Rooted and Rising
A 4-months mentorship for women and femmes psychotherapists, healers, and coaches that want to overcome self-doubt, overworking and undercharging, and feeling like an impostor and bring forward their soul-led beyond 1:1 services program in a sustainable way.
Starting November 1, 2022
APPLY FOR ROOTED AND RISINGYou already know that your gifts will be better served beyond the 1:1
You are done over-working and under-charging or underpaid
You recognize your worth and you know you are meant for something bigger, more sustainable, enriching, and satisfying
Your ancestors and guides have been reminding you of your worth and the importance of making the necessary changes so you can be the vessel of help, joy and healing, in a way that won't kill in you the making.
And yet,
When you are finally building the courage to do it, you suddenly feel frozen, cold, and confused...
Self-doubts kick in...
Feelings of impostor syndrome come forward...
Thoughts like: "who am I to do this?" become visitors...
Concerns about what others might think of you, including fellow colleagues, ruminate in your mind...
And you end up running away from your calling.
However, the tickling sensation in your gut when you get inspired or provide your gifts to someone, the inner quiet but persistent voice reminding you that you're meant for so much more than just doing 1:1, the recurrent dreams and visions of your calling, your loved ones reminding you your gifts, and constant signs to shift gears keep reminding you:
Dear One, you were given soul gifts for a reason. It is time that you REMEMBER and bring them out into our World without hesitation or fear. You’re ready to step into your soul’s highest and most potent calling.
You’ve been training for this for lifetimes.
These gifts are not only for the greater good but also to honor the sacrifices your well ancestors did and their wishes for you and your (their) future generation to live a joyous and fulfilled life.
What if I tell you that you can do it, and I can help you achieve it via my gift, the one that was given to me by Divine purpose, which is to help fellow psychotherapists, healers, and coaches to REMEMBER who they really are, their gifts, and work through the challenges that are getting in the way, in order to bring their gifts into our World NOW.

3 Pillars

Inner Guidance
This program promotes the importance of reconnecting with our inner compass and going within to get answers and direction. It is embedded in the whole program. This is integrated into the program by having the Soulful Business Connection call at the beginning of each month; which will promote reconnection with their inner guidance and gifts.

Well-being
This program believes that you can use your healing gifts in a way that does not deplete you or affect your well-being. It believes that healers need to be supported and nurtured, so their most potent healing work comes out without harming them. It also recognizes the impact trauma and systems of oppression have on our ability to attend to our well-being, and in perpetuating internalized oppression. Dra. Lydiana has over 13 years of experience in the trauma healing work and has integrated the trauma-informed approach to this program. This pillar is integrated throughout the whole program by assisting participants to explore ways to attend to their well-being, manage the triggers and monitor their tendencies to get engaged in toxic work habits that perpetuate cycles of harm toward themselves and others.

Community
This program recognizes that healthy communities heal. Not only by the support received and given, but even by being part of it. Bringing our soulful gifts into the World requires lots of courage and support, and what is best that doing it with like-minded courageous souls that are with you in this journey. This pillar is integrated throughout the program via the group calls, retreat and community private chat.
The Program includes:

Here’s what Rooted and Rising alumni have to say:
"After the program… I am in private practice. My private practice continues to be full, and I'm working one less day, actually, and it's the same amount of money, so that's good. I was able to raise my rates while I was in the program with the support of Lydiana as well. And in the future, what I'm working on now is doing more speaking and increasing my visibility overall on social media so that I can continue to grow my brand and grow my name. And that feels significantly different and more intentional than where I was at before, with increased confidence and assuredness of the direction that I'm going."
- Dr. Christine Rivera, Psychologist
"And with Rooted and Rising with Lydiana, she really helped me see that there was this, there was more people out there and that her wealth of knowledge was like, okay, had you thought about this person or that person. And so I'm excited about where I'm going. I feel ready to go, move on, and I hope she does an advanced course, because I would be in there tomorrow, or something that even just brings us together, because I feel like that's lacking right now in the world of therapist. And I need to be able to trust who I refer my people to, and I don't always have that for therapist."
- MiaMichelle Henry, Counselor

Letter from Dra. Lydiana:
If you’re reading this letter, first of all, thank you for your time.
I wanted to share with you a little about why I’m convinced I can help you on this path.
I want to start sharing where and whom I come from:
I'm Boricua (born and raised), a mix of Spaniard settlers, Taíno caretakers of Borikén at the time Spain colonized them, and African survivors of being taken by force and brought to work on my Island.
Daughter of Diana, granddaughter of Lydia and Edith, and great-granddaughter of Engracia, Luisa, Ramona, and Providencia.
I come from a lineage of hard-working folx that followed their dreams and provided a different path than theirs for their children (my parents).
I received many of the ancestral blessings, and also their traumas and struggles.
I bet that if you’re reading this, we share some ancestral struggles and blessings :)
Growing up, I was that child/teen folx would go to naturally to receive support and share their deepest secrets. Later on, I learned that I had this natural ability to hold space and create change.
I invite you also explore how some of your gifts have been showing up since childhood for you.
To continue the story, when deciding what to study, I decided to pursue a degree that will allow me to work as a therapist and a teacher. I ended up pursuing a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology in Puerto Rico. Throughout the journey to obtain the degree and the next few years while pursuing my license in Los Angeles, CA, I felt out of the track of the path of who I was, and the longer I stayed trying to fit the mold of what society and the field expected of me, the more lost I felt.
This whole feeling of “lost in life” got worst after having my eldest and experiencing post-partum depression and anxiety.
Have you also had a critical moment in your life in which you ended up feeling lost? What have you done?
In my case, I ended up leaving agency work and pursuing my own practice opened a new path back home, to my truth, and to my inner guidance. It hasn't been easy (as any journey), but recently I am reaping the benefits of it.
I feel more aligned in my work, less fidgety and confused as to what is next, less worried about the how-to's, way more supported by my guides and soul of my offerings, and more connected than ever to my inner guidance.
I've created some rituals and practices to connect to my inner guidance and calling (including tuning in, using oracle cards, smoke medicine, altar work, candles, mindfulness, listening to my body, cacao practice, and silence).
I've also worked towards creating aligned offerings that felt sustainable and regenerative for me and for my family.
Some of the ways I've done this have been integrating my business into my mom and family life, taking into consideration the hours of operation and needed times for school drop-offs, dinner time, putting kiddos to sleep, and cyclical working.
Delegating more and seeking the support needed for my business, including simple operating systems.
I've also created more boundaries around responding to emails, calling back potential clients, and going over session times.
Another big boundary I added was having enough breaks throughout my working hours, and working to prioritize my body's health; such as exercise, healthy eating, and rest.
And as I’m following my inner guidance, I am feeling the call to assist YOU, my fellow BIWOC psychotherapist, healer, and/or coach to bring YOUR much-needed soulful offering in ways that honor YOUR wellbeing and current cycle of life.
I look forward to hearing from you.
With Love,
Lydiana
This is for you if:
You identify yourself as a woman or femme; you are a psychotherapist, healer, and/or coach that wants to create soulful offerings beyond 1:1 services; you are an entrepreneur; you want to prioritize your well-being, and want to connect to your soul gifts and calling.
This is not for you if:
You don’t identify as a woman or femme. You are still in school pursuing your degree. You are not interested in being an entrepreneur.
IMPORTANT MESSAGE:
This mentorship recognizes and provides a safe enough and courageous space for exploring and discussing the implications systems of oppression, privilege, traumas (including generational), current stressors and more have on us and on our businesses; especially what we have internalized. This body of work is mostly geared toward women and femmes that come from communities that have been minoritized but welcome White women that not only recognize these systems of oppression and how they continue to harm bodies of color and communities that have been minoritized but also are doing the work to recognize their biases and to dismantle it.

Why Work With Me?
- I’m a psychologist (for the last 13 years), so a seasoned psychologist, that knows the ins and out of the psychology/mental health field
- I’m Boricua, born and raised in La Isla Del Encanto, Puerto Rico 🇵🇷. This provides me with the unique perspective and experience of being "othered" and minoritized, and navigating the systems.
- I’m a mom of 2 little children, which gives me lots of experience in surrendering to the unknown, constant problem solving, and getting things done in a simple #doless way
- I am a student of life. I have lots and lots of years of experience in masterminds, personal growth trainings/seminars, and getting trained to conduct healing workshops. I highly value learning and education, and I don’t act or behave in a way as if I know-it-all or this is the way because, to be honest, I truly believe that there are many paths toward your calling/healing, and only you really know what’s best for you. My role is more of a facilitator and to remind you of your inner guidance and power.


- I am an optimist by heart and I will believe in you and your dreams even when you lose sight of your truth.
- I like to explore all the different points of view of a situation. I work towards recognizing the polarities and moving more to neutrality and not obsessing on either side.
- Teaching and mentoring are part of my calling. I come from a lineage of teachers and healers and I am honoring my inner gifts and calling by doing it.
