From a Certified Public Accountant to a Healer and Coach 

As an accountant, I made my living with learned skills. Through more self-inquiry and walking with courage the paths that opened for me, I got to see clearly the character strengths that I wanted to put into use in the world.  More of who I was came to the forefront, bringing more fulfillment, passion, and purpose to my life.

I have been learning and working in the field of self-improvement and self-transformation for almost 20 years. I have incorporated the energy, spiritual, and coaching approaches, as well as my own life experience as the testing ground, to understand what’s required for genuine human transformation.

My Story

My being showed up earlier than expected in this world due to a disruption: my brother was 10 and a half months old and my mom was 7 months pregnant with me. She jumped out of bed to catch him from falling out of the crib and her water broke. I had to leave the womb 2 months early.

When I was a little girl, I wanted to be a gardener. I loved the smell of the watered soil, the freshly mowed lawn, and the new flowers planted by our family’s home gardener.

In my 20s I grew certain that I didn’t want a “normal” life. I didn’t know how different or in which way but for sure I didn’t want the normal plan of a college degree, getting married, and having kids kind of life.

But of course, I did all of it.

Those who study astrology believe that the adult journey of the soul starts around 28-29 years of age. That’s when we start experiencing the life lessons our soul seed has in store for us. That was true for me.

When I was 28, I rented a place with one of my best friends as a roommate. I was living in Argentina, my home country, at the time. It definitely wasn’t the norm to move out of our parent’s home before marriage but I felt strongly that I would have more room to grow if I moved out. Only then did I realize that my inner itch had started its work.

My first disruption

But my real call for adventure started on a work-related trip to Brazil. That’s where I met my soon-to-be husband, a US Navy helicopter pilot, T.W.

Let me clarify: I never dreamt of leaving my homeland and neither was I enamored of the US –like many Argentinians were, so I didn’t view this man as my “way out.”

But there was a strong inner pull – was I itching again?

An inner voice was telling me to dive in and follow through with this disruption of my normal life as I knew it. Three days after meeting him and after exchanging only email addresses we said our goodbyes, knowing we would meet again in the near future.

What came out of my mouth a week later when telling my friends and family about him was: if I were to decide between not seeing him ever again or marrying him, I would marry him.

Those words made their way to some higher power–or my inner will—and 30 days later, after calling the Naval Attaché to ask him to send a wire to this lieutenant on the ship with my phone number in it, I was visiting him in Chile against my father’s will.

To make the story short, we were married 10 months later in Argentina and my life in the US was about to begin. At that moment I also knew that my heart would be torn forever between my homeland, family, and lifetime friends, and the family I was creating in my new homeland. And so it is.

The certainty of my soul took charge for me to overcome the fears and the doubts that this decision involved. Did I know that this shake – or earthquake? – in my life was the door to new possibilities for self-transformation? On this side of the disruption, it felt comfortable but stale. On the other, there was the opportunity for a new possibility. Our soul is always wise.

Rolling with the changes

Very soon, I realized that this was a ground-zero beginning for me. Besides being new to the country, the culture, the language, and my husband (we had only spent a total of 3 months and 10 days together before we got married) I was surrounded by new people who didn’t know me at all.

I had to build and nourish my new identity one day at a time. I was starting a new life that would change my known identity and sense of self.

My 2 children were born and a new outer disruption landed in my lap: moving to Spain with the military, then back to the US to California and back to Argentina.

All these were disruptions that came without my permission from the outside, bringing with them massive changes in circumstances for me and my family. But it was my inner disruption that allowed me to face what was coming, breaking into the default mode of my comfortable and secure life.

My professional life reshaped and evolved to keep up with the inner voice that I started listening to. From CPA to astrologer, energy healer, and instructor to a life coach, I navigated what my inner self found as provocative life routes to go for, explore, dive into, and fall in love with.

The last big disruption for which life had been preparing me to equip me with clarity, inner strength, and courage was my divorce after 31 years of marriage. I found that after working so hard to establish a new identity in this country, I was facing the threat of that new identity being swept away.

At age 61, I was living on my own for the first time in my entire life and only 10 days later, the shelter-in-place order was made mandatory when the COVID 19 pandemic hit the world.

The remake

I then realized that my soul and brave inner self were ready to take charge and recreate itself through this major change. I had to let go of all the attachments, hopes, expectations, and certainties in order to dive in deeper than I ever had. What was left inside was strong, fierce, bright, raw, willing, and ready for more.

The bigger the challenge, the bigger the opportunity. And this one was big indeed. And I knew that I could become a yet newer and updated version of myself and it would take all my renewed passion.

I had to allow my emotions to roll, and be. It had to be the full me that took up these new tasks, without distractions and acknowledging everything that was going on in each fiber of my being.

Looking at how I wanted to contribute was key. Not just my well being counted, but how I could spread my new sprouts into the world was a big inspiration. The world could use what I had to give.

I also counted on the helping hands and hearts of my friends and community. We need each other and it was my time to ask and receive.

I had to pay close attention to my mind and inner conversations. I had to reframe my thoughts to keep them directed to my north because the south was still pulling me back.

I had to strengthen my skill of being that meta-observer that could put the foot down with disruptive reflections to keep my inner compass on track.

The knowing that unless we look inside and continue to disrupt what is, by pausing and reflecting, by listening to that subtle and genuine voice, by feeling the inner itch, we may continue to live in our normal state…. of numbness.

I have discovered a level of creativity within me that I had never felt before. I feel this to be a new stage in my life filled with newer than ever possibilities. I am filled with enthusiasm to move on and ahead with my life.

I think I didn’t have a normal life after all.

Does this sound familiar?

Do you want to embrace the disruptions that have shaken your life and grow or would you rather stay in the known, comfortable, keep being part of where you don’t belong anymore, and become stale?

My choice is this: pause, disrupt, take a step back, and release the slingshot. Our Soul thrives through evolution and evolution inevitably happens through change.

You and I are meant to live the life that only you and I can live, and nobody else. My life was disrupted so I could discover the life that I was meant to live. So was yours. Together, let’s find that edge, that angle, that way of living the life that allows you to live out your unique potential, purpose, and meaning. At the end of the day, you’ll look back and say, “I lived MY life to the fullest”.

I became a gardener in my own life, though not the way I planned. I want to help you do the same. To grow your inner desires and let them guide you so you can cultivate joy and passion beyond your expectations. Stay awake, disrupt yourself, and manifest your dreams!

Let’s talk about how you can be, become, and belong.
