My family immigrated from Jalisco, Mexico. I was born in the South Bay, in California, AKA Tongva Land.

My medicine is Bridging the gap between Western Mental Health and Indigenous ways of healing, in order to guide BIPOC find their inner strength, by connecting to their roots, to release what no longer serves them, and move from a place of uncertainty to self-empowerment. Because Healing is to be tapped into and released in order to be free.

I’m proud of being a first generation, Xicana, with a Master’s Degree Because my parents worked HARD to get me to where I am today, and this is for them and for the next 7 generations. I am proud of being a Mom of three sensitive, energetic & playful semillas. I am proud of being a business owner/entrepreneur and making my own $. And I am proud of my poetry because writing helps me heal.

I began my Spiritual Journey 20 years ago, through Danza Mexica and attending Indigenous Ceremonies, and this was when I began to feel WHOLE. To re-connect to my roots and indigenous ancestors has taught me so much about who I was, who I was becoming, and who I am today. I began feeling balanced and am now wanting to return the wisdom and knowledge that has been passed down to us by our ancestors.

I also have a Master's Degree in Social Work, and have 13 years of experience working in the mental health field. And this is where both my Spiritual Journey and my Therapist journey have come together to bEarth Mariposa Ancestral Practices.
