Today we’d like to introduce you to Claudia C. Castillo
Hi Claudia C., so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
CLAUDIA C. CASTILLO is the founder of Chateo del Corazón, a movement that shares practical tools to help parents feel more compassion and integrate love.
Happily married for 40 years, CLAUDIA lives in Miami, Florida, and is committed to keeping alive Alvaro Luis, firstborn son, spiritual messages empowering parents to make more effective choices by discovering their heart intelligence and living with ease and self-compassion.
Claudia is a passionate mother of three beautiful sons who have been searching the whole world for the healing of addictions, from Nepal to Patagonia. To find the cure, she learned from different alternatives and holistic modalities.
Claudia is a certified mindful facilitator and a Restorative Life Coach. She is truly grateful for her opportunity to volunteer in Miami jails, uplifting and inspiring students to flow with their souls and guiding them into their freedom.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It has been a challenging journey to heal and restore my heart after losing my son. I have come to understand the complexities of addiction and learned that, while we cannot save our loved ones, we can transform ourselves by being fully present and connecting deeply with our own hearts.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I am a restorative life coach and mindfulness facilitator dedicated to supporting parents and families. I create a compassionate space where they can explore tools and engage in somatic practices to move from their heads to their hearts—a journey of just 18 inches but often the longest and most transformative one. My work gently challenges people to step out of their comfort zones and rediscover joy, even after loss.
What fills me with pride is my connection to my son’s spiritual messages, which deeply inspire and guide my approach. My unique edge lies in my extensive knowledge and daily practice of diverse alternative healing modalities, which I weave into my work to help others find peace and wholeness.
In terms of your work and the industry, what are some of the changes you are expecting to see over the next five to ten years?
Coaching and mindfulness in the United States are evolving to respond to a society that, despite being digitally “connected,” experiences emotional and physical disconnection. My industry must focus on offering authentic human experiences that value physical presence and genuine connection, creating a haven and a safe space in our hyper-connected digital world. Physical touch and genuine presence are the medicine for healing disconnection; our society needs to feel in order to heal.
