
Learn more about me...My personal story begins in Mexico, in a home marked by emotional complexity and violence. At 17, the murder of my first boyfriend forged in me a deep need to seek answers. After years in the corporate world, motherhood, grief, and migration led me to redefine my life, beginning my training in psychology.
I am certified in: Psychology with a focus on trauma and addictions, Compassionate Inquiry Therapy (Dr. Gabor Maté), Therapeutic and Evolutionary Astrology, Aerial and Senior Yoga, and Body, Somatic, and Archetypal Work.
My personal spiritual practice includes Magnified Healing, medicinal plants, Buddhism, and devotion to Kuan Yin, the Buddha of Compassion. I believe in a living psychology that embraces both science and the sacred. I guide you not to fit in, but to reconcile with yourself and live from your authenticity.
