I grew up in northern California and lived all over the world before residing in Los Angeles where I get to surf and am a movement facilitator.
With over 10 years of experience, I have worked with hundreds of clients and created well-being programs using various tools to deepen the mind-body connection through body movement, breath, and sound journeys.
My journey and career have afforded me the opportunity to discover healing methods and different modalities from all over the world. This allows me to provide workshops, fundraisers, and consulting for individuals and businesses, including Equinox, Slalom, and Selina.
Currently, I offer one-on-one personal training and teach group classes both in Los Angeles and virtually.
HOW DO YOU EMBRACE DIVERSITY AND/OR UNCONVENTIONALITY?
From a young age, I took the entrepreneurial route learning how to build and run grassroots businesses, pivoted in-person services online during the pandemic, and provided mentorship and coaching for hundreds of professionals equipping them with tools to live the best version of themself. These experiences led me to collaborations with talented leaders in wellness, skincare, fashion, and packaged foods.
The best part of this transition was fulfilling my dreams of seeing the world, experiencing diverse cultures, and stepping out of my comfort zone. By moving my personal training and CPG business online, I fostered a sense of connection during challenging times, which provided me with stability while traveling and living in various countries.
HOW DO YOU EXPRESS YOURSELF CREATIVELY?
I find my creative outlets change depending on my energy and where I am in my cycle. I enjoy gardening and learning about herbalism, I play music, sing, dance, and enjoy sharing moments and connecting with others through food.
HOW DO YOU THINK YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE COMMUNITY? WHAT DO YOU FEEL YOU ARE AN EXPERT IN AND COULD GIVE ADVICE TO THE COMMUNITY ON?
I wish to contribute to building a foundation for Hermanas’ well-BEING. I value being able to collaborate with a team of experienced individuals and having fun in the process. My background has been focused on consulting and building client relationships, e-commerce within wellness and certified package goods category.
SHARE A VERY VALUABLE INSIGHT YOU DERIVE FROM YOUR PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE WITH THE WORLD:
Taking the entrepreneurial path wasn't part of a grand plan; I was learning as I went. I remember the first version of my product and how “incomplete” it was. Friends shared how they wouldn't share their product unless it was perfect, fearing criticism would halt their progress. However, launching my product opened countless opportunities. I connected with people and brands I otherwise wouldn't have encountered. Starting something may not yield the final or best product initially, but I believe in continuous refinement. Having the product out, rather than waiting for the perfect moment, enabled me to share my vision and beliefs.
