Life, Recovery Coach and Family Constellations Facilitator
Monterey, California
With 18 years of personal recovery as her foundation, Risa Tapales is dedicated to helping others heal and emerge into their new lives. As a Family Constellations Facilitator, she guides her clients in uncovering and healing generational wounds, creating a safe and compassionate space to restore harmony within the ancestral lineage.
Risa’s work is influenced by her training with Barbara Whiteside and Tammy Roth in Systemic Family Constellations, and her studies in quantum release, ancestral healing, and the exploration of myth, magic, and mystery with Emily Blefeld and Dan Cohen. She regularly participates in workshops with Yishai Gaster and Stephan Hausner to deepen her understanding of Systemic and Family Constellations.
In addition to Family Constellations, Risa brings warmth and creativity to her practice by incorporating art which helps her clients find ease as they move into clarity. “Art invites a sacred connection to ourselves, helping us move through inner tensions, transforming pain into something uniquely beautiful,” she shares.
Risa holds additional coaching certifications, including CPC, CPRC, SRCD, and CCFC, reflecting a more comprehensive approach to personal and ancestral healing. Her practice is rooted in a deep commitment to helping individuals achieve meaningful transformation and connection.
