Frequently Asked Questions

Where do The 3 Soul Shifts come from?

The 3 Soul Shifts are the outcome of my personal struggle to free my inner light. You can read my story here.


I developed these spiritual teachings over the last decade while communing with Source and intentionally reflecting on the pitfalls and detours I encountered on my journey.


Through that process I came to realize that there was a reason why I couldn’t find a path that directly spoke to my soul and clearly addressed the root of my pain for so many years.


And that reason is that I was sent here to blaze a new path for myself and other brave open-hearted soul leaders in the making.

Who are your spiritual teachings for?

The 3 Soul Shifts provide a powerful and direct path to wise, empowered, soul-inspired living and are for anyone who is genuinely open-hearted and committed to answering the call to unleash their inner light in the world.


My spiritual teachings transcend the boundaries of any particular religion or belief system, and are grounded in the Universal Truth that we are all Sacred Divine Beings of Love and are One with and deeply interconnected with All That Is.

What do you call the Divine?

God, Spirit, Source, Divine Mother, Divine Father, Loving Will of the Universe, All That Is, Sacred Mother, Sacred Father.

When will your book be released?

I plan to release it by the end of 2024. To get notified, you can sign up for my newsletter here.

What should I look for in a spiritual coach?

The best spiritual coach for you is someone who ultimately embodies the kind of energy that resonates with your soul. It's their particular energy frequency that will ultimately have the greatest impact on you and your spiritual journey.


If you're an open-hearted soul, then at a minimum you also need a spiritual coach who shows true compassion, a deep connection to inner wisdom, and the expertise to help you navigate your unique challenges. Look also for clarity and kindness in their approach and a commitment to providing a heart-centered and engaging coaching experience.


Find someone you trust to help you navigate the depths of your being and create a life that's fully aligned with your soul values.

What life challenges have you faced?

Life has been quite the journey for me! Growing up my family dealt with tough stuff like addiction, incarceration, and intergenerational trauma. And we faced significant financial and housing instability at times. I remember worrying as a 10-year old about whether there'd be enough money for school or even basic things like milk in the fridge.


I've also known my fair share of grief. At 16, I lost a member of my soul family in a tragic way. Needing to leave my family behind at 18 to make my way alone in the U.S. was another big hurdle. And as an adult, I've also been impacted by deep heartbreak, divorce, loss of family members to cancer, toxic work environments, and a challenging recovery from a major long-term illness.


Even on my spiritual path, I had to leave a community that was everything to me but that no longer felt right for me. As challenging as those experiences were, they all served a purpose. They showed me the power of unconditional love and my commitment to spreading light in the world.


And they allow me as a spiritual coach to better understand and serve my clients though their own personal struggles and challenges. As I enter the fourth decade of my life, it feels like I've lived so many lives already. The truth is I feel extremely blessed knowing that no matter what life has thrown at me, I've continued to show up bravely open-hearted each day.

Where are you from?

I grew up biculturally between the East Coast of the U.S. (where I was born) and the Dominican Republic (where my parent's are from). I spent most of my 20's and 30's living and working in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. In 2019, my husband and I decided we were ready to start a new adventure. We sold our home and now live in a beautiful artsy beach town in sunny Florida.

What is your MBTI, spiritual profile, and life path number?

I'm a very introverted ENFP! I am boundlessly creative, curious, and imaginative, excited by meaning and possibilities, naturally warm and empathetic, gifted at helping others to truly open up, and driven to support and uplift those around me while making a real difference in the world.


My spiritual profile is an interesting combination. I'm a Virgo Sun (extremely hardworking, service-oriented, and analytical), Scorpio Moon (highly perceptive and intuitive with a deeply emotional side), and Aries Rising (I give off fiery, passionate, confident leader vibes).


Imagine my reaction when I discovered in 2022 that my life path and soul urge numbers are both a master number 33. This number is considered to be a rare master teacher number and is associated with Christ Conciousness, unconditional love, inner child joy, heartfelt creative expression, and emotional sensitivity.

What are your gifts as a spiritual coach?

As a spiritual coach, I am blessed with a unique set of gifts to help support beautiful souls on their life path.


I radiate an open-hearted loving energy that helps others feel deeply seen and welcomed, so even the most introverted or sensitive souls feel safe and inspired to open up in my presence.


My boundless joy, curiosity, and enthusiam are a source of inspiration for others and allow me to relate to and connect with many different people. And my healing energy provides a sense of peace and comfort to those who need it.


I am also highly intuitive and a gifted communicator, so I can quickly get to the truth of an issue, pick up on blocks that my clients don't even know about, and offer clear and direct insights.


And I know how to spot and navigate common defense mechanisms that come up during spiritual coaching.


Having personally walked the path I teach, my clients also appreciate that I'm a natural problem solver who offers real-world wisdom and a practical approach to spiritual coaching that transcends modalities.


I also love weaving my creative gifts into everything I do. This helps my clients more deeply engage with the spiritual teachings and spiritual practices I offer them.

Is spiritual coaching like therapy?

No, as a spiritual coach, I never diagnose or treat mental health disorders. The individuals I work with are both mentally stable and highly functional from society's point of view. And yet they feel that something deeply essential is missing from their lives.


As a spiritual coach, my focus is on helping you wake up to your sacred inner wholeness, so you can reclaim your soul power and shift out of the painful fear-based patterns that are keeping you feeling small and powerless in one or more of the key areas of your life.

What's the best way to work with you?

My individual spiritual coaching sessions are open to anyone and are a great fit for those who want to delve into this work at a slower pace or who only need occassional support.


My spiritual group coaching program is open only to women at this time and is perfect for those who are looking for the quickest and most direct path to freeing their inner light along with a loving supportive community, and regular weekly group coaching.

Do you offer group coaching for men?

Not at this time, but it's something I may offer in the future. However, you can still work with me through my individual spiritual coaching sessions.

How can I join your group program?

Thank you for your interest in our spiritual group coaching program. We'd love to have you join us. Please make sure to sign up for the waitlist here so we can notify you as soon as admission opens for the later half of 2024.

What if I'm scared to do this work?

Feeling scared does not mean that there's a problem or that you're not ready to free your inner light. It just means you're scared.


We've all been there. Scared of change. Scared of the unknown. Scared of the identities and relationships we fear we'll have to let go off. Scared of becoming the brave soul-inspired leader we're called to be in this world.


Answering the call of your soul is the bravest thing you can do, so it's naturally going to bring up a lot of fear. If there was no fear, there would be no need to be brave.


I can teach you to work with your fear through an individual coaching session or my spiritual group coaching program for brave open-hearted women.

What languages do you speak fluently?

I speak both English and Spanish fluently, with Spanish being my native tongue.
