I’ve Walked This Path Too
Like you, I once felt lost, adrift, and unsure of what and whom to trust in a world that no longer made sense. My old life—what I had worked so hard to build after many years of psychotherapy, academic excellence, professional drive, and the attempt to gain acceptance through physical attractiveness and charm—began to crumble. The people, places, and activities I once relied on for stability and meaning no longer fit, and I was left questioning everything. My body, mind, and spirit demanded change, but I was afraid to let go.
Everything Changed
My awakening came through a storm—rapid weight gain, years of debilitating autoimmune illness, and an identity crisis that stripped away everything I thought defined me. For eight years, I was bedridden much of the time, forced to confront my deepest fears and the layers of conditioning that had shaped me. This painful unraveling led me to the only place I could fine true comfort—myself.
Within Me, I Found God
With guidance from Spirit and my teachers in the Andean mystical tradition, I let go of the external expectations, the self-doubt, and the need to be everything to everyone. I healed—not just my body, but my relationship with myself. I learned to listen to my inner knowing, to trust my own wisdom, and to walk my path with clarity and confidence.
Now I Hold the Lantern
I’m here not as a master, but as a companion on the path. As a Soul Sister, Human Guide, and Rebirth Midwife, I offer sanctuary for those navigating their own sacred transitions — the deaths, the awakenings, the big unknowns.
With 18 years of experience as a somatic psychotherapist, and deep apprenticeship in shamanic energy medicine, I walk between the worlds — blending trauma-informed care, energy healing, and Earth-based wisdom to support your transformation. Whether you’re rising from burnout, healing emotional wounds, or awakening to a new chapter—you don’t have to do it alone.
You Too Will Rise
I’ve lost dreams, relationships, my health, and my identity. I know what it’s like, so I can hold space fearlessly for you while you navigate darkness and move back towards the light.
Training & Credentials
Neither a master’s degree nor a license in psychotherapy prepared me for this.
“The mountains choose you,” my mentor explained when I asked how I knew I was called to become a healer in the ancient Andean Waskar and Inkarri paqo (priest/priestess) lineages. And so I answered yes to the calling, apprenticing for nine years to two shamanic guides and learning the practices passed on to Juan Nuñez del Prado from three masters of the last generation: don Benito Qoriwaman, don Andres Espinosa, and don Melchor Desa, as well as those from Tata Lorenzo, a master of the Kallawaya tradition of the Titicaca Lake basin of Bolivia, 2019. But life itself has been my greatest initiator, holding my feet to the fire and challenging me to stretch beyond self-imposed limits.
