Lilian “Lily” X. Acevedo

As a Nervous System Regulation and Trauma Release Practitioner, Lilian “Lily” X. Acevedo is the heart behind Quantica Wellness Group and Breathe with Lily, where she guides others through immersive breathwork, somatic practices, and integrative energy wellness. Her work is rooted in a simple belief: God created us with an innate capacity to heal, regenerate, and renew — physically, mentally, and emotionally — and the peace and freedom we’re searching for is already within us… in the breath.

For three decades, Lily has served as a Spanish Court Interpreter, standing alongside people as they navigate the judicial system on some of the hardest days of their lives. Her professional path has also taken her through entrepreneurship, real estate, and mediation, giving her a deeply human understanding of what it means to move through trauma, uncertainty, conflict, and some of life’s biggest transitions.

Lily’s understanding of what it means to keep going when life feels heavy is also very personal. Over the years, what she witnessed in the courtroom came home with her, layered on top of her own trauma and life experiences. As a single mother balancing family, work, responsibility, and the demands of building a life, she did what so many women, helpers, and caregivers learn to do well: she took care of everyone and everything that needed her and kept pushing through.

Eventually, she found herself weighed down, disconnected, and running on survival mode.

The breath became her way back.

Through years of study and personal practice in Breathwork, Yoga, Qigong, Somatics, energy wellness, BioEnergetics, frequency-based modalities, and Radical Forgiveness, Lily began releasing what she had carried for so long and finding her way home to herself.

That journey now shapes the way she holds space for others. Her approach draws not only from her training, but from decades spent working closely with people from all walks of life, and from her own experience of moving from survival back to wholeness.

Today, as a trauma-informed, bilingual practitioner, Lily helps others regulate their nervous system and release trauma through immersive breathwork, somatic practices, and energy wellness. She works with clients in North Atlanta and New York City, leads wellness experiences and retreats nationally and internationally, and connects with people around the world online.

And for Lily, the work extends beyond any single session. Through her Free to Heal initiative, she hopes to help more people release what they’ve been carrying, reconnect with themselves, and reclaim the freedom and peace that have been there all along. Her own liberation, paid forward.

"The peace and freedom we’re searching for is already within us… in the breath."
