I was born and raised in Oakland. My family is from Mexico. I'm a loving mother of 6 beautiful children. I feel proud of my accomplishments in life. I love myself and I love what I do.

My educational accomplishments include Certified Authentic Tantric® Practitioner trauma informed, ACS Certified Sexologist, Certified Therapeutic Art Life Coach, majored in Business Administration Management, as well as studies in dance, art, alternative medicine somatic healing body work and BDSM/Kink.

For me, becoming certified in the field of tantra and sexology was not something I had planned. As a sexual abuse survivor and coming from a lineage of generational trauma unraveled my life's path into a profound search of healing transformation. It was then that I was gifted and welcomed into my Tantric medicine pathway to ignite self love and heal myself for balanced wellness.

It wasn't until I learned how to fully embody these Authentic Tantric® practices that I truly came to inhabit every part of myself and who I am. I slowly started to find my way back to "me". As layers of trauma, shame, fear, and pain began to shed away. I could begin to feel all of my life's pleasures slowly return with such bliss, gratitude and power.

I bring my own experiences as well as working with others who have experienced trauma to share, grow, awaken and heal others. Many of us have obscurations that can block and get in the way from being able to embrace our happiness, our self love and our power to experience all pleasures. I'm grateful and honored to be able to share all about how Authentic Tantra® has worked for me and how it can work for you as well. My intention is to help you shed off the blocks that are in the way of your true self. I’m here to provide guidance and coaching to become balanced and awakened in the body, mind, spirit and sex.

This knowledge was truly gifted to me and I intend to share it with the world. I have faced the darkest aspects of myself and I have faced the most blissful enlightenment. I accept and love it all. It is from a place of self love that we can expand. The release of fears and embracement of beauty within us all is such an accomplishment. Freedom from all suffering!

Authentic Tantra® is a holistic healing modality rooted in the Lineage of Tibetan Tantra specifically the Tibetan 5 Elemental Healing practices and the 4 pillars as well as compatible disciplines from Daoist Sexual Yoga, Somatic Sexual Healing, Nonviolent Communication and Western Science. The 4 pillars consist of meditation, movement, connection and pleasure. This is a pathway of enlightenment to heal the body, mind. spirit and sexual wellness.

The 5 Element Teachings stem from The Shangpa Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism. Many of these teachings have been passed down in an oral tradition from teacher to student for over 1200 years. These methods help to heal the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health become enriched and balanced.

The 4 pillars of meditation, movement, connection and pleasure are also used to heal suffering and awaken pleasure potential. This is to awaken all forms of pleasure not limited to sexual pleasure but to include physical/sensual pleasure, emotional and spiritual pleasure as well.

The Tibetan 5 Elemental Healing practices and 4 pillars show us how to use pleasure as medicine. Pleasure is medicine because these sexual and non-sexual practices involve body based somatic healing using a combination of breath, touch and awareness to heal all trauma. This is an effective modality for healing and life transformation to result in better health and wellness.
