ABOUT
Hi, I'm Adrienne
Adrienne Lopez, MA, CHT, RYT
Integrative Healing Coach, Somatic Practitioner, and Energy Healer
I am committed to raising of consciousness so that we can create a regenerative relationship to our planet. One the ways I do this is through my work mentor individuals and groups in re-integrating the different aspects of their consciousness, body, emotions, mind, and soul, that have become disowned, repressed, or fragmented at no fault of their own. It is a product of survival and adaptive stress response in the nervous system. However, this causes life energy, pure potential, to become frozen and stuck in the past.
Part of this is clearing the "storehouse" of in-form-a-tion (individual and generational) that has been inevitably imprinted on the unconscious mind through conditioning. This unprocessed psycho-spiritual material causes restriction and ultimately prevents the human organism from truly optimizing its design most completely.
As a coach and mentor, I offer tools and practices to support you in clearing core issues not often available through talk therapy, because they are below the level of the conscious mind doing the speaking. To do this, I work collaboratively with you to develop a personal action plan, to effectively guide you to achieve results, from the most expansive model of consciousness available--the quantum realm. It's effective because it includes the larger context of our existence that holds the power a co-creator. This shift in perspective, re-orientates your center of gravity, making new possibilities suddenly become available. Using a range of healing modalities to promote complete wellness on levels of your being, I support you in holding the space to make positive changes in those "stuck" areas of your life.

​
I am a spiritual explorer, currently residing in Portland, Oregon but have traveled widely. I've been called to visit different countries, from Asia to Europe and Central America. My sense of adventure has also been extremely nourishing for my soul!
Over the last 30 years, I've also been called on an internal, self-healing journey, coming home to myself. I now serve as a tour guide of sorts, sharing my knowledge, wisdom, and experience of the terrain with other inner voyagers!
​
Each coaching session is designed to meet each client’s unique needs, allowing a natural plan of action to emerge that best empowers each person in their life. I enjoy working with adults as well as youth.​

Read more about "the work" below:
​​​Many try to solve their problems or overcome the obstacles in their life with their survival strategies, wondering why they produce more of the same.​ Life coaching from a somatic perspective isn’t about more of the same!
It isn’t about goal setting, writing more "to do" lists, or fixing conditions (all these things might happen as as result). It’s about getting to the root or the "why" of your problem, your pain at the most fundamental level.
There is a reason why a particular condition, situation, or relationship is in your life—and until you really address that core cause, the symptom will remain. While some coaches are behavior and goal orientated, and others process focused, my approach emerges from a presence centered focus, which is the foundation of unfoldment and growth.
You may have been going over the same ground again and again…unable to see your blind spot. You may have tried everything, but your life just won’t budge. Or, you go two steps forward, and ten steps back. And you’re soooo.....frustrated, because you've tried everything, and you know you are worth it! You are worth having a life of your dreams—you have valuable gifts to share and they need to be shared with the world like NOW!
But you’ve sat on your dream, waiting until just the right time—but, it hasn’t come yet! And the clock keeps ticking, and you wonder what it is going to take.
Taking responsibility for many of the aspects of our existence, that we were all taught to project outside ourselves—on to authority figures, institutions, systems of knowledge, etc. is what is required now! While we ALL need support and guidance during this re-membering of our power and authority, it is definitely time for us to fully wield our own! Investing in yourself and hiring a “high vibe” coach is one effective way to expand your potential at an exponential rate.
