The biggest misconception I see in the healing world is the belief that more information creates transformation.
It doesn't.
Most of us already know our inner critic isn't telling the truth. We know we deserve healthy relationships. We know we shouldn't live in constant fight-or-flight. We know we don't have to keep repeating the same family patterns.
The problem isn't a lack of understanding.
The problem is that our bodies haven't caught up to what our minds already know.
When stress, trauma, or repeated experiences become stored in the nervous system, our physiology reacts before our conscious mind has a chance to catch up.
That's why insight rarely creates lasting change.
My work is about helping the body believe what the mind already understands.
Over the decades, I accidentally created a unique blend of Somatic EFT™, trauma-informed inner child work, parts work, ancestral healing, nervous system regulation, and energy psychology, we gently help the body release what it has been carrying while creating new reality of limitless peace & possibility.
But releasing is only half the journey.
Once the nervous system has put the past in the past, we need to give it a roadmap for how to embody your ideal future.
I empower you to strengthen new emotional baselines, practice new habits, and repeatedly activate the neural pathways that support the person you're born to be. We aren't simply trying to "feel better." We're helping your brain, body, and nervous system timeline hop to a new reality - one where your first reaction is your ideal reaction.
Healing isn't just about letting something go.
We shift the energy.
Then, we retrain the brain.
Then. we instill the habits.
We embody something new - in mind, body (soma) and relationships.
Hi, I'm Jackie.
If you asked me what I do in one sentence, I'd probably say this:
I map the path from inherited patterns to inherited healing.
I help people understand why they keep getting stuck, what's happening underneath the symptom, and what they can actually do to create lasting change.
I don't believe healing has to feel heavy.
I think it needs a better map.
My fascination with healing started long before it became my career.
At nine years old, I attended my first Reiki training. While most kids were collecting stickers, I was collecting questions about energy, emotions, and why two people (like my identical twin) could experience the same event yet carry it so differently.
That curiosity never left.
In 2011, I discovered EFT Tapping, and it completely changed the trajectory of my life.
Over the next fifteen years, I immersed myself in trauma-informed technique, nervous system regulation, attachment theory, parts work, inner child healing, generational patterns, emotional processing, and the growing body of research exploring how our experiences shape our bodies, beliefs, relationships, and health.
Most people don't need more information. They need a tool to help their body believe what their mind already knows.
Then they need someone who can connect the dots so the spiritual shifts become a sustainable lifestyle.
This has become my life's work: Being other’s healing cartographer.
Today I'm a Somatic EFT™ Master Trainer, founder of Somatic EFT™, an Amazon bestselling author, and have had the privilege of teaching thousands of practitioners, parents, coaches, and everyday humans how to work with the body instead of against it.
If you've spent any time reading my work, you've probably noticed I don't teach in isolated techniques. I build roadmaps.
I love taking something that feels overwhelming like anxiety, inherited family patterns, relationship dynamics, chronic stress, trust issues, neurodivergence, career overwhelm - and breaking it into practical, potent, evidence-based steps that people can actually follow.
Oh, and I don’t believe we need someone to save us from our past.
I beleive we have the tools to break free from our own emotions, mindsets, and memories.
I have devoted my life to teaching these tools - not just to the next generation of Somatic EFT practitioners but to parents, teachers, leaders, and kiddos (including my own!).
xo,

My Methodology
Step 1 Listen
Tune into your anxious energy, perfectionism, and doubt: What is your body telling you through your emotional pain? When you honor past wounds and listen to to your needs, you can set boundaries and expand into your truest nature.
Tools: Breathwork. Energy Mindfulness. Body Awareness, Poly Vagal.
Step 2 Let go
Is your body holding onto doubt, fear, or trauma? What would it take to let it go for good? When you incorporate evidence-based tools into your daily routine, “blocks” become catalysts for personal and professional growth.
Tools: EFT Tapping. Parts Work. Inner Child Work.
Step 3 Embody
How do you want to feel, speak, and treat yourself? When you learn to embody that energy now, you don’t need to wait for “perfection” in order to take action toward your ideal future.
Tools: Bilateral Stimulation, Guided Imagery, Cognitive Behavioral Work, Human Design
I use evidence-based tools.
Emotional Freedom Technique
EFT “tapping” since it involves tapping stress-reducing meridian points as a means to boost emotional regulation. An effective tool for personal, professional, emotional, or relational blocks.
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.
I’m a lifelong learner.

Jackie Viramontez is a Master Level EFT/Tapping Trainer with 20+ years of experience.
Jackie serves high-achieving empaths ready to break free from childhood trauma, people-pleasing, and anxiety.
She has a heart for empath healers and parents since it’s a potent container to reparent the inner child and pass downa. new legacy.
Her mission is to train the next generation of healing practitioners to blend trauma-informed EFT tapping with Inner Child Work, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and EMDR-based modalities.
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 intense holistic therapies and conventional medication. When I found energy therapy and EFT tapping, my life changed.
Trauma is a catalyst, not a crutch. 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 blend EFT/Tapping and Inner Child Work to break patterns of anxiety, people-pleasing and low self-worth so you can find new levels of peace and prosperity.
I love working with empowered clients, and I also love training future practitioners and counselors in EFT for one of the largest accredited certifications in the world: EFT International.
An advocate for women’s rights, I have traveled to India, China, and the corners of California, to empower women through trauma and sexual abuse. In my free time, I binge podcasts, cook vegan treats and explore North San Diego with my filmmaker husband Jake and two children.
