Austin Romero

I start by getting to know the person I am working with: why they are seeking support, what has brought them to this point and what they hope to explore.

I prefer open conversation rather than applying the same structure to everyone.

I listen, ask questions and offer my perspective where I think it may be useful, while leaving the person free to understand their experience in their own way.

I do not assume that every difficult experience needs to be solved or that every insight needs to be acted on immediately.

I work with adults aged 18+ in person at The Huachuma Project and online by appointment.

My approach is based on what I have learned through my own experiences and years of working with people in retreat settings.

Preparation is important because expectations, personal circumstances and the reasons someone is seeking this kind of experience can all influence how they approach it.

During the work itself, I try not to over-direct or impose an interpretation. I stay present, pay attention to what is happening and offer support when it is wanted or needed.

Integration is a major part of how I work.

After a significant experience, I encourage people to take time before drawing conclusions. We can look at what came up, what feels meaningful, what may simply need more time, and whether there is anything they want to approach differently in everyday life.

I do not promise transformation, healing or particular outcomes. My role is to offer preparation, perspective, clear boundaries and ongoing support while people make their own sense of their experience.
