The Body Remembers: Healing Through Somatics, Food, and Presence with Luis Mojica

In this soulful conversation, Jenny Jimeno and Luis Mojica explore the sacred dance between the body, trauma, and nourishment. Luis is a somatic therapist, trauma nutritionist, and founder of Holistic Life Navigation, where he teaches thousands of people around the world how to recover from stress and trauma. He uses whole foods, self-inquiry, and Somatic Experiencing as tools to find safety within yourself. Through Holistic Life Navigation, Luis offers online courses and webinars, in-person workshops and retreats, trauma-informed support groups, a monthly membership and newsletter, a weekly podcast, and a popular YouTube channel filled with insights and interviews.

In this conversation Luis opens his heart, sharing his journey as an intersex individual and how somatic practices helped him uncover the quiet truths stored in his body. Together, they reflect on how food can mirror our emotions, how trauma shapes our relationship with nourishment, and how healing can begin with something as simple—and profound—as fiber.

They also speak to the spiritual responsibility of healers, emphasizing that true service begins with self-care. Luis beautifully reminds us that balance, grief, and embodied presence are all part of the healing path—and that our relationships are often the deepest mirrors of who we truly are. You won't want to miss this one if you’re on a healing journey of your own, if you’re curious about the emotional roots of food patterns, or if you simply want to feel more connected—to your body, your path, and your purpose.
