As a Mambo, Bruja, and Witch, my journey began when I met my first teacher at seventeen in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I saw one of her dance performances and was drawn to her classes. Through dance, I noticed profound changes—both physically and spiritually. When she later offered classes in mysticism, meditation, and spiritual healing for women, I eagerly signed up. It was here that I first learned how energy moves through the body and synchronizes with the Earth.
For those new to the spiritual path, it’s important to understand that healing is not linear—it is cyclical. That’s why true spiritual guides often seem to exist outside the boundaries of what we call "normal." I do not claim to be a master, but I am always a student of the mysteries.
I studied belly dancing and women’s spirituality for four years before pursuing a career in technical theater in Long Island, New York. As I became immersed in the fast-paced world of theater, my spiritual studies faded, and imbalance crept back into my life. Six years later, in a moment of personal crisis, I reached out for guidance. That was the beginning of the second cycle of my spiritual education.
At that time, I was introduced to Sanse Espiritismo, a folkloric shamanic tradition with roots in Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico. I had no set expectations—only the deep knowing that this was where I needed to be.
Spiritual traditions like these have endured through wars, plagues, and injustices, serving as a source of healing, justice, and empowerment. The sacred rites, rituals, and teachings passed down through generations provide access to wisdom beyond modern medical practices.
As my career progressed, I traveled the world working backstage on theatrical productions. Amid 80-hour workweeks, I continued my studies, adapting rituals and spiritual practices to life on the road. I found ways to maintain my connection—whether on a tour bus, in hotel rooms, arena locker rooms, truck trailers, backstage theaters, or gas station parking lots. I traveled to Singapore, across Europe, down to Costa Rica, and throughout the United States at least ten times over. Along the way, I studied botany and plant identification, often growing fresh herbs in milk-crate planters to continue my work.
My altar began as a suitcase filled with spiritual supplies. I carried it everywhere—until one day, at baggage claim, I found it duct-taped back together, my belongings spilling out onto the conveyor belt. Strangers handed me colored candles, small cloth bags, a wooden box covered in burn marks, wax, glitter, and spiritual waters. That was when I learned: the tools do not make the practitioner. Over time, my traveling altar evolved into a simple roll of fabric and a few sacred items.
This path has led me to experiences I never expected. I remember walking near an arena during a European tour, searching for a quiet place to meditate. I came across a clearing with a small tent—someone’s home. Instead of continuing, I turned back to the tour bus, packed bags of food and supplies, and quietly left them inside the tent. In a world consumed with self-interest, my spiritual work has opened my eyes beyond my own needs.
Of course, struggles came with the journey—especially as one of the few successful women in my industry. But as a Bruja, I have learned to empower my spiritual work to light my path forward. Problems at work?
There’s a recipe for that.
Issues in love?
There’s a recipe for that.
Financial struggles?
There’s a recipe for that.
Spiritual attacks?
Time to consult and do the work that needs to be done.
When you reach the peak that you seek,
You will find it is quite meek.
For the space that you seek,
Cannot be found on any peak.
Seek the mirror and you will see,
The peak you seek is within your meat.
After years of traveling and deepening my spiritual studies, I realized the road would not lead me to what I was seeking. My practice had outgrown parking lots, backstage spaces, and hotel rooms. The time had come for the next phase of my spiritual education—what my tradition calls second-level initiation. This is the sacred process that allows one to offer spiritual readings, healing, and guidance to others.
At the time, I had no idea what this meant for me. I never saw myself as a healer, a mystic, or a guide for others. But faith overruled doubt, and I stepped forward. This initiation is a profound process, revealing its lessons and blessings over time. Out of deep respect for my lineage, that is all I can share about our training.
If you’re wondering why any of this matters, you’re on the right track. My journey—my trials, gifts, and lessons—only have meaning if they can be shared.
My experiences have given me the tools to help others find peace, clarity, and strength. That is my purpose.
The goal of spiritual work is to live well—with love, power, and unity. I offer simple, time-honored spiritual solutions that have worked for thousands of years. I will always be a student of the mysteries, grateful every day for the lessons I’ve received.
If you need guidance, book a session, and let’s see what can be done. If I’m not the right person to help, I will refer you to someone who can. My intention is simple: to pass down what has been given to me so that you may walk your path with wisdom and strength.
It is not the feet that move forward,
Tis the Fuerza.
The body is but a tool,
Use it wisely.
