When life gives you lemons, MAKE ORANGE JUICE!!!
The Short Story
Thereβs one thing in life I have always been sure about: Iβm not going to make lemonade out of the lemons life threw at me. I was left an orphan and had to live by myself from the age of eleven. My father was killed by The FARC (a guerilla organization) in Colombia, my mother died from cancer, and my stepfather was an alcoholic. Iβve been beaten, abused, deceived, abandoned, burned out and as a result, I have CPTSD. I was determined to make something else for myself other than lemonade! I pursued a career that wasnβt in alignment with who I truly was.
Yes, i had everything I ever dreamed of, but my Soul was dying!
My life changed drastically once I stopped with what felt like an internal war between my spirituality and rationality. I stopped choosing between my rational side and my spiritual side and decided to embrace both. I became a βSex-and-the-city Hippieβ and manifested finding and fulfilling my purpose.Β
I started helping high-achieving souls understand and connect to their inner world in order to manifest their heartsβ true desires and live a purposeful life.

Long story short
When life gives you lemons, make orange juice!
Thereβs one thing in life I have always been sure about: Iβm not going to make lemonade out of the lemons life threw at me.Β I was left an orphan and had to live by myself from the age of eleven. A guerilla organization killed my father, my mother died from cancer, and my stepfather was an alcoholic. Iβve been beaten, abused, deceived, abandoned, burned out and as a result, I have CPTSD.Β
These are not the lemons I want for my lemonade, so I was determined to make something better than lemonade. I created my ideal life!Β
From Colombian farmer toβ¦.
I was born in Colombia in the mountains of Medellin. To get there, you would have to go by horse. MyΒ fatherΒ was a farmer, and my mother was a city girl from Medellin. They fell deeply in love, and my mother decided to move from the city to the country to have a life together. They were living a happy and tranquil life until adversity struck them hard.Β Β Β
MyΒ fatherΒ was shot three times by the FARC; he died instantly. And I? I was only three months old at the time. As you might know, 30 years ago, the FARC was doing some gruesome activities.
MY FATHER WAS SHOT THREE TIMES BY THE FARC
Back then, if you didnβt cooperate,
you were an obstacle for them. My
family fled that area because they
feared that the FARC would come back for the rest of the family.
So our whole family left that village.Β My mother moved back to MedellinΒ with a broken heart and her three kids (my brother, sister, and me).Β I miss my father, but I feel like I knowΒ Β him; although I can’t remember him I know he has always been with me. I also got my fabulous curls and skin color from him.
I can only imagine what it would have been like for my mother when she lost the love of her life in such a traumatic way. We can assume that she was heartbroken, but she reacted quickly and worked hard to give us a better world. She didnβt let this adversity drag her down. Soon after, she moved to Aruba in search of new opportunities.
Unfortunately, my mother passed away from cancer when I was eleven years old. I had to work every day after school because my whole family had abandoned me. They never called to wish me happy birthday or merry Christmas. My brother and sister had their own things to deal with. So I bounced around from house to house, never feeling like I belonged anywhere.
I HAD TO WORK EVERY DAY AFTER SCHOOL

My parallel life:
I was manifesting from a young age!
Despite my humble beginnings and all the bad things, I wanted to create aΒ better life for myself. So I started to put in the hard work and was already unconsciouslyΒ manifesting my ideal life by the age of 13.Β I set a clear goal and worked on a positiveΒ mindset from a very young age. I felt strong andΒ determined.Β
The high achiever in meΒ did what she needed to do to survive, and it worked.Β
I participated in pageants, theatre,
presented TV shows and was part of a
well-known dance group in Aruba.
I also manifested so many other amazing
things in those early days.Β How? TheΒ thought βitβs not possibleβ NEVER everΒ crossed my mind! I manifested it all!
When I was 23, I got my Bachelor in Social Work in the Netherlands and was a freelance educator working as a trainer and educator. After a while, I decided to return to school and do my Masterβs degree in International Public Management and Policy.
In my first job for the Dutch government, I found out that this thing that I had worked so hard for, wasnβt βitβ either.
Whatever I did, whatever box in life I ticked off β it didnβt feel right,Β I didnβt feel complete, I wasnβt truly happy.Β Even though I had it all,Β my soul was dying! I realized I wanted to help people, and the way I was doing it at that momentΒ wasnβt the right way for me.
EVEN THOUGH I HAD IT ALL, MY SOUL WAS DYING

Embrace the darkness,
and you will see the light
As you can read, through working with the Universe, I manifested finding and fulfilling my purpose. I think itβs the best thing Iβve manifested for myself: feeling what my true passion is and learning what my purpose is in this life.
I WANT TO HELP OTHERΒ HIGH-ACHIEVING SOULS
I want to help other high-achieving souls understand and connect to their inner world in order to manifest their heartsβ true desires and live a purposeful life.Β
One of the most important lessons in this Head to Heart journey is that, just like you never have to choose between being spiritual and rational, you never have to choose light over darkness. We should embrace both sides in ourselves.Β
By learning alignment skills, you wonβt get overwhelmed but will understand your inner world. You will have the knowledge and confidence to stay in alignment while embracing your darkness. The result? You will see your true light.Β
I COMBINE SPIRITUALITY WITH RATIONALITY, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT A PART OF US WANTS TO UNDERSTAND HOW THINGS WORK
I COMBINE SPIRITUALITY WITH RATIONALITY, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT A PART OF US WANTS TO UNDERSTAND HOW THINGS WORK
I will teach you the tools you need to break yourself free!
My job is to give you the tools to see your own inner light! I will give you the tools I used for myself and all the things I learned along the way in my programs. You will learn to embody your true self, embrace both the light and the darkness within and enjoy your life in complete alignment.
Β
I combine spirituality with rationality because I know that a part of us wants to understand how things work. I will be the co-pilot in your head-to-heart journey. I will show you how to return to a head-to-heart flow and from your Ego to your Soul so you can live as your authentic and aligned self. This way, you can be happy, and in a dull world, be the one who gives it color. You were meant to stand out!
Β
AND IN A DULL WORLD, BE THE ONE WHO GIVES IT COLOR, YOU WERE MEANT TO STAND OUT!
ALL MY LIFE, I FELT LIKE I HAD TO CHOOSE BETWEEN MY SPIRITUAL SIDE AND THE POWERFUL WOMAN THAT I KNOW THAT I AM
ALL MY LIFE, I FELT LIKE I HAD TO CHOOSE BETWEEN MY SPIRITUAL SIDE AND THE POWERFUL WOMAN THAT I KNOW THAT I AM
Sex and the city Hippie?
βjust another labelβ
All my life, I felt like I had to choose between my spiritual side and the powerfulΒ woman that I know that I am. I later realized that I donβt want to choose.Β I learnedΒ that as humans, we need to learn to bringΒ harmony between our rational and ourΒ spiritual side. Iβm here to tell you that you donβt have to make a choice! You donβtΒ have to let one thing that you’re passionate about define who you are!
BY FINDING THIS HARMONY, I ALSO FOUND MY VOICE.
I didnβt want to choose, so instead of choosing, I became a βSex-and-the-city Hippieβ. On the one hand, Iβm the woman that loves all things spiritual and manifests amazing experiences in her life, and lives in sync with the moon.Β
On the other hand, Iβm a fashionable and abundance loving woman that is not afraid to speak up. I learned to fully embrace both!Β By finding this harmony, I also found my voice.
Listen to your souls’ desires. The Universe put them there for a reason. No oneβs path is the same, so there is no point in comparing yourself to another soul. It will only lead you astray from your path! Donβt be afraid to do things your way.
I see a world in which people act from their hearts instead of their heads.
I see a world where the highest achievers become the biggest manifestors. You can tick all the boxes in life, but you never forget to tick the mostΒ important ones: Happiness, Purpose and Fulfillment. I believe that when we are truly happy, we can create more impact in this world because we can finally do what we came here to do!Β
Iβm building an army of powerful souls that understand their inner world andΒ are connected to their hearts, from which they learn to manifest a purposefulΒ life full of exhilarating experiences.
HAPPINESS, PURPOSE AND FULFILMENT
The moment my work is finished and my purpose fulfilled, is not when Iβve answered all of your questions.Β Itβs the moment my clients answer the questions they ask me, themselves. Before I can even try and answer, they say: I know what youβre going to tell me. I know the answer already. Thatβs when I know, my work here is done.
Everything I do I do it to restore balance in the world..
My mission is to assist, inspire and guide people in their journey from the OUTSIDE to the INSIDE, from their EGO to their SOUL and from their HEAD to their HEART.Β
It is my mission to be your co-pilot wherever you are in your journey of self-discovery. In the journey to live and manifest, that comes from your heart and not your head.Β
By finding our hearts, we can restore the balance of our feminine and masculine side. By restoring the balance within ourselves, we can manifest from our hearts and restore the balance in this patriarchal world.Β
As I continueΒ my personalΒ development,Β I take my clientsΒ with me in thatΒ growth
As I continueΒ my personalΒ development,Β I take my clientsΒ with me in thatΒ growth
It was time to do what I came to this earth to do and become a coach..
At the age of seventeen, I enrolled on my very first personal development intense course. It was a summer school (which I manifested!) and was 10 day all paid expenses trip! I went to the Youth leadership summit of The United World Colleges.Β
During this summit at the age of 17Β I immediately knew: my purpose wasΒ to help other souls in their journey.Β
DURING THIS SUMMIT AT THE AGE OF 17 I IMMEDIATELY KNEW: MY PURPOSE WAS TO HELP OTHER SOULS IN THEIR JOURNEY
During my Bachelor of Social Work, I did a minor to be a trainer and develop programs that catalyst change. When I graduated in 2013 I took the Neurolinguistic Programming course, which taught me how to reprogram my brain. I wasnβt ready to help people 1:1 yet because I knew I had many things I needed to heal first. I worked as a freelance trainer and a museum educator for sometime before becoming a government official. I worked for two years as a strategic policy advisor for the Dutch government. However, my soul died.Β
I got a burn-out, and many of my traumas decided it was time for me to heal. When I started my own healing journey, I also embraced and finally got the courage to listen to my path and ultimately become a coach.
I enrolled in a European coaching certification and did a year program with Mastin Kipp to resurface all that information. As I continue my personal development, I take my clients with me in that growth. I could sum up all the techniques I use during my coaching sessions like; regression therapy, IFS, Voice dialogue, Hypnotherapy etc. But I donβt want to give you a list of my toolbox. I want you to learn how to feel if working with me is the right choice. Listen to your intuition because it’s never wrong.Β
βThe biggest transformation doesnβt only happen because of what I teach in my programs or trajectories. The biggest transformation happens the moment that you choose to commit to your own growth!β.
