Nicolás Jaramillo

My journey began way before my professional path started, as a member of a multicultural home, I was always observing and trying to understand the WHYs and the HOWs behind people’s intrapersonal and interpersonal dynamics and their impact on people’s lives. That lead me to study and graduate as a clinical psychologist and also, to my own path of healing and understanding my own traumas and PTSD. Expanding into myself and the understanding of others.

On this path, I worked with kids and adults from different socio-economical statuses, and from different cultures, I got experience from working with severe mental health issues at a psychiatric hospital in my home country, Ecuador. And I continued my clinical practice ever since.

I studied and graduated as a clinical and educational sexologist, a clinical hypnotherapist (specialized in paresthesia, anesthesia, hypnopediatrics, dissociation, regressions, etc), an EMDR therapist (trauma and PTSD therapy), bioenergetic therapist (body-focused psychotherapy), sexological bodyworker, massage therapist and group facilitator. Taking from each and every one of these disciplines and methods, a new way, an integral way, to approach my work as well as my personal expansion, as not only have I been a student, but a patient and a practitioner of each and every one of these.

Working with sexuality opened, a most important door for me, that nurtured every aspect of my life. And by walking through it, I realized that it has to do way more than with sex, pleasure, affections, human bonding, its taboos, etc. but with the movement and expression of life (and by its connection, of death and transformation) in each and every one of us. Sexuality and plant medicines opened up my connection to spirit and life, in ways I wasn’t even able to comprehend, at least not with the mind, is like a blindfold came off and suddenly I could see, feel, and breathe life in a different way.

Nowadays, I continue learning about mental health, and psychedelics, from a scientific and ancient cultural way, as well as their use for therapeutic and ritualistic purposes, and of course sexuality, from an integrated perspective.

I dedicate myself, with much respect, gratefulness, curiosity, flexibility, and carefulness to sharing my knowledge-experience and to walking beside others whether it is by teaching, facilitating groups and integration processes, workshops, retreats, and of course, going deeper into integral therapy sessions. I realized that when I get to see and touch someone’s soul, I get touched back. And for that, I’m forever humbled and grateful.
