Hi, I’m Marcela. My background in therapy has taught me that so much of who we are, and how we move through the world, is shaped by connection. From our earliest attachments to the bonds we form as adults, we are constantly learning what it means to be safe, seen, and held. And just as disconnection can wound us, reflection and presence can help us repair, soften, and re-establish relationship with ourselves .

Tethered was born from this understanding. Over the years, I noticed how rituals that allow us to reorient ourselves like writing a letter, pausing to breathe, naming what we feel, can begin to shift something inside. These quiet practices don’t just ground us; they also give us insight to our own inner landscape.

While my background in therapy informs the heart of this project, Tethered is not psychotherapy, counseling, or medical treatment. Instead, it is a practice of reflection and connection, invitation to pause, breathe, and remember your own depth and belonging.

Through reflection mailers, gentle gatherings, and creative offerings, Tethered is here as a companion on the path! Reminding us that we are not alone, that we are connected, and that the possibility of repair lives within us.
