Meet Alejandra Rodriguez
A Little About Me
I’m originally from Peru and have been living in the Netherlands since 2019. I’ve always been curious about life, human connection and what it means to truly feel at home within ourselves.
For a long time, I carried a strong sense of not belonging. I often felt alone and became very good at working hard, adapting and trying to get things right, while under all of that, I had a longing to feel connected and free to be myself. That desire led me into a deeper exploration of myself and how we relate to one another. I began to listen to my thoughts, and started including my body, emotions and different parts of myself, I was learning to meet them with more curiosity and compassion.
Psychedelic work became another meaningful part of this journey, bringing a deeper honesty to my awareness and strengthening my connection with my Peruvian roots and ancestry.
Over time, I understood that many of the ways I had learned to protect myself were not signs that something was wrong with me, but they were ways of managing my life.
I moved from trying to fix myself to learning how to come home to myself.
My Training and Therapeutic Approach
My work is informed by different therapeutic approaches and continued learning. Rather than following one fixed method, I draw from different practices depending on your needs and what feels supportive for you.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Nonviolent Communication (NVC)
Professional Psychedelic Practitioner Training
Yoga
Reiki
A Trauma-Informed and Compassionate Approach
I believe healing is not about fixing something that is wrong with you. It is about creating the space to understand yourself, reconnect with your inner resources and develop a more compassionate relationship with your experiences.
In our work together, we may explore thoughts, emotions, body sensations, relationships, patterns and the different parts of yourself that influence how you experience life.
I work at your pace and aim to create a space where you can feel heard, respected and supported. There is no one-size-fits-all approach; our work together is shaped around your individual needs and goals.
Coming Back Home to Yourself
Foe me, healing is about coming back home to yourself. It can mean reconnecting with your body, listening to your inner voice, understanding the different parts of yourself and creating more space for authenticity and self-compassion.
My intention is to support you in developing a deeper connection with yourself so that you can move through life with greater awareness, choice and connection.
Who I Work With
I support people who may be experiencing:
- Difficult life transitions or periods of change
- Looking for more authenticity, connection and freedom
- Emotional overwhelm or anxiety
- Disconnection from themselves or their bodies
- Already into personal growth and looking to go deeper
- Questions about identity, purpose or direction
- Repeating emotional or relationship patterns
- A desire for deeper self-understanding
- Challenges with emotional expression or communication
- A wish to develop a more compassionate relationship with themselves
You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out. We can begin by exploring what is bringing you here and what kind of support may be appropriate for you.
We Walk the Process Together
Working together can provide a space to:
- Slow down and become more aware of what is happening within you
- Explore emotions, thoughts and body sensations
- Understand recurring patterns and inner conflicts
- Develop greater self-compassion
- Reconnect with your own needs and inner guidance
- Explore healthier ways of relating to yourself and others
The process is collaborative, and your experiences, boundaries and pace are respected throughout our work together.
