Most of us already know the root of our issue.
But alas, knowing better doesn't translate to feeling better.
We can help the body believe what the soul already understands.
My mission is to empower you to:
Release the weight of emotional trauma.
Retrain your brain to see a new reality.
Expand your nervous system's capacity to hold that new reality.
Jackie Viramontez founded Somatic EFT™ (Emotional Freedom Techniques) after being in the healing space for over 20 years.
Yes, I went to my first Reiki training at 9.
Yep, I had OCD and anxiety that doctors said were a life sentence.
No, I no longer struggle with those “chronic illnesses.”
I get excited when people bring me their blocks because I know blocks are birth canals to a better future.
If you asked me what I do in one sentence, I'd probably say this:
I don't help people figure out their blocks. I help them release their blocks at a body (soma) level.
I use somatic (body-based) tools like Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) Tapping, Inner Child Work, and Parts Work to shift the way we see the parts of ourselves we've come to call issues.
Every issue, whether anxious energy, spiraling self-doubt, a financial glass ceiling, or the trust issue that follows you into every relationship, is just the body's invitation to ask:
Hey, do you hear this? See this? Does this serve you? Or are you ready to finally let it go?
I firmly believe that if we're aware of a pattern, we're capable of breaking that pattern, not just for our own good, but for the good of everyone who comes after us.
My mission is to train the next generation of healing practitioners and leaders.
The world doesn't need more counselors who lack adequate training or more online courses that lack depth. Am I right!?
I am committed to in-depth, evidence-based, trauma-informed, high integrity trainings that blends trauma-informed EFT tapping with Inner Child Work, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and EMDR-based modalities.
A new way, a new nervous system, and a new reality.
I use evidence-based tools.
Emotional Freedom Technique
nicknamed EFT “tapping” since it involves tapping stress-reducing meridian points as a means to boost emotional regulation. I founded Somatic EFT because my students are visual and somatic learners who process with less talking and more feeling
Mindfulness & Breathwork
a simple way to regulate your nervous system and ward off a panic attack, become an observer of the thoughts, emotions, and breath to increase emotional regulation and resilience.
Energy Psychology
Gestalt-based practices that integrate visualization, inner child work, Empty Chair Technique, and eye movement desensitization to reduce the negative side effects of childhood wounds.
Neuroplasticity
the science of how the brain can change, rewire, and reprogram with focus and practice.
Inner Child Work
Reparenting a younger version of you that carries repressed emotional trauma. Inner child work allows you to meet your own needs (instead of waiting on others), set boundaries, and release codependency.
Internal Family Systems
Inner Child, Parts Work, Shadow: IFS, or Internal Family Systems is the creme-de la creme of growth! Approach blocks as parts-of-self that need to be integrated. By exploring the younger parts of you that were shamed or toxicly glorified you can shed false parts and reconnect to your worth and authenticity.
My mission is to train the next generation of healing practitioners and leaders.
I tend to attract high-achieving empaths, healers, parents, and cycle breakers who want to break patterns of anxiety, people-pleasing, and low self-worth that keep them from doing what they were born to do.
You want to pass down a new legacy instead of perpetuating the one you inherited.
My work is deeply personal. When I was 5, my brother died, triggering intense grief, anxiety, and OCD. Over the next two decades, I tried everything from diet and lifestyle changes to intensive holistic therapies and conventional medication. When I found energy therapy and EFT tapping, my life changed.
I’ve learned from personal experience that you can:
Heal from childhood trauma
Release deeply rooted anxious energy
Find self-worth outside of productivity
Fully recover from people-pleasing
Stop projecting childhood wounds onto your children (easier said than done!)
I get fired up about healers charging their worth, women refusing to live within the smallness society expects of them, and women’s rights, obviously!
I tend to work with people who don't flinch at darkness or depth. They know most “issues” didn't actually start with them, but long before they were born. And when they dare to break the pattern, they do it on behalf of every ancestor who came before them and every generation that comes after!
I've traveled to India, China, and the corners of California to empower women healing from trauma and sexual abuse through somatic tools, art therapies, and tap + write exercises.
Want the exact exercises I use when leading these groups? I teach them all inside my Creative EFT for Kids & Groups course.
I’m a lifelong learner.
