I grew up in New York City, love brought me to Bruxelles.
I am a social impact designer that embeds healing arts into the design process— creating (relationships) based on personal and environmental sustainability and longevity.
I ground myself in ancestral traditions, handcraft, and cross-cultural exchange. I create to inspire reciprocity, consciousness, and empathy, akin to offering care for ourselves and our communities.
I hold a Masters in Design for Social Innovation; Master level in Reiki Therapy; Certificates in: Trauma-Informed Art Therapy, DONA International Pre-Natal and Postpartum Doula trainings.
My ever-evolving collaborations with mission-driven entrepreneurs, creative startups, shops, authors, museum curators, universities, families and businesses in the U.S, Palestine, Guatemala, Belgium and Norway are a reflection of my multicultural life.
My Approach: Embodied Reflection — Finding H.O.M.E within yourself
Honoring your unique roots, access, outlook
Offering you new ways of uncovering and embodying how you want to feel
Meeting you exactly where you are — your voice, intentions, values
Encouraging you to express yourself emotionally, spiritually, and physically in your language
Reciprocate Studio was founded in 2019 as an energetic interpretation of my name, Catalina Cipri, and as a testament to my intention of feeling and giving to others in the way that I do for myself. At the core of all things Reciprocate is embodied reflection, so that we can transform the stories we tell ourselves and co-create new possibilities for our desired futures.
All of my offerings are available in Spanish, English, Italian, French, and Arabic, both online and in-person in Bruxelles (or beyond).
