Hello, it's great to meet you. I'm Ceci Zúñiga, Founder of CZ Mentoring.
Here's the "in a nut shell" version of how I got here: I studied psychology, counseling, and educational psychology in college and graduate school, achieved a PhD in Educational Psychology, and had a 15-year career as a school psychologist. As a part of that work and my ongoing study, I learned and practiced a multitude of healing techniques with the staff and students I supported, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, behavioral management, social and communication skills, collaborative problem solving and mediation, art and play therapy techniques, photo-therapy techniques, Sandbox therapy, ROPES techniques, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) psychotherapy technique, and movement therapies, to name a few.
In my early 40s following over two decades of formal study and practice in psychology, counseling, and educational psychology, I became disillusioned by the limitations of being a school psychologist and retired from that arena in 2005. From there, I immersed myself in the study and practice of more ancient healing wisdom rooted in energy and nature-based traditions such as Native American, shamanic, yogic, Buddhist, Wiccan, and the Toltec Eagle Knight lineage. I also studied sound, energy, crystal, and Reiki healing methods. That is when I truly began to embrace and nurture my intuition and psychic connection to the natural and invisible worlds. Today my work is seeped in wisdom from modern psychology and counseling, plus specialties from these more ancient, intuitive, and spiritual traditions.
It was a pattern of painful breakups and other losses in my life, plus a powerful near-death experience (NDE) in my mid-thirties, that inspired my journey into a more broad scope of healing technologies. With focused dedication and intention, I went after, learned, and discovered specific techniques to evolve out of my pain and struggle. This wound up including healing the conditioned self (also called the negative mind, ego, ego mind, conditioned mind, subconscious mind, or pain body), calming and transmuting overwhelming feelings, embracing genuine self-love, reclaiming a sense of wholeness and genuine confidence, cultivating genuine happiness, mastering energetic influences, tackling fears, and building personal sovereignty.

In 2008, I began life coaching, spiritual mentoring, and teaching traditional kundalini yoga and meditation as InnerScapes, LLC in the private sector. I also led men and women through transformational spiritual growth intensives, workshops, classes, and core healing sessions, and kept diving deeper into shamanic and yogic healing wisdom. Nine years later, I entered the virtual arena as CZ Mentoring, LLC.
There are specific, time-tested techniques to heal, restore, and reclaim our whole selves, to manage our energetic sensitivities, to honor who we are, and to support our growth into who we are becoming. These techniques connect us more intimately with our true essence, and give us the foundation we need to live genuinely happy lives and share our unique gifts in the world.
If you are ready to change your life but don't know how, there's a powerful reason you're on this site. You may say nothing helps, but you haven't tried everything. Sometimes a different approach is all it takes!
The reality is that you can argue for your excuses or you can argue for your dreams and you will get what you argue for. I know one thing for certain: if you change nothing, nothing will change.
A snapshot about me: I love the natural world and enjoy being outside in and with nature. As a deeply spiritual being with a shamanic world view, I believe all things in this reality are sacred, with their own life force, and meant to be loved, cherished, nurtured, and uplifted. My heart weeps for the pain some humans generate, while I celebrate the grace others bring. I pray for the soul healing and spiritual evolution of humankind so that ALL of life may thrive on this amazing and sacred planet earth we share.
