Rafael Lopez – Downey

Rafael discovered at a young age a deep passion for helping create lasting change in people’s lives, helping them achieve better health through massage therapy. During this time he began to discover the need to deepen his own knowledge and grow into the most expanded version of himself body, mind, and soul. 

As a  Certified Master NLP Practitioner, Hypnotherapist, Time Dynamics, and Spiral Somatic’s Practitioner, he was able to create a thriving practice that co-creates long lasting change as a life coach that goes far beyond the physical with his clients and students. His work has expanded over the years into becoming a Relationship and Dating Coach, Marriage peer Counselor and Kambo practitioner. Rafael has been a keynote speaker at several Love Conferences throughout the US and has been a guest expert on several podcasts. 

With over 30+ years of education and experience in these fields, he brings his passion to Self Help LA, offering private sessions, workshops for couples and singles to deepen their relationships with themselves and others at a whole new level. He loves to share his years of education and personal experience in hopes of them leaving their sessions, workshops and classes with real-world, applicable, and newfound skills that can carry over to every part of their lives, creating a new way of “being” verses “doing”.
