I was born in Peru and had a childhood with way too many plot twists: neglect, abuse, and abandonment, leading to Complex PTSD. By 13, I had learned how to survive on my own. At 16, I was sent to Florida to live with my estranged mother and her new husband. That didn't go well at all (I will do a story time on my Instagram soon, I promise.) Somehow, I kept going, earned my master’s degree, left Florida, and built a new life in Massachusetts.​​​​​​

Most importantly, I did something that once felt unimaginable: I broke the cycle of abuse.​​

What followed was a much longer journey of learning how to move beyond survival and reconnect with my body. Years of therapy with John Griffin, one of the best trauma-informed therapist in Massachusetts, helped my mind heal, but my body wasn't catching up to my mind: chronic pain was still there and it hurt a lot to  accomplish basic daily tasks. 

After trying everything under the sun, including learning TaeKwonDo and becoming a certified Pilates instructor, I went back to Peru looking for answers, closure, and a little bit of vengeance :)

What I found was insane: it looks like I come from a long line of energy healers?? Like, what??? I can help people with MY ancestral knowledge? This is everything I've ever wanted in my life: to help people who are suffering. That's why I became a sociologist (and also why I left it... story time soon). After spending a ton of time learning about my gift, I discovered how to combine it with Pilates, breath work, stretches & heat to create the perfect environment for healing your body after trauma. 

I am now a type of Robin Hood: I work for people who are fortunate enough to afford these services so I can provide them for free to as many traumatized Latina women with history of violent crime, and as many houseless female residents of Cambridge as possible.
