As a Latin woman who not only grew up in a poverty stricken area exposed to crime and lack of resources, but also became a teen mother under the same circumstances - I know how stressful parenting can be.

I understand what it’s like to feel worried for the future of yourself and your child.

I understand what it’s like to be overwhelmed, to feel alone, and deeply needing support.

Wisdom Blooming was founded to fill a gap in support for the Tucson community with the understanding of reaching back a helping hand to those who are trying to rise out of similar situations.

As the daughter of a worker’s rights activist, dedication to positive change within my community is deeply rooted in my family’s way of life. As a teen mother and a member of an underserved community, I had to face some difficult choices - I was either going to repeat the same cycles of overwhelm, internal disorganization, and stress that would set my child up for continuing cycles of suffering or I would have to seek out empowering opportunities to make positive changes in my life.

I chose to seek solutions.  With every yoga class, meditation workshop, and coaching series I expanded the break in my overwhelm into a spaciousness that grew my capacites and thresholds for managing stress. The practices that changed the course of my life and those of my two children, are the same practices that I now teach my community members.  Wisdom Blooming exists as a liberation movement to rise together by giving people the skills that empower confidence, resilience, compassion and mental wellness.
