Natural Health

I have been noticing lately how my focus is mostly on the physical body. Don't get me wrong, my fascination with the spirit, mental, and emotional side of our selves is very strong. However, I am finding that the body is the one part that gets very neglected. Either lack of information, or lack of motivation, leaves us in a state of imbalance and at the hands of doctors who do little but prescribe mindlessly.

The more I learn, the more that I realize that the body is one of the easiest things to correct and "make healthy". My approach is one of natural, holistic, organic eating, herbal therapy, vitamin & mineral supplementation, mindful exercise, and energy healing.  The thing is: the body can affect our spirit, our mind, and our emotions. It is our vessel throughout life!

Since I began my Pilates instructor training, I have been more consistent with my workouts, and have noticed an incredible positive difference in my mood. That combined with more nutrition education, convinced me that the body is an incredible powerhouse! What a beautiful physical gift to have. It's design is perfect.

Although we are not given a manual on how to effectively take care of it, to be happy, healthy, and free of disease is possible.

From now on, I'll begin to focus more on this area as a educator and coach. I'm really looking forward helping people transform and improve their well being.


Love yourselves. Love the body that you are in.


You have no idea how blessed you are! (And if you do, stay in gratitude!)

Many Blessings,

My very own Etsy store. It has been a journey to overcome my fear of success and acknowledge that this was possible. It's one step at a time, but slowly seeing progress. The support from my beloved friends and family have made this all possible.

This store is dedicated to my Abuelita (grandmother) who rejoined the Light, leaving this physical realm October of last year. I feel her strongly with me guiding and supporting every move to make this endeavor a reality. She was an herbalist by tradition and an amazing healer. Her footsteps are too big to follow, but her path is definitely worth traveling. Some of her legacy through herbal remedies and folkloric rituals is what I'll share with you all.

It's amazing how much we take for granted on our daily grinds. I'm making efforts daily to live more presently and love and enjoy everything and everyone around me. The Universe is supporting me and I feel the Love! Here's the proof:

There's much more to come. I listed a few things just to get the ball rolling. Believe me, inventory is WAY bigger than that. Stay tuned for the fully manifested dream!

Thanks for the support.

Sending Love and Light your way,
