A Welcome from A Modern Mystic

In 2012, something shifted for me. A lot of people were talking about the end of the Mayan calendar, wondering what it all meant. For me, it wasn’t about the world ending—it was about waking up.

I started noticing things. Questioning what I’d been taught. Sensing that there was more beneath the surface of everyday life. Some of what I uncovered was heavy—it made me look at the world differently. But I never let it pull me into fear. I let it guide me inward.

That’s how my healing journey began. Quietly at first. I didn’t have all the answers—still don’t. But I started listening more deeply. I found grounding in rhythm, in breath, in sound. I began reconnecting with who I really was, piece by piece.

My name is Romy Nava, but in spaces like this, I move as A Modern Mystic. That name came to me during my healing journey—not to sound bigger than life, but to remind me that there’s power in slowing down, listening deeply, and showing up with presence.

I’m not a guru. I’m not here to fix anyone. I’m just someone who’s done some real inner work and is still learning every day. Sound and rhythm have been a big part of my path—tools that helped me regulate, ground myself, and reconnect when everything felt scattered.

That’s what I want to share with this community: spaces that feel safe to just be. Whether it’s through sound healing, a shared breath, or a quiet moment together in stillness, I’m here to help create that container.

As we move forward, I’m filled with gratitude for the community that’s come together around this vision.

This journey has reminded me that healing doesn’t happen in isolation—it happens in rhythm, in relationship, and in shared space. The resonance we create together is powerful. And I know this is just the beginning.

I’m excited for what’s ahead, and I’m thankful to walk this path with others who are willing to show up with heart, presence, and intention.

If this speaks to you, I’d love to invite you to the next experience. I’ll be holding a special Neurodivergent Sound Healing Group on June 28, 2025, at Confluence Park in San Antonio. We’ll move through breath, sound, and rhythm in a space intentionally crafted for sensory ease and deep connection.

Come as you are. Leave with your rhythm awakened.
