My Story

I grew up in rural Venezuela during the late 60s, filled with magic and pure joy. The youngest of five, in a highly academic family. I was a hyper creative, very perceptive, precocious little girl. I taught myself to read and devoured every book I could find.  Music and art became some of my greatest passions, and I excelled at both. I started my first business in 4th grade. School was a joy for me, and I thrived academically.  

​

However, as I grew older, something began to shift within myself.  I started to feel off in my once-magical inner world. It felt wrong, unaccepted, worthless...

 

I started to believe that if something that was so real, fulfilling and wonderful for me had no value to others, then I must be the one who's wrong.

I MUST BE A MISTAKE.

 

This shameful perception of myself led me to disconnect from what made me feel fully alive.  I began believing that I was deeply unworthy of love and connection. Even though there were no major traumatic events, I silently began doubting my right exist.  It was hell, but I didn't know it, as my younger self didn't think there was a different way to live.  This contributed to a ripple of unfortunate events way into my 50's.

​

Confused, scared, and desperate, my younger self adopted the strategy of trying to be "better than good" to fit in.  I numbed out and denied my true feelings and my needs, disconnecting from my true nature to hide what I believed to be my inherent flaws.  You see, as children, we are wired to seek connection and avoid rejection. So for me, staying connected to my joy became a threat to staying connected to others.  So, the little girl I was then decided that being herself was dangerous, scary, and just plain wrong.  I didn't know it at the time or even as an adult, but these patterns stayed deeply embedded in my subconscious, shaping all my relationships and my entire life.

​

Despite consciously knowing that I wasn't inherently bad and had gifts to offer, my emotional response always overruled any possible logic.

 

Up until early 2020, it didn't matter whether I had success, love, money, all my needs met, or faced wild challenges on the brink of homelessness as a single mom; I was chronically unhappy, filled with fear and self-loathing either way. It seemed I was destined to carry this burden, but pretended I was ok. 

No one would have ever thought I was feeling this way.

​

Until another major breakdown in my life happened a few years ago.  Within one month, I became an empty nester, my mama moved in with me, I experienced financial loss while recovering from a work injury that left me unemployable, lost health insurance, and entered menopause. All through a worldwide pandemic.

 

I couldn't ignore the wake-up call any longer.

​

Up until then, over the course of four decades and three divorces, I had unconsciously been validating my "wrongness" time and time again, trying different paths, places and professions. Despite therapy, counseling, personal growth and spiritual journeys, in addition to countless life changes, I still struggled with the belief that I was fundamentally flawed and unworthy of love. 

​

But then, Rapid Transformational Therapy® appeared in my life. First as a client, then a student and now as a therapist, this life-changing work helped me identify the origins of all the struggles that paralyzed me. This allowed me to understand those outdated beliefs, and see how they served a purpose then.  This gave me the ability to easily reframe and shift them, giving me access to my spark, true joy, and inner peace, like never before.

​

Today, I thrive in a newfound relationship with my magical inner world.

​

I continue unlearning the old, relearning to embrace and embody my true nature, my voice, my gifts, and my unique light.

I've healed and created a safe, loving space for my inner child, who lives in my world now. The harsh inner chatter has faded away, and I navigate through it efficiently and with self-compassion, as I grow more into myself.

​

This transformation has allowed me to reclaim my brain capacity, confidence and self-trust, which gives me incredible energy and ability to continue to heal and create more alignment in life. 

​

For the past couple of years as an RTT® Therapist, my healed, whole heart and mindset keep growing stronger, embodied at the core of all I am and do in my world, supporting others through my private practice, workshops and retreats.

I can confidently say that I have arrived back to mySelf.  

​

And I know the best years are yet to come!

 

 

For the first time in all my adult life

I can honestly say that

I LOVE MY LIFE

not because it's "perfect",

but because

it is an honor to be ME,

creating my own masterpiece of it

as I keep moving forward.
