Welcome, I’m Kimberly Escamilla, and I’m glad you are here. I’m happy to use Substack to weave my worlds (trauma healing, writing, parenting and living in the jungle) together. And, to support folks along the way. In 2021, we received an eviction notice from our nine year rental in El Granada, California. In that 60 day period our lives forever changed as we uprooted and moved our family to Costa Rica. I realize now that many events before that moment were at play to pave our way here to this little fishing village called Cabuya. Years before our move, we had vacationed to Costa Rica after a canceled study abroad trip. We processed the loss of a child. After getting pregnant again and having a healthy son, he was later also diagnosed with autism. Michael was diagnosed with stage 3 rectal cancer and all the treatments. I committed to my own trauma healing, and so much more.
So if you are interested in fresh takes on somatic healing, neuroscience for the layperson, conscious parenting, raising special needs kids (adult and ten years old), living in Costa Rica, the Gateless Writing method, Breathwork, poetry, memoir and essay writing, teaching and learning from college students, then whew, this is the spot for you. 💜
