About Raquel Minh
I'm a global tumbleweed woven from roots around the world.
​
Mexican and Vietnamese, born in the United States, and residing in Aotearoa New Zealand. On a journey of reclaiming indigenous ancestry.
A trauma-informed facilitator, plant medicine guide, and yoga teacher. I often contemplate, how did I get here?
​
I experienced an adverse childhood resulting in CPTSD. I began studying psychology in university at the same time I started experimenting with plant medicine. I moved into a gentler yoga practice after a decade of being a competitive athlete. Then opened a yoga studio which led me down the path of teaching with a trauma-aware perspective.
Through an embodied approach, my healing path has been a consistent practice of diving deeper into movement, breath, and psychedelic realms. I'm honored to walk alongside you.
I’m passionate about creating spaces to support mind, body and spirit journeys through a trauma-informed approach.
​
Experience ancient and indigenous practices to honor our connection with our ancestors alongside somatic practices to create more resilient nervous systems.
Your self-agency, empowerment, and transformation is my priority.
