A Journey Within
What followed was a profound healing journey, guided by sacred entheogenic medicines, ancestral teachings, and spiritual remembrance. These paths reawakened something deep within me and reminded me of who I truly am. I knew in my heart that I would return to be of service to others again but this time, in a way that felt aligned, embodied, and true.
Since 2017, I’ve walked closely with entheogenic medicines. At first, my focus was solely on my own healing. But as I experienced the depth of transformation they offered, I felt a clear calling to go deeper - not just for myself, but to one day support others on their path. That calling eventually led me deep into the Amazon jungle of Peru, where I began the sacred process of dieting plants and studying closely under Maestro Don Miguel. There, I was initiated into the Shipibo traditions, learning through plant dietas, sacred icaros, energetic cleansing practices, and spiritual protection rituals. These teachings reconnected me to the wisdom of the Earth, the plant spirits, and my own body.
A big part of my healing journey has been finding my way back to my Mexican roots, especially through the sacred medicine of cacao. Spending time in Mexico and Guatemala, I learned from Mayan elders and farmers about its ceremonial use and deep spiritual significance. Cacao has become a gentle, loving ally - opening my heart, deepening presence, and guiding emotional healing. In 2020, I birthed Soul of Mexico, a heart-led offering to honor my ancestors and support Indigenous artisans through handcrafted jewelry, hats, and textiles. It’s a way to share the beauty, spirit, and resilience of Mexico with love and intention.
Today, I’m deeply honoured to weave together all that I’ve lived, learned, and remembered - my, personal healing journey, my background in social work, and the spiritual and ancestral teachings that continue to guide me. I’ve nurtured this offering quietly and intentionally, allowing it to unfold in right relationship and divine timing.
I believe in the resilience, strength, and wisdom that lives within all of us, especially in women who have fought hard to reclaim it.
Wherever you are on your path, know this: you are not alone. Healing is possible. And your return to self is sacred.
Born and raised in Canada to an Indigenous mother from Guerrero, Mexico and a Canadian father, I grew up between two very different cultural worlds - each carrying its own stories of survival, and resilience. My early life was shaped by poverty, homelessness, mental health challenges, addiction, ancestral trauma, and emotional disconnection.
By 14, I was navigating survival mode: facing the weight of mental illness, an abusive relationship, and the ripple effects of addiction and illness in my family. For a long time, I felt lost - disconnected from my spirit, my truth, and my roots.
Yet, deep within, I carried a quiet knowing that life held something more. That knowing led me to pursue a childhood dream: to become a social worker. For seven years, I supported individuals, especially women through navigating the same systems my family and I had once leaned on.
I poured my heart into the work, but over time, I began to see how broken and limiting those systems truly were. I was giving everything I had but it didn’t feel like enough. The emotional toll, compounded by my own unhealed pain, eventually led to burnout. I knew that it was time for me to take aa step back.
That breaking point became a doorway....
