About Me

For those wondering: Cancer sun, Scorpio moon, Libra rising.

I’m Mexican American, second-gen (child of an immigrant parent), queer, kinky human in a mid-size body. I’m also so much more, but these parts of me shape how I move through the world and how I show up in this work.

I grew up in Southern California, surrounded by family, often in multigenerational homes or within a mile of each other.

I eventually made my way to Northern California, where I fell in love with the redwoods, the fog, and the moody ocean. That’s where I learned what it means to be part of a community.

In a more isolated place, I became someone people could trust and lean on, and I learned how to trust my environment, the land, and people to support me, too.

I spent years in community-based spaces: working with unsheltered folks, volunteering at a needle exchange, doing research within the kink community, and yes, performing as a fire dancer on summer and fall weekends.

That time also deepened my own relationship to healing. Through meditation, late-night tarot readings, bonfires with friends, weekly circus classes (play can be part of healing), and quiet moments in nature, I felt more connected to myself.

These days, I’ve also been reconnecting more deeply with my Mexican lineage. Learning Spanish, engaging with Mexican history, and continuing to move through the borderlands in new ways. It’s been grounding, meaningful, and humbling.

I share all of this because I believe we’re always becoming.
No one arrives “finished.”

Whether you’re coming in on your own or with your partner, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
