About Me, my story and my journey

hardship can shape you in powerful ways. It was these early experiences that set me on a lifelong journey of self-discovery and healing.

My journey began in the Dominican Republic where I grew up with my mother and six siblings. Life for me from a young age was filled with many challenges. I had a difficult childhood that left me with trauma that seemed overwhelming at times. But I’ve learned that hardship can shape you in powerful ways. It was these early experiences that set me on a lifelong journey of self-discovery and healing.

Today, I live in Florida with my wonderful husband and our four children. I’m passionate about sharing what I’ve learned along the way—because I believe in the power of speaking my truth. I hope it inspires others to heal and find the strength that comes from embracing life’s ups and downs. Practicing Reiki and reconnecting spiritually has been pivotal in my journey, helping me let go of past pain and guiding others toward their own paths of growth and fulfillment.

I have a few passions that keep me grounded and joyful. Cooking is one of my favorite ways to connect, and there’s nothing better than seeing someone’s face light up when they taste a dish made with love. Growing up, I would eagerly get the newspaper just to find new recipes and experiment in the kitchen. Cooking for me is about nurturing, a way to show love and bring people together.

Life can be tough, but I believe in choosing joy, unconditional love, and light. I’m here to help you see that happiness isn’t just possible; it’s yours to claim. So, let’s dive in, discover what we love, and grow together. There’s so much beauty to be found when we live with intention and let go of what no longer serves us.

About Me, my story and my journey

If you’ve been unable to find happiness or success in your life, it could be time to turn inward. A lot of what we experience in childhood can cause us to close ourselves off from the world. It can affect our lives and relationships, and we often don’t ask ourselves why that is.

In my book, Rising Above Adversity: Healing and Nurturing Your Inner Child, I share my story of growing up in the Dominican Republic and immigrating to the United States. By telling my truth, I hope to help others work through their trauma and rise above it. Choosing happiness and embracing forgiveness helped me heal, and it can help you too. Together, we can break the generational cycle and turn trauma into love and life.
