About
Spirituality is not about ideas, sacred texts, and theology, or imposing anything on anyone;
rather, spirituality is all about authenticity, emotion, social connection and
re-connecting & integrating all our bodies to All That Is, Source, God, God within Us.

Health Coach
As a certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coaching Professional with an advanced course on Hormone Health, I received my training from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition* and studied a variety of dietary theories and practical lifestyle coaching methods. With my knowledge, we co-create completely personalized actions based on your goals to move you toward your ideal vision of health within your unique body, lifestyle, preferences, and resources.
Reiki Master & Teacher
As a certified Usui Reiki Master/Teacher, I received my training from Shaman Master, Alan Waugh, from The Sacred Valley Spiritual Retreat in Mt. Shasta, California. Reiki’s main attribute is to enhance relaxation, bring balance into the body, and direct Reiki (Divinely Guided Universal Life Force Energy) to the originating cause of a condition (mind, body & spirit), guided by the higher-self or God consciousness of the recipient.
Learn how to:
- Identify & clear traumas, dogmas & baggage that are holding us back from our authentic self & bring disease into our bodies
- Feel Empowered by Inviting Self-Love, Authenticity & Freedom back into our life
- Balance your Mental, Physical & Spiritual bodies
After transitioning from a real estate career to a health and wellness career, I feel I have reached a beautiful, balanced place of self as I have always, since the early age of 15, learned, practiced and been passionate about wellness in general.
See, for the last 35 years, I have tried many dietary trends, cleansing, juicing & fasting programs, follow health trends and most recent scientific studies, learned about essential oils & supplements, how acupuncture, chiropractic and massage bring positive changes to our bodies, and re-embraced spirituality (connecting with Divine Energy, my higher self, and Universal Energy). I have also gone through the ups & downs of hormonal imbalance (perimenopause & menopause), and while not a fun ride at all, there are natural ways to help us as we go through this next chapter in our lives.
My goal is to be a wellness authority and supportive mentor who motivates & empowers individuals to cultivate positive health choices, release & heal from traumas or baggage, reach their mission here on beautiful Planet Earth, and be the best they can be.
Another goal is to share with humanity how I was able to reconnect with spirituality in the hopes that it inspires you to learn about the relationship between mind, body, spirit & soul plus how they affect health and how to balance them. My social media channel on YouTube and one-on-one consultations are a place to discover how many primary foods you are missing and how to infuse joy & satisfaction into your life. Also, a place of hope to enhance positive emotions rather than focusing only on negative emotions.
Originally from Puerto Rico, I am fully bilingual, English & Spanish. I lived for a long time in the Pacific Northwest – everything from the friendliness of the people to the energy of the trees & mountains and lush green landscape, and I currently reside in San Antonio, Texas – yes, I am now a cowgirl and I’m loving it! When I’m not spending time outdoors, I love to entertain, cook, bike ride and salsa dancing — if you put some music on, I’ll dance to it.
Approach
- My practice focuses on assisting clients be the medicine that helps them heal themselves by discovering the Universal power within us and realize that we are creators and have the power to manifest.
- As a Health Coach and through my Integrative Nutrition & Hormone Health Classes, I teach you about your own bio-individuality and how Primary & Secondary Foods impact your health (Primary is what nourishes us off the plate & Secondary is the foods we eat every day).
- As we work together, we will look at how all parts of your life affect your health as a whole. I practice a holistic approach to health and wellness, which means that I look at how all areas of your life are connected. Does stress at your job or in your relationship(s) cause you to overeat? Does lack of sleep prevent you from exercising and create imbalanced hormones? Could low energy prevent you from building a spiritual practice or your creative side has come to a halt? Are you in an unhealthy relationship and feel like you can not express yourself or feel stuck? As we work together, we will look at how all parts of your life affect your health as a whole.
- Each session will leave you feeling inspired and motivated. We will go over more than just food – we will work towards creating balance throughout all the important aspects of your life, such as nutrition, love, relationships, career, finances, joy and many more. I will personally and carefully guide you to make simple, small changes that transform your life.
