About me
I grew up in Miami in a Honduran-Cuban-Venezuelan family, surrounded by music, dance, family and culture. My dad loved to dance, and my mum passed down a deep connection to our ancestry and indigenous roots. I was dancing from a young age — competing, performing and eventually teaching.
Dance was always more than something I did. It was one of the places I felt most like myself: playful, sensual, expressive, free and fully alive.
Then I moved to London unexpectedly in my early twenties and left behind almost everything I knew — my family, friends, culture and the community that had reflected me back to myself.
I didn't realise it at the time, but I was beginning a process of becoming my own person.
It was lonely. And when I later became a mother of two, that process went even deeper. Motherhood was beautiful, but it also brought so much to the surface. Old patterns. Fears. Anger. Expectations. Parts of myself I had pushed away or forgotten. I found myself asking questions about who I was, what I believed, what I needed and what kind of woman I wanted to be.
There were parts of myself I didn't like very much. And for a while, I thought those parts meant something was wrong with me. I carried SO much shame.
I had to learn a different way of looking at myself.
Instead of shaming the parts of me that were hurting, I began learning how to see them, understand them and hold them with compassion. I learned that I could take responsibility for my choices without turning against myself. That I could acknowledge where I had gone wrong, choose differently and keep going.
A lot of that work happened through years of Jungian psychotherapy, reading, reflection, spirituality and simply learning to sit with myself and my emotions.
But one of the most joyful parts of finding myself again was dance.
After sharing my body with my children and spending so much of my life caring for everyone else, dance gave me my body back. It gave me my womanhood back. It reminded me that I was still a sensual, playful, passionate, wild and joyful woman — not just a mother, partner or whatever role I happened to be playing.
During the isolation of having two very young children through Covid, I danced at home constantly. It helped me feel alive. It brought joy and lightness back into my life. It reminded me that there was a part of me that didn't depend on anyone else being happy, available or okay. That part was mine.
And I began to understand something that has become central to my work:
We don't find our power by becoming someone else. We find it by reclaiming the parts of ourselves we've given away, hidden or forgotten.
To me, rising into your power means taking responsibility for your life without blaming yourself for being human. It means being willing to tell yourself the truth. It means noticing where you are abandoning your own needs, making excuses, staying small or giving your power away — and having the courage to try something different.
It also means learning to love all of yourself.
The beautiful parts. The messy parts. The parts you're proud of and the parts you're still learning to understand.
I'm still on that journey. I don't have myself or life figured out — and I don't think we're supposed to.
What I have now is a deeper trust in myself. I know I can change. I know I can make mistakes and take responsibility for them. I know I can face difficult things without abandoning myself. And I know that every time I unravel another layer, there is an opportunity to discover something new.
That is what I want to offer other women.
A place to be honest about where they are, reconnect with their bodies, try something new, rediscover their joy and begin making choices that feel more like them.
Through transformation coaching, bodywork, movement, dance and women’s experiences, I want to help women stop giving themselves away and start choosing themselves again.
Because you are not here to stay small.
You are here to rise.
