Grounded in realness

Here & Queer

As a trans Puerto Rican coach, I'm proud to be working to increase diversity in the field and promote health equity and justice through developing and facilitating DEIJ-B curriculum.As a queer who wouldn't be here without community support and activism, I promote coaching as a tool to pursue individual self-development in service of community self-determination.


solid values

Transformative Justice

My practice is built on the values of Transformative Justice – championing the belief in every person's inherent worth, dignity, and belonging, without shying from loudly calling out the damage that power and oppression do to communities and generations worldwide.


Healing Approach

Trauma Informed

Every person is whole – as individuals and as members of a larger community of people – friends, (chosen) family, culture, and much more.Only by embracing the nuance of our wholeness and the complexity of our backgrounds may we build a truly healing future.
