Reiki & Energy Healing

Tatiana Etxeberri is the founder of Bliss Holistic Center, a sanctuary born from her own journey of transformation. As a stressed mom juggling the demands of family life and a busy business, Tatiana often put her health last. That changed when a friend invited her to her first yoga class. There, guided by a teacher who wove poetry and breathwork into movement, Tatiana experienced her first taste of true embodiment, a glimpse into the powerful connection between mind and body. This awakening sparked a global journey of learning and healing. Tatiana immersed herself in yoga, mindfulness-based movement, massage therapy, breathwork, sound healing, and energy body studies. Over time, she developed her own unique method, an intuitive fusion of these healing arts. In January 2025, she launched Bliss Holistic Center with a vision to help others reconnect with their authentic selves. Today, Tatiana offers deeply nourishing wellness retreats incorporating her love of travel, cooking with healing foods, and other holistic based methods that guide individuals back to balance, purpose, and bliss within their bodies and their lives.Show More

Hi, I’m Dr.

Hi, I’m Dr. Lara May, Advanced Practice Clinical Pharmacist & Health Coach, specializing in functional medicine & energy medicine. I learned how to transform my health, digestion, and body – and I’m here to help you do it, too! Let me tell you a story… Ever since I was young, I have always had trouble with my stomach. I spent most of my years relying on acid reducers, and everything I ate caused my body distress. I often felt bloated, struggled with constipation, and I was at a loss for what to do about it. So, I did what most people do after seeing doctor after doctor and not feeling any better, I read every book, tried every program, and well… nothing worked for me. My stomach would ache afterward, my pants fit tight, and going to the bathroom was a less than pleasant experience with all the cramping, constipation, followed by cyclical diarrhea, etc. Now, I know that the food I was eating wasn’t nourishing my body or benefiting my gut. They were making the problems worse! Until I truly dug in and gained the knowledge, I had no idea how my gut was being impacted by what I was eating every day. Hitting Rock Bottom... My gut problems persisted. They didn’t improve because I kept eating all of the foods that were making the problems worse. I wasn’t paying close attention to how certain foods were making my stomach feel. I was frustrated and thought my body wasn’t working quite right. This was all because I was just feeding my gut problems. Even worse, I felt exhausted, sick, and moody all the time. I never had any energy, my body hurt, and my digestion was a mess. It was when I realized that my poor gut health and all the symptoms I faced every day were keeping me from being the person I dreamed of being! The Journey to Healing I began to look more closely at my life and at my diet, suddenly realizing that the food I was eating was just contributing to the problem. All it took was a bit of research for me to see what I needed to see. The food I was eating was having a negative impact on my gut. Then my poor gut health was having a negative impact on the rest of my health and my life. So, of course, my first step was to change the food I was eating every day. It was tricky to get used to because I had never considered what I was eating. I bought and ate the food that I wanted to. My research led me to realize that my gut health is connected to the rest of my health. So, after hours of research and plenty of time figuring out what worked best for my body, I healed all those gut issues. And as a result of that, I healed a ton of other issues. What a difference this made! In just a few weeks, I saw a change. I was less grumpy, had fewer stomach pains, and felt better as a whole. Since then, I’ve only gotten better. A New Found Purpose & Journey to Integrating Functional & Energy Medicine… My experience changed my life in wonderful ways, and now, I’m on a path to help others! I want to help you reclaim your life by getting your gut in great shape! As a functional medicine specialist, I help people uncover the source of their diseases and imbalances to get to the root of where things start. I focus on empowerment, transformation, & healing through real evidence-based methods combined with energy healing modalities. I give my clients the tools they need to help reduce or in some cases, potentially, even stop their prescription medications (with communication to their doctor, of course). But the biggest benefit my clients speak about is that they fall in love again - with their lives, with what they are doing, and the person or people that mean the most to them. My unique approach and integration of techniques allow my clients to shift energetic patterns, release old beliefs, clear blockages, and create lives of fulfillment, wellness, and joy. My journey to energetic & functional medicine began in 2014 as a patient myself struggling with uncontrolled chronic migraines, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic heartburn, and chronic sinus infections. Frustrated with not getting better and the lack of answers from western medicine, I sought out a new solution. Integrative Nutrition & Functional Medicine combined with energy healing modalities empowering myself to heal myself from all of the above ailments. And today I am dedicated to helping you do the same.Show More

Spiritual Healing

My path into healing work was deeply personal, as I'm sure most of us share this sentiment. For much of my life, anxiety was a constant companion, along with periods of depression, numbing, and the effects of a childhood marked by instability. Like many who step into this work, the journey began with a simple desire to understand why certain patterns felt so difficult to change, and more importantly how to begin the shedding of these outdated stories and negative looping. Over time, that search led to deep inner work and eventually to hypnotherapy and subconscious healing. These approaches revealed something powerful: many of the struggles people carry live beneath conscious awareness, within the nervous system and subconscious mind. When those deeper layers begin to shift, lasting change becomes possible. What inspires this work mostly for me is witnessing the moment someone realizes they are not broken and that the patterns holding them back can soften, shift, and transform. Because beneath the anxiety, overwhelm, and coping mechanisms, there has always been a whole and capable part of us waiting to be remembered. At its heart, this work is about one simple truth: people are far more capable of change than they have been led to believe.Show More
