of Turtle Island is my ocean. I have grown under the
protection of Mt. Tahoma and the mountains of Tongva and Chumash
peoples. I have been nourished at the banks of the Duwamish
river. My ancestors are Ilocana, Visayan, Xicana,
Chiricahua-Apache, and more unnamed. Therefore, I am bakla, I
am trans*formational and the name given to me is Rafael/a
Luna-Pizano. I have practiced a combination of energetic and
biodynamic bodywork for the last 13 years, culminating in
somatic presence and craniosacral therapy. My
bodywork practice is informed by my experience as a
capoerista, a danzante, and a lover of sound. I am excited to
offer place-practices to movement communities as a way to
(re)connect with our honorable ancestors and their vision to
restore our relationships with land and water. Thank you for
reading, moving and listening!
