Diego Pinzon Rubiano M.A.
Somatic Psychotherapist
Diego works with the body as well as the mind. Together, you'll uncover the patterns, often unconscious, that keep you circling the same ground, and then work through them at the level where they actually live: in the body as much as the mind. Understanding is half the journey. The body holds the other half, and Diego works with both.
People come to Diego with trauma, stress and overwhelm, patterns that no longer serve them, feeling stuck in their heads and cut off from their bodies, questions of intimacy and sexuality, and a longing for meaning and direction. Sessions go beyond talking. Alongside conversation, Diego works with breath, movement, posture, and sensation to reach the tension the body has learned to hold: the clenched jaw, the shallow breath, the armour that once kept you safe and now keeps you small. As it softens, there is more room for feeling, energy, and choice. The pace is always one the body can integrate, and the work can sit alongside talk therapy or stand on its own.
Diego holds an M.A. in Transpersonal Psychology (Sofia University, California) and a B.Sc. in Psychology, along with a Diploma in Psychedelics and Health (University of Antioquia, Colombia). He trains in Core Energetics under the Institute of Body Psychotherapy in Brisbane, with regular clinical supervision. Rooted in the work of Wilhelm Reich, Alexander Lowen, and John Pierrakos, Core Energetics treats the body's chronic tension as a living record of our history, and its release as a path back to pleasure, feeling, and aliveness.
People often describe more vitality and ease, a deeper sense of inner alignment, more genuine connection with themselves and others, and growing clarity about who they are and where they're going. Moments of real joy and aliveness, often long absent, begin to return, and life becomes something not just understood but fully inhabited.
Diego also offers psychedelic integration, supporting people to process and make meaning of difficult or expansive experiences from psychedelics and other non-ordinary states. He brings years of experience in psychedelic education, contributions to pioneering research initiatives, co-authorship of peer-reviewed publications in the field, and currently works as a trainer and consultant with the Psychedelic Institute Australia.
Originally from Colombia, Diego offers sessions in English and Spanish, in person or online. His practice is warm and affirming of LGBTQIA+ individuals.
As Diego is in his final year of training, he offers low-cost sessions at $80 for 50 minutes, available Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays.
