About me

I was born in Puerto Rico but left at age 12 due to my parents’ employment. We lived in Santiago, Chile for two years, then Mexico City, Mexico for two years. We moved to Texas when I was 16 years old and I have stayed in the DFW area ever since. I received a B.A. in Spanish from a small liberal arts Catholic university, married my soul mate, received an M.A. in Modern Languages with a concentration in Spanish at a local state university, had a wonderful 16 year-career teaching Spanish from K-college and had two amazing souls as children who happen to be on the Autism spectrum.

Why they are doing so well is because we have done, and continue to do, everything in our power to make life easier for ALL of us. We have done the conventional approach, the naturopathic approach, the diet approach, the exercise approach, and the spiritual approach. All of them have played a very important role in making our life the wonderful life it is.

However, what we have learned from raising these boys with Autism (by the way, this works with all children) is that it takes openness, humility, and a willingness to work on yourself so as to avoid projecting your own fears and issues on the child, space to allow the children to be themselves, space for yourself, space for your spouse, and a village. 

It really is because of THEM that I am honored to be here and share whatever expert knowledge I have to help others, as a mother and intuitive guide. The ultimate theme of my approach is to help others by guiding them to help themselves. What we have learned in this process is that by us addressing our issues, the boys respond in kind. The more peaceful I am, the more calm they are. The more fun I have, the more they laugh. They have been our ultimate teachers in learning to be a better version of ourselves and becoming the best parents we can be, and continue to be.

One of the best lessons that our boys have given us is that by exploding the paradigm of “normal”, we can now create our lives in an exceptional way. In a culture of "achieving", “being” takes a back seat.  The boys remind us why we are here in the first place: to be ourselves and shine brightly.  By being ourselves in the best possible way, we give others permission to be their true selves and shine too.

This is how the Inner Peace Broker persona came about. The Inner Peace Broker is a brilliant guide, speaker, teacher and healer whose joy is helping people to allow their true self to shine forth, so they can live a life filled with grace, freedom, love and peace.
