Originally from the vibrant city of Miami, FL, a little over 20 years ago I was first introduced to Reiki energy work, an experience that challenged certain conditioned beliefs and sparked a profound curiosity about what was possible. This initial encounter led me to explore various healing modalities, and in 2005, I became a licensed massage therapist, officially opening the door to a career of hands-on healing. Massage therapy felt instinctive and natural, and I soon built a thriving private practice in South Florida.

In those early days, I worked with clients from all over the world, many of whom invited me to travel for sessions. As my practice grew, so did my desire to bring my authentic self into my work. My rich, intuitive inner world felt at odds with the societal and spiritual expectations of my upbringing, having been raised in a Christian household where esoteric & energy work wasn’t embraced. While I yearned to make a more profound impact in my clients' lives, I also found myself holding back certain aspects of my true self. This was a pivotal period in my life when I began seeking a new path that would allow for deeper connections and self-expression.

In 2011, I attended my first breathwork workshop. This experience was life-changing and ultimately led me to become a breath practitioner in 2012. Over the next five years, I immersed myself in the cathartic world of breathwork, discovering its power to facilitate emotional release and self-awareness. During this period, I also navigated significant personal challenges, including two divorces and two cross-country moves, all while raising my child as a single mother. Despite the intense demands of this time, my dedication to breathwork deepened, as I saw its profound effects on my life and my clients’ lives.

After years of dedicated practice, I reached a point where I needed to step back and reconnect with myself. During this break, I spent time reflecting, exploring my own desires, and observing the broader breathwork community. I noticed that many individuals were coming to me after having traumatic experiences with other practitioners, often due to irresponsible or unethical approaches to healing. I realized that my own foundational practices, based on compassion, ethics, and presence, had offered my clients a safe space for real transformation. This pause allowed me to renew my commitment to creating a deeply supportive and ethical environment for those seeking healing.

In late 2019, just before the pandemic, my life took another unexpected turn: I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. This experience became a profound teacher, halting my life and teaching me to embrace self-love on an entirely new level. I surrendered to the healing process fully, finding immense peace and strength along the way. This life circumstance introduced me to a slower, more intentional way of living.

Since then, I’ve transitioned to sharing breathwork only when I feel truly called. Moving abroad three years ago, I launched an international retreat company, Inhale Retreats allowing me to create immersive spaces where participants can pause from daily life and explore healing and personal growth in a supportive setting. My retreats and group sessions offer a unique blend of Energy Healing, Deep Release Bodywork, and transformative Breath Experiences.

Today, my practice integrates two decades of experience, blending my early training in massage therapy with a deep ethical foundation and an intuitive approach to healing. Breath Experience, the community I co-created, serves as a safe, inclusive space for individuals to reconnect with themselves, work through past traumas, and rediscover a sense of aliveness. From Miami to Antigua, Guatemala, where I now call home, my journey continues to evolve as I share this work with individuals from diverse backgrounds.

Each experience in my life has shaped my practice, which is built on compassion, respect, and a commitment to safety and integrity. My story, filled with challenges and growth, serves as a way to connect deeply with others and offer them a path to their own healing and transformation.

I currently offer group sessions in both Antigua and Guatemala City, as well as in my hometown of Miami when I visit. I also continue to work privately with a select group of clients when I travel. Soon, I’ll be opening my schedule for one-on-one sessions locally here in Antigua.
