My healing journey began over 20 years ago when I stepped into my first yoga class and quickly realized health isn’t something we can compartmentalize.  I was a college student at the University of San Francisco and was struggling with anxiety, depression, and a multitude of other health issues.  At the time, I believed being socially and academically put together equaled good health and happiness. 

 

I’ll never forget the day I burst into tears during a yoga class-I felt so uncomfortable, out of control, vulnerable, and yet-FREE.  I was finally able to own my anxiety and depression, sit in my truth, and thus my healing journey began.

 

I dove deeper into the healing arts and learned to face the trauma my family and I experienced as immigrants from El Salvador when I was an infant.  I was able to make the connection between trauma and the impact it has on our physical and mental well-being. 

 

Furthermore, the awareness of how these experiences were affecting me as an adult, led me to heal trans-generational patterns while  learning to nurture and accept all aspects of myself- especially the parts I had denied for a long time.  

 

I’m forever grateful for holistic health care and fully embrace a mind, body, spirit approach when working with patients.  As my healing journey continues, my passion to help others heal continues to grow.  By no means do I have it all figured out or have all the answers, but I’ve acquired some very helpful tools which I’m happy to share with you.
