Profunda Health: Healing Childhood Trauma at its Source
Introducing Profunda Health
In Latin and in several Romance languages, profunda means "deep" or "coming from the depths." This term originates from Latin, where "profunda" is the feminine form of "profundus," and it has been preserved with similar meanings across the Romance language family including Spanish, Portuguese and Italian. In all these languages, the word consistently conveys a sense of depth, whether referring to physical depth or metaphorical profoundnes.
That is why today, we're proud to introduce Profunda Health – our first market-ready solution addressing the $14 trillion economic burden of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) in the United States.
We remain Cepanoa Health – a name that means "to come together" in Nahuatl – honoring our core mission of building community around healing. Profunda represents our new product line that embodies this collective approach while diving deeper into personalized care.
At the core of our approach is a nuanced understanding of childhood adversity and its impacts. Our comprehensive ACEs assessment provides insight into how early experiences affect your current well-being by evaluating different types of adversity before age 18:
0: No identified childhood adversity from measured categories
1-3: Some exposure to childhood adversity
4+: Significant exposure, indicating increased risk for health and social challenges
Unlike platforms that simply calculate an ACEs score and leave you wondering "what now?", Profunda creates accessible healing pathways for everyone. Whether you're just beginning to explore your childhood experiences or seeking intensive support for complex trauma, our tiered approach ensures you receive the right resources at the right time. We've designed Profunda to break down barriers to trauma-informed care – making healing accessible regardless of geography, prior knowledge, or healthcare access.
To further support users, we have included a comprehensive list of resources related to each ACEs question, along with scientific research and articles from medical professionals, health experts, and doctors. These resources offer deeper insights into the effects of childhood adversity and evidence-based strategies for resilience and recovery.
Remember: Your ACE score isn't destiny. Many people with high scores lead fulfilling lives, especially with appropriate support and healing resources. People can still have a lasting impact on

The Lasting Impact of Childhood Trauma
The groundbreaking ACEs study by Kaiser Permanente and the CDC revealed how early traumatic experiences correlate with lifelong health and social challenges:
Chronic health conditions (heart disease, diabetes, autoimmune disorders)
Mental health challenges (depression, anxiety, PTSD)

Emotional regulation problems
Addictive behaviors
Understanding these connections isn't about blame—it's the first step toward healing.
