I’m from the mountains of the native lands of Borikén (PR), currently love living, paddling rivers, talking to dogs, and gardening in Skokie, IL. Beyond credentials, I’m also a 3rd generation Santigüadora (traditional healer), a Reiki, Thanatology, and Somatics partner in health-practitioner centering on Companionship’s importance.

I specialize in trauma-informed care creating safe healing spaces for communities around their sexual and reproductive health, natural gynecology, fertility, womb/pelvic care, transitions of life, traditional prenatal, cuarentena, and postpartum care, sexual trauma experiences, FGM/refugee post-traumas, reproductive/fertility loss, and pregnancy loss (miscarriages and stillbirths) journeys, and have +20 years of experience in the field.  

I’m passionate about community health education, and I do so by respecting and preserving our communities’ innate cultural healing practices within an evidence-based approach balancing the Midwife Care Model and the Ancestral Comadronas-Santigüadoras practice. I’m a native Spanish speaker and can also work in French and Moroccan-Arabic.

I came to bodywork in 2009, shortly after moving to the Chicago area.  I graduated from the Cortiva Institute in 2010, and started my practice in 2011.  I believe that the body is amazing and beautiful, and that we often need guidance in being kind to it.  That guidance is what I bring to my clients.  My goal is to help people live happier and more comfortably in their bodies through a combination of bodywork, energy work, and education.  I perform what I call intuitive massage combining Swedish, deep tissue, myofascial, hot/cold therapies, trigger point therapy, and more depending on each individuals needs.  For those who are embarking on pregnancy and childbirth, I offer fertility, prenatal, labor, and postpartum massage options, as well as therapeutic massage for those who are not in one of those categories.  In addition to being a licensed massage therapist I am also a Reiki Master Teacher, Certified Infant Massage Instructor, and a birth doula.  All services have virtual options available.
