Some people step into their calling gently. Others are propelled by a force so strong that they have no choice but to listen. For Trina Zaragoza, that force came through pain, transformation, and an undeniable calling to bridge science and energy medicine.
As a National Wellness Coach, Clinical Skills Instructor, and Energy Practitioner, Trina specializes in integrative health, shamanic practices, and frequency-based transformation. With a background in nursing and holistic wellness, she guides individuals through energetic realignment, neuroplasticity techniques, and mind-body recalibration to cultivate lasting change.
Her mission isn’t to "heal" others; it’s to return them to their own power. Through her business, Altered Haven, Trina has built a space where clients clear energetic stagnation, rewire limiting beliefs, and embody their most authentic selves.
Trina Zaragoza, Wellness Coach
What was a defining moment that changed the trajectory of your career?
I didn’t choose this path. It chose me.
For years, I was a nurse by trade but a seeker at heart, drawn to holistic wellness but never fully stepping into it. Then came the migraines, the kind that shut down entire days, stole my focus, and left me desperate for answers.
I tried everything: medications, lifestyle changes, stress management. Nothing worked.
Until one day, exhausted from yet another day lost to pain, I was introduced to Meditation, Reiki, and vibrational healing. I wasn’t expecting much; frankly, I was skeptical. But as I started working with energy recalibration and frequency medicine, something shifted. The migraines didn’t just lessen; they revealed themselves as signals.
I realized that my pain wasn’t just physical. It was energetic and emotional, tied to suppressed intuition and misalignment with my purpose.
That moment cracked something open in me. I couldn’t unsee what I had experienced. Healing wasn’t just about treating symptoms. It was about integration.
I dove headfirst into neuroplasticity, energy medicine, and holistic health, blending them with my nursing background. It was no longer just about alleviating pain; it was about helping others listen to their own bodies, clear energetic stagnation, and step into their highest alignment.
That’s how Altered Haven was born: a space where modern science and ancient wisdom merge to create real, sustainable transformation.
What is your greatest career achievement so far?
For me, success isn’t measured in titles or awards; it’s measured in watching people break free from the patterns that have held them back. I’ve had clients go from feeling lost and disconnected to stepping fully into their purpose, launching their own wellness businesses, or finally embodying the confidence and self-trust they’ve always sought.
One of my proudest moments was helping a client who had been stuck in trauma loops find a new sense of clarity and direction. Through coaching, energy recalibration, and mindset work, she was able to release generational patterns and step into her own power, not because I "healed" her but because she reclaimed her ability to transform herself.
That’s the work that fuels me, witnessing people step into their own empowerment, knowing they were the ones who made the shift happen.
What’s your purpose, mission, and driving force for all the work you do?
My mission is simple but profound: to help people remember who they truly are.
I don’t see myself as a healer; I see myself as a mirror, a guide, and an activator. People already have the power to shift, heal, and evolve. They just need the right tools, awareness, and space to do so.
I believe in:
Empowering people to trust their own inner guidance.
Helping individuals break free from limiting beliefs and energetic stagnation.
Bridging science and spirituality to create real, tangible transformation.
Everything I do, coaching, energy recalibration, Shamanic Practices, and vibrational medicine, is designed to help people align with their path and reclaim their own healing abilities.
What has worked well for you in growing your clientele?
Authenticity. People can sense when you’re truly invested in their well-being, and that’s how I’ve built trust.
Some of the most effective growth strategies I’ve used include:
Word-of-mouth referrals from clients who’ve had profound breakthroughs.
Transparency in my work: I explain to every client that they are their own best healer, and I am here to guide, not "fix."
Consistency in branding and messaging through Altered Haven and Wellness Whispers, keeping my focus on education, empowerment, and transformation.
When people see real results, they naturally want to share their experiences.
What are your current goals for your business?
I’m expanding Altered Haven to offer:
Online courses and programs so people can access transformation at their own pace.
More in-depth coaching containers where clients can work through energy shifts with ongoing support.
A community space where people can connect, learn, and support each other in their evolution.
The goal is to make true transformation accessible, giving people real tools, not just surface-level inspiration.
What makes Altered Haven unique?
Most wellness spaces focus on either science or spirituality; I bridge both, offering a holistic approach that honors both energetic and physical well-being.
Altered Haven is different because it integrates:
What I Integrate into My Coaching & Energy Work:
Holistic & wellness coaching: Guiding clients through lifestyle changes, neuroplasticity techniques, and mind-body alignment.
Shamanic practices: These include limpias, cord cuttings, soul retrievals, past life exploration, and Akashic record sessions.
Bio-well energy readings: Mapping the body’s electromagnetic field to identify imbalances and energy blockages.
Innovative energy tools: I use my structured water device and toroidal pyramid technology to enhance healing and energetic alignment.
Bioenergetic healing mats: Integrating far-infrared, crystal-infused, and frequency-based recalibration mats for physical and energetic restoration.
Vibrational & frequency-based healing: Utilizing sound therapy, energy resonance, and frequency tuning to support transformation.
A fully personalized approach because no two people need the same method to thrive.
At Altered Haven, I focus on empowering clients to reconnect with their own wisdom, shift stagnant energy, and cultivate lasting transformation because true healing isn’t something given to you; it’s something you activate within yourself. This isn’t about temporary fixes. It’s about lasting transformation and reconnecting with their authentic selves.
What is your vision for the future of wellness?
I would break down the divide between modern medicine and energy work. Too often, people feel like they have to choose between traditional healthcare and holistic approaches, but true wellness is integrative.
We must move beyond just treating symptoms and start addressing the root energetic and emotional imbalances contributing to disease, stress, and disconnection.
At the same time, I’d shift the idea that healing and transformation are things given to you rather than something you cultivate within yourself. There’s a lot of guru culture in the wellness space, where people are taught to seek answers outside of themselves. True empowerment means returning people to their own authority and teaching them how to listen to their own bodies, energy, and intuition.
I want to see more education, transparency, and real-life integration, not just ideas that sound nice on paper but practices that create real, sustainable change. Healing isn’t something that happens to you; it’s something you actively participate in.
