I am a proud Latina, born and raised in San Diego in a loving Mexican-American family.

Like many women, I found myself trapped in a relentless cycle of dieting from the tender age of 12.

For nearly two decades, I wrestled with bingeing, yo-yo dieting, and low self-confidence. My relationship with food and my body seemed beyond repair.

While I was secretly battling these issues, I was still able to thrive in my studies and my career. I earned B.A. in Psychology & Business Administration from USC and Master's degrees in Organizational Psychology.

Following this, I built a rewarding 13-year career at Google, where I coached high-level tech executives build and run successful teams and products.

However, my true passion was always in the areas of holistic wellness and personal development. Since my early teens you could find me reading self-development books, and I went on to gain certificates in areas such as yoga, pilates, health coaching, and life coaching.

These experiences equipped me with the tools and mindset shifts necessary to evolve into the version of myself I am today—a person who has navigated through high highs and low lows and emerged stronger.

Now, I am here to walk with you on your journey, providing you with loving support and hope as you step into the new version of yourself.
