Family Constellation Therapy — Online & In Person in Quito
Family constellation therapy, developed by Bert Hellinger, is an experiential therapeutic method that reveals the hidden loyalties and transgenerational traumas shaping your life today. In an individual or group session, your family system is 'set up' in space so that you can see the entanglements operating below conscious awareness. This process is especially powerful for people experiencing repetitive relationship patterns, self-sabotage, unexplained grief, or a persistent sense of not-belonging. Family constellation therapy sessions are available in person in Quito and online for clients throughout Ecuador and worldwide.
Therapies & Services
Each session is tailored to you. Ana Karina draws from multiple modalities to meet what you are actually working with.
Family Constellations
Healing inherited family patterns
Developed by Bert Hellinger, Family Constellations reveals hidden loyalties and unconscious dynamics that are carried across generations. In a session, your family system is 'set up' in space — using representatives or symbols — so you can see the entanglements that have shaped your life. What emerges often explains relationship patterns, self-sabotage, chronic illness, grief, or a sense of not-belonging that felt inexplicable before. Ana Karina holds a Master's in this modality.
Transpersonal Psychotherapy
Psychology that includes the whole person
Transpersonal Psychology goes beyond conventional therapy to include spiritual, emotional, and existential dimensions of human experience. Sessions combine transformative dialogue with systematic bodywork — the body holds what the mind has protected itself from. This approach is especially effective for identity crises, existential anxiety, trauma, burnout, and those navigating major life transitions. Ana Karina holds a Psychology degree from a Canadian university with specialization in the transpersonal framework.
Hatha & Biomechanics Yoga
Somatic release through conscious movement
Yoga as therapy goes far beyond flexibility. Ana Karina teaches Hatha yoga with a biomechanical lens — each posture is adapted to your physical structure, injury history, and emotional holding patterns. The practice helps release stored tension in the body's connective tissue, improve postural alignment, and restore the communication between nervous system and musculature that chronic stress disrupts. Sessions are private, one-on-one, and developed for your specific needs.
Rakiram & Radiant Table Therapy
Ancient energy-channeling for subtle body balance
Rakiram and Radiant Table Therapy are energy-based healing modalities that work with the body's subtle fields — the electromagnetic and biofield dimensions that modern science is increasingly documenting, and that indigenous healing traditions have worked with for millennia. These sessions aim to clear energetic blockages, restore flow, and bring the system into coherence. They are often experienced as deeply relaxing and clarifying — many clients describe feeling lighter and more centered after a single session.
Ayurvedic Coaching
Preventive health through your unique constitution
Ayurveda, the 5,000-year-old Indian system of preventive medicine, understands health as the expression of your unique constitution (dosha). Ana Karina assesses your dosha type and designs a personalized protocol covering diet, daily routines, herbs, and lifestyle adjustments that align with your nature. This is not generic wellness advice — it is a map designed specifically for your physiology. Ayurvedic coaching is particularly effective for chronic fatigue, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, insomnia, and general depletion.
Drawing Therapy
The body speaks through image what words cannot hold
Drawing therapy uses spontaneous image-making as a bridge to the unconscious. You do not need to be an artist — the practice is not about aesthetics. When language fails — when something is too complex, too early, or too raw to articulate — drawing offers a different channel. Clients are guided to draw freely, then explore what emerged through therapeutic conversation. This modality is especially useful for trauma that has no clear narrative, childhood experiences, and emotional states that feel 'stuck' or unnamed.
Integrative Community Therapy (TCI)
Resilience, self-esteem, and belonging through shared healing
TCI is a group-based therapeutic approach developed in Brazil that uses community wisdom, shared storytelling, and collective support as healing resources. Rather than focusing on pathology, it focuses on strengths — what the group already knows and has survived. Sessions are facilitated by Ana Karina and designed to build resilience, strengthen self-esteem, and restore a sense of belonging and mutual support. This is an excellent format for families, communities, workplace groups, and retreat participants seeking group integration.
Ceremony Preparation & Integration
Before and after plant medicine — the container that holds the work
Plant medicine is not the whole journey — the preparation before and integration after are what determine how much of what surfaced actually lands and becomes change. Ana Karina offers dedicated one-on-one sessions for people preparing for ceremony (setting clear intentions, clearing contraindications, understanding what the medicine may bring up) and for integration after (processing what occurred, making meaning from it, and applying insight to daily life). These sessions are available independently of retreats.
