My Story

I was born in Colombia and moved to the UK at fifteen, leaving behind everything I had ever known. My mum, my first love, my language, my home. A few months after arriving, just before my sixteenth birthday, I lost my mum to cancer.

That loss has been the most painful experience of my life, and sixteen years later, I am still navigating the waves of grief.

And then, unexpectedly, life offered me a new beginning. At seventeen, I was welcomed into a family who treated me as their own from the very first day. I often feel it was my mum who sent this blessing my way.

The years that followed were marked by self-abandonment. I searched for love in places that left me feeling more alone. I tied my worth to how I looked and whether I was chosen. I carried so much shame and judgement for my choices, for the relationships I stayed in, for the ways I betrayed myself without knowing that is what I was doing. It showed up in my body as an eating disorder, a long and painful war with myself. It showed up as losing the thread of joy entirely.

I didn't yet understand that this pain lived not only in my mind, but in my body.

Yoga became the beginning of my return. Through breath, movement, and stillness, I started to come back to myself. Meditation helped me see and feel what I had spent years avoiding. And slowly I discovered that my body already held a map, a natural rhythm of rest and expansion, of turning inward and opening outward, that when I learned to follow it, changed everything.

Around this time the moon became a quiet ally. She has been a companion and mirror since my early twenties, reflecting back the same cycles that live within us. Following her rhythms led me to understand my own, and eventually to gather women in circle around her light.

As my relationship with my body deepened, so did my relationship with my womb. I began to understand it not just as a physical space but as a place of memory, power, and ancestral wisdom, carrying stories that were not only mine but inherited through my female lineage. This understanding changed the way I relate to myself and the way I hold space for others.

That path led me to my first yoga teacher training in India, to study non-dual Tantra and embodied teaching, and eventually to deepen my understanding of the feminine body and its wisdom through yoga therapy, womb work, and menstrual cycle awareness.

My studies continue to this day. I am currently immersed in the Red School Menstruality Leadership Programme, a training I feel called to at the very bones of me.

Today I am in a relationship with my body rooted in respect and awareness. I still have days where I struggle. What has changed is my capacity to meet those moments with compassion.

This lived experience is the foundation of everything I offer.
