Holistic therapist on ‘emotional inheritance’ and womb healing

Holistic therapist Valeria Berrisso will give a talk next Tuesday titled “From the womb to the womb: the memories we inherit and how to heal them,” aimed mainly at women aged 35 to 55 who want to “understand why they live what they live,” she says.

Self-employed for seven years and working in what she describes as “emotional and energetic healing,” Berrisso says her aim is to share what she has learned so people can seek more natural ways to heal. She argues that people “inherit not only physical traits but also experiences, patterns and emotions from their family lineage,” which she calls “emotional memories” that can influence how individuals face life.

Berrisso contends that many illnesses or injuries carry a message and that there is a transgenerational pain related to being a woman. In her talk she will focus on situations she believes repeat across generations: “If you look at a grandmother, a mother and a granddaughter, you often see patterns that repeat. That is what we call emotional inheritance,” she says.

Her interest in the topic, she says, comes from personal experience: she experienced painful situations that she also saw in her mother and grandmother, which led her to look for an underlying message. Berrisso says many women “manifest emotional pain through the reproductive system,” and she cites examples such as endometriosis, infertility and gynaecological cancer.

In addition to public talks, Berrisso offers individual sessions she describes as “emotional decoding” and “womb healing,” which she believes can help women reconnect with themselves and their lineage. She also says society expects women to be tired and disconnected, while a woman connected to herself is “very powerful.”

The conference on 16 December is intended to give women tools to examine their lineage and understand the origins of their experiences. It is part of the Speaker’s Corner programme at the Hotel Roc Blanc & Spa in Escaldes‑Engordany, starts at 19:00, and is free to attend.
