MY STORY

In 2008, I made a soul-level decision to save my own life.

After years of self-destruction, trauma, and addiction, I found myself at a crossroads—pregnant, alone, and completely cracked open. Becoming a single mother was the moment everything changed. It forced me to choose life. Not just survival, but a life of meaning, healing, and devotion.

I reached for every resource I could find—therapy, somatic healing, recovery work, and spiritual mentorship. I walked through the gates of my own personal hell and clawed my way out. And that is why I can hold space for others who are still finding the way.

Only someone who has known the depths of despair can guide others through it with compassion, power, and grace.

My healing journey has been shaped by ancient wisdom traditions: yoga, curanderismo (the sacred folk medicine of my Mexican lineage), the spiritual teachings of my Chinook Native ancestry, and the hard-won lessons of being radically, outrageously human—falling on my face a thousand times and still getting back up.

I discovered that non-ordinary states of consciousness—when approached with intention and reverence—were the key that helped me unlock deeper layers of healing that years of talk therapy never could touch. Sometimes words aren’t enough. The body, the energy, and the soul need their own language.

The woman you see today is nothing short of a miracle.

For the past 14+ years, I’ve guided thousands of people through transformational experiences—ceremonies, group programs, trainings, retreats, and one-on-one healing work. I teach what it takes to walk the path of real transformation: deep commitment, radical self-responsibility, emotional safety, and relentless love.

I believe that our greatest medicine often lies within our own wounds. That each person carries sacred gifts. And that everyone deserves to be met with reverence, not fixed.

In addition to my spiritual and coaching work, I’ve been a vocal leader in the survivor-led anti-human trafficking movement since 2011, using my voice to shift narratives and catalyze justice for young people impacted by sexual exploitation.

I’ve also had the honor of being recognized with over 38 awards for leadership, advocacy, and community service—and yet, the work that matters most to me is the everyday miracle of witnessing someone come home to themselves.

Deep listening, curiosity, and respect are the cornerstones of how I lead.

From this place, I teach. I mentor. I build businesses with soul. I hold sacred ceremonies. And I help others rise—fiercely and gently—into their fullest expression of leadership.

I don’t walk this path alone. Every bit of success I’ve experienced is because of the incredible people, teachers, and unseen forces who’ve walked with me. I bow deeply to the divine intelligence behind it all. I bow to the ineffable mystery unfolding as you and me.

Thank you for my life.
