My husband, Alex, and I in Monterey, CA USA
How I Accompany People
When I talk about accompanying people, I mean the kind of support that happens through presence, conversation, and the steady work of being human together.
My role is not clinical, medical, or pastoral.
I don’t diagnose, treat, or prescribe.
What I offer is well-being and resilience support, rooted in reflection, clarity, and honest dialogue.
Everything here moves according to my health and capacity.
All conversations happen by video, so you can meet from wherever you feel most comfortable.
1
Well-Being & Resilience Support (when I’m able)
These conversations are for people moving through:
-
life transitions
-
grief or ambiguous endings
-
identity shifts
-
chronic illness or disability
-
expat or cross-border life
-
values, boundaries, and belonging
-
spiritual questions or meaning-making (optional)
-
LGBTQ+ lived experience
We talk about what’s unfolding in your life, what’s weighing on you, and what you want to understand about yourself.
There’s no fixing, no pressure, no performance, just grounded presence and clarity as it emerges.
If spiritual language or frameworks help you, we can weave those in. If not, we don’t. This is human-first.
2
Reflections, Rituals, or Gentle Words (optional and only when requested)
Sometimes people reach out for:
-
a blessing
-
a written reflection
-
a grounding ritual for transition, release, grief, or return
These are not religious rites.
They’re symbolic, personal development–oriented gestures ways of honoring what you’re carrying or stepping into.
They can be written or shared in conversation, depending on my capacity.
Scheduling & Capacity
I live with CIDP, a chronic neuromuscular disability, and my capacity changes day to day. Conversations happen when my health allows. If you’d like to connect, you can request a time through the contact page or email me at jhurtado@iwiga.com. Everything here moves at a human pace.
