What does La Querencia offer for the individual?

An intuitive and eclectic approach integrating sound, traditional psychology (Jungian and Taoist principles) as well as Native American influences, all of which facilitate your own awareness, humor, growth and balance.

The Spanish word "Querencia" does not translate easily into English, but it roughly means the "power of place," it expresses the feeling of being at home, or a "wholeness." At La Querencia, clients can learn about themselves, and their strengths and weaknesses, in a relaxed atmosphere that is non-confrontational and non-judgmental.

One's own sense of place will be discovered more quickly and effortlessly in the neutral environment of Nature.
