(and tap into my Peruvian ancestry for a variety of other healing practices)

I believe we can alter and altar our life:
There is magic in the mundane...
​bliss in the banal.

Radiant and beautiful.
Life is ceremony.
The day is your dharma.
You chose this life on planet Earth... now make the most of it!

​✨

I spent my childhood, teenage years and twenties in a dissociated and disembodied blur, most of which I can’t remember, especially with the introduction of drugs and alcohol in my teens.

In my thirties I “got it together” and finally did this thing everyone else was doing- being responsible and “adulting”.

From the outside I probably seemed successful and happy, but I was withering daily. It got to the point where I became suicidal because I had NO idea how to live life. I was either out of body or miserable doing the 3D/real world thing.

I was totally frazzled, ungrounded, and desperate (DESPERATE) for change.
​I finally realized things wouldn't change until I did- I needed to honor my heart, myself.


In my practice of yoga and Ayurveda (yoga’s sister science) I realized it’s the little things we do all day, every day that add up to the biggest impact on our life- mind, body and SPIRIT. Potent life transformations occur when the wisdom of Ayurveda is incorporated into daily rhythms. And ESPECIALLY when we begin to see everything through the lens of the sacred and ceremonial. The mundane can be magical, the banal can be blissful. The 3D earthly plane is a gift, but we must learn to navigate it well, especially as starseeds.

Mental and physical well-being is possible for us, if we’re willing to show up, ground and make the space for change and healing. And when we honor the day-to-day as well as spirit. When we alter, we altar. And our connection to the astral gets even STRONGER as we root into the earth. 🌎✨🌏


My daily practices of Ayurvedic habits, yoga, meditation and soul-guidance have rewarded me with a blessed life. 🙏🌈💕

You are always surrounded and guided! But it is YOU who must take ACTION.

I spent a transformative month living at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health getting my 200 hour yoga teacher certification. I received my 85 hour pre/postnatal certificate through the Bhakti Yoga Center in Portland, OR. I have trained as a Kundalini Yoga Teacher, and continue to practice, through Ra Ma Institute.

✨

I've completed the Ayurvedic Health Counselor program from the California College of Ayurveda with 600 hours of studies, and trained more than 200 hours in Ayurveda and habit change with Cate Stillman and Dr. Vasant Laad.

✨

For Akashic Records readings, I have studied with Ashley Hämäläinen of ALN Within. I am an Usui/ Holy Fire®III/ New Earth Reiki: Level I & II practitioner, certified through Purnima Chaudhari.

✨

My Shamanic practices have been nurtured through the Last Mask Center and I continue to study with a variety of teachers with long-standing and profound wisdom.
I’ve learned a great deal, but still have so much more to learn through all the individuals I work with.
