Giselle Bonilla is an Indigenous woman, and advocate for holistic well-being. Rooted in ancestral wisdom, Indigenous knowledge systems, and cultural memory, her work is guided by the belief that true healing unfolds in community and through the liberation of the mind, body, soul, and spirit. She is the co-founder of Time of Butterflies, founded alongside her sister, Kat, Time of Butterflies offers resources, support, and connection for women navigating life after abuse and other forms of trauma, honoring healing as a collective, embodied, and sacred process. Giselle is the founder and Executive Director of Centro Bonilla, a foundation based in Kiskeya (Dominican Republic) that provides holistic mental health services to communities in Bonao, Kiskeya, and beyond. www.centrobonilla.org
In addition, Giselle leads her online private practice, Holistic Wellbeing Counseling, where she integrates trauma-informed care with ancestral wisdom, cultural knowledge, and spiritual healing. Across all of her work, Giselle incorporates music, herbal medicine, sound healing, and energy work as essential tools for restoration, remembrance, and balance. Her practice is rooted in the understanding that healing is not linear, but a sacred, lifelong process of reconnection and rememberance—one she has committed to nurturing in everything she has created and will continue to create. www.giselle-bonilla.com
