PEACE

No matter how you feel, know that there is someone out here to support you who understands what you are experiencing. Traumatic and challenging experiences can have a deep effect on our lives, and affect our body, mind and spirit. Trauma affects our nervous system, and mental state;  it informs the way we respond to life as a whole, at times keeping us stuck in toxic cycles and trauma responses of fight, flight, freeze or fawn.

I am living proof that we can find healing and thrive after trauma. 

Recognize and reclaim your  strength and true potential through gentle, mindful and regulated interventions that provide balance, healing and peace.

Every new day is another chance to change your life - release and heal

"Beyond her clear expertise, Santa is a deeply intuitive clinician who prioritizes the client's needs at every turn. She has a remarkable ability to read between the lines and navigate complex dynamics with both poise and precision. Her supportive approach helped me achieve a critical sense of alignment and purpose during a pivotal professional stage in my career. I highly recommend her services to any leader seeking a partner who brings both sharp professional insight, superb clinical skills, and total integrity to the therapeutic alliance."

"Santa is a godsend for my healing journey. Her focus is nervous system regulation — a total game-changer that impacts how I see and interact with myself and the world, for the better. Santa is patient and kind, never judgmental. She understands and can speak to systemic white supremacy and patriarchy, and that was necessary in order to identify and heal some of my hurts and trauma. Her aura is love and it permeates every session. I am forever grateful for her being, support, and guidance.

"When I first saw Santa, I recall feeling as if I was under so much pressure, I could not breathe. Since being in treatment, my quality of life has improved in every way. Not only have we dealt with my trauma, together we have examined events in my life and made connections to my thought processes and behaviors I never would have made on my own. As a result of working with Santa, I am living my life in ways I'd only wished for.

RUNNING THROUGH DARKNESS
MEMOIR OF A SPIRITUAL WARRIOR
BY SANTA MOLINA-MARSHALL ‧ RELEASE DATE: MAY 3, 2022

This debut memoir chronicles a woman’s spiritual exploration and growth as she overcame a disturbing childhood and helped others heal.

Brought to America from the Dominican Republic as a youngster, Molina-Marshall should have led a happy life. Her father was a diligent worker, and his large family wanted for nothing. But the author recounts that her dad had a drinking problem and was a serial philanderer. Molina-Marshall’s long-suffering mother left him for a woman. Then it was all downhill for the bright, 12-year-old girl, who was shuttled between foster care and relatives. According to the author, she was sexually abused by the husband of one of her siblings. This resulted in Molina-Marshall becoming alienated and moody. By 15, she simply tried to survive. In her favor were grit and a restless intelligence. She quit school, rented a room, and found a factory job. Time went by, and for a while she was happily married. Yet when her husband left her, her life truly began. She turned to religion for answers but decided that blaming God for her woes was a cop-out. 

In this absorbing and moving memoir, Molina-Marshall’s vivid storytelling is fearless. She frankly discusses the truths she discovered and the indignities she suffered. These admissions are disclosed with a touch of resignation and plenty of bite. However painful, everything she experienced was a lesson, and she bravely realized that she was part of the problem: “The fear of being hurt, rejected, or abused often led to me feeling lonely and misunderstood. No one knew the agonizing pain I felt being trapped in my thoughts and anger. I was becoming my biggest threat.” 

The author skillfully recounts her intricate spiritual journey. To deal with her psychic wounds, she searched for an inspirational system. Her open-mindedness led her to the interfaith concept—cherry-picking from various religions and spiritual movements, yoga, and Indigenous beliefs as a way of finding peace. Along with her female partner, she built a therapy practice, making use of every spiritual element that aided her and others. The road was bumpy, and she found that women of color in same-sex relationships were not welcomed everywhere. To do good works—and finally live on her own terms—she effectively overcame bigotry.

An engrossing, cathartic account of empathy and success through determination and confidence.
