Hi, I’m Marcela.
I’m a certified yoga and meditation teacher, Reiki practitioner, artist, host of The Empowered Soul Podcast, and a mother devoted to the sacred unfolding of the soul.
I am currently studying with Dr. Linda Backman to become certified in Past Life and Between Lives Soul Regression Therapy, supporting others in remembering their soul’s deeper journey and evolution here on Earth.
As a mystical mama, I weave gentle yoga, meditation, breathwork, intuitive energy healing, and emerging soul-level insight to support women and families through every season of life, from prenatal and postpartum to lifelong spiritual growth.
Empowered Soul Yoga
Empowered Soul Yoga is a signature practice by MC Mama Bird, a living practice shaped through intuition, soul remembrance, and co-creation with The Field, Creator, and my Guides that reminds us that we are souls, divine beings, having a human experience, evolving through our journey here while serving the greater evolution of Earth and humanity.
A Living Practice in Progress
Each session, meditation, and insight continues to unfold naturally, shaped by intuition and guidance from The Field and my guides.
While the practice evolves, it is fully available for you to explore, experience, and grow with, in your own time and at your own pace.
This is an integrative path of embodied intention, conscious breath, gentle movement, deep rest, soul-centered exploration, and meditation.
A space to slow down…
to listen deeply…
and to reconnect with your Higher Self, the wise archiver of your wisdom and purposes through lifetimes that is you in the divine realms and contains the larger portion of your soul.
Each offering is rooted in self-love, the foundation of true healing, authentic connection, and the remembrance of who you truly are.
The path to true love begins with self-love.
Reconnect with your inner knowing.
Trust the voice that gently guides you.
Honor the wisdom that lives within your body and your soul.
This is your Higher Self, the soul-level wisdom that guides you through every lifetime.
When you learn to listen, trust, and honor that inner voice, life becomes a sacred partnership with something greater, a co-creation with the Divine.
This journey is one of expansion with purpose.
You get to live in flow with your divinity…
,
Through Empowered Soul yoga and meditation, you begin to soften fear, release self-doubt, and rise into the creative, intuitive power of love that has always been yours.
Here, there are no expectations,
only the freedom to arrive exactly as you are…
and leave feeling more centered, more connected, and more fully alive.
Come as you are.
Leave as your truest Self.

Are you ready for more freedom?
It starts with creating a support system that truly lifts you up from the material plane to the cosmic realms. When you shift the energy once spent on worry or procrastination, it transforms into momentum, focus, and meaningful productivity that is sourced by aligning to your Higher Self.

Self-Healing Begins with Self-Remembering
I believe healing accelerates when we stop trying to “fix” ourselves and start remembering the inalienable truth of our divine nature.
