My Story

I am a spiritually driven explorer of the multi-dimensional self, curious about life, on a journey of love towards greater self-awareness and compassion.

I graduated in 2013 with a Master's Degree in Integral Theory (Psychology/Human Development) from John F. Kennedy University.

It's a meta theory, including the study of consciousness, philosophy, psychology, spiritual traditions and social systems, an intuitively transformational and comprehensive approach that has supported me in my development and challenged me to expand my perspective and to discover the creative evolutionary force embedded in each moment.

During my masters I got certified as a coach by Integral Coaching Canada. Later on I received training and got certified as a Craniosacral massage therapist with Bastyr University in Seattle. More recently I completed an INELDA training as End-Of-Life Doula.

Since my teenage years, I have felt deeply inspired and curious about Mexico’s indigenous rituals, which led me to study Core Shamanism at Michael Harner’s Foundation of Shamanic Studies. I have continued learning through shamanic practices in other traditions, including with Q’ero teachers of Peru. My current training at the Last Mask Center focuses on shamanic practices as a path to recovering the authentic self, clearing cultural conditioning, old stories, and limiting beliefs, and embracing life as a teacher.

I have 14 years of experience as an integral transformative coach and retreat facilitator working with individuals and couples. I include energy practices, plant medicine, shamanism, inquiry and shadow work as part of my services.

My path has been shaped by the use of plant medicine (peyote, iboga, psilocybin mushrooms) within ritual and ceremony as a therapeutic way to explore my spirituality. After a transformative experience with ibogaine in 2013, I began working as a psychedelic coach and guide in several ibogaine clinics across Mexico, including Pangea, Iboga Root, Tabula Rasa, Iboga Quest, and The Mission Within. Today, I offer therapeutic sessions and psycho-spiritual ceremonies with ibogaine and psilocybin. I’m a mother, my greatest teacher in unconditional love, and currently live in Tepoztlán, surrounded by mountains and the powerful energy of the land.

My Approach

My approach in guiding and supporting clients through their transformation and changes is focused on their individual needs, dreams, challenges and unique process.

We work together allowing transformation to happen organically, in multiple ways, through various practices of inquiry, observation, introspection and right action.

I'm passionate about supporting clients through the challenges of change, to integrate practices for compassionate living and explore the depth of being. I use a dynamic systems approach to change, to bring about change and to pursue change with resilience.

I have extensive experience supporting individuals of diverse ages and backgrounds navigating life transitions, navigating the anxiety, fear, and the stress of uncertainty. I've worked with special operations veterans and their families, as a coach and guide to work through trauma, addiction, depression, anxiety, and stress.

My integral practice includes the Enneagram model, stages of development, shadow work, inner child, meditation, mindfulness, plant medicine, shamanic rituals and energy healing.
