Something Empowering by Cristina Barcelo
Welcome, Beautiful SoulAre you ready to release trauma, grief, or anxiety and reconnect with your most empowered, aligned self? You’re in the right place. My purpose is to guide you back to wholeness using energy healing, mindfulness, and holistic practices that support deep transformation—because I’ve lived it, and I believe in it.
My Roots and the Spark That Lit My PathI was born and raised on the sunlit island of Puerto Rico, where my connection to nature and ancestral energy began. From a young age, I was drawn to the mysteries of the human experience.
At 16, I was introduced to the topic of psychology and felt an immediate calling. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology in 2008 and soon after moved to Miami, Florida, where I completed my master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2012. |

From Traditional Therapy to Energetic Healing
That same year, I became certified as a Trauma Incident Reduction (TIR) Facilitator and began working with individuals facing PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief, and major life transitions. It became clear to me that true healing wasn’t just about the mind—it also needed to embrace the body and spirit.
That insight led me to the world of energy healing. During that period, I was deeply intrigued by several healing modalities, including sound bowls, breathwork, and Reiki—ultimately becoming a certified Usui Reiki Master-Teacher by 2016. Over the years, I’ve expanded my healing practice to include: Breathwork. Sound Healing, Reiki Energy Healing, Mindfulness and Meditation, and Trauma-Informed Support.
Each session is crafted to meet you where you are and hold space for your unique healing journey.

A Grounded Life in Tampa
In 2018, my husband, daughter, and I relocated to Tampa, Florida in search of a more peaceful and grounded lifestyle. I continued offering energy healing both in-person and virtually, and led weekly sound baths and Reiki circles at a local yoga studio.
After the pandemic, I took a step back to focus on my own healing journey, raise our toddler, and recently—welcome our baby boy in 2024.

Why Something Empowering Was Born
For over a decade, I’ve held space for individuals, couples, and groups—helping them reconnect with their power, process pain, and return to self-love. I created Something Empowering to share powerful, accessible tools and healing practices with anyone who feels called to receive them.
