Summary

I am a woman who spent her childhood on a small farm, surrounded by chickens, cows, and horses. A woman who, guided by a spiritual path, lived as a missionary in rural areas, where I met incredible human beings and discovered the deep value of living in community.

I’m also a woman who came to motherhood a little later in life, and from that moment on, began exploring new teachings and mentors such as The 11 Steps of Magic by José Luis Parise, the Yuen Method by Dr. Kam Yuen, and Access Consciousness by Gary Douglas.

These teachings have deeply enriched my life and the mission I carry out through education.
