A little bit more about me:

I was born in Mexico City - where you will find some of the best tacos al pastor and pan dulce. I migrated to the United States when I was 11 years old. My migration experience has influenced so much of who I am and how I show up in the world. Having been born in a country and raised in another is complex and nuanced. This experience has been one of reclaiming and creating a third way, not one or the other but both and new.

I believe deeply in connecting with our bodies so we may hear the messages and stories it tries to communicate. The first time I ever connected with my body was in a yoga class in college. It was so new to slow down and to notice something like my breath! These experiences made me realize that I was ALIVE and that I could tend to and care for this body that had so much to communicate.

I have had the opportunity of finding healing when witnessed by another. I am grateful for the indigenous practices of my lineage, yoga, therapy, nature, and reconnecting with my culture, for all these have allowed me to be here. A deeply sacred journey.
