About me

I am an architect by profession, mother of an affectionate boy, a Colombian living in Canada, a foodie, yogi, dance lover, and origami fan.

I started doing yoga when I was a child with my grandmother as instructor, and ever since then, health, fitness and how we breathe have been crucial to my life. That’s the reason why I started studying Feng Shui, to relate the architecture with the healing arts.

I discovered that healing spaces was beneficial, but many times got nowhere because the internal systems of people were not healthy and ended up “contaminating” their environment. At that point, I decided to learn more about how healing could come from within…

I studied Reiki, Shiatsu, Hypnotherapy and other energy field techniques to complement 

After practicing for several years these healing modalities, I did a few yoga teacher trainings in South Africa and India, and started ‘bridging’ all the other healing arts through yoga. In a way, closing a circle coming back to the roots and in another, broadening the possibilities and combinations of this.

And then there is the school of life. I’ve also been through a lot.

I struggled with womanhood, had trouble conceiving and a result got divorced, relocated countries five times, became a mother late in life (38), had problems with my endocrine system, and I am currently happy, healthy and feel in better shape than in my 20’s.

I am also a single parent, a job that I adore and cherish as a blessing.

All the challenges and grieving processes I have gone through have propelled my own healing. I have deepened the connection with my inner self and built (yes, like an architect! 🙂 ) energetic balance.

Your Journey

I care about you and your own journey. I care how we can co-create the life you want, so you can smile and enjoy the journey no matter how challenging it might seem.

My mission is to empower as many souls I can to be like the Phoenix, and rise from whatever struggles to a fuller version of themselves.

I am the scaffolding while you set up the building blocks of the life you have always dreamt about!

So ground down, protect yourself, cross the bridge and let’s grow together.

Namaste,
Claudia.
