My Story
From Wall Street
to Soul Work
A journey of transformation, from hedge fund CFO to guiding high-achieving women toward presence, purpose, and legacy.
My Roots
I was born and raised in Guatemala with a humble upbringing, always an entrepreneur at heart, driven by a spirit of service and kindness. I was raised with values of courage, compassion, and the unwavering belief that you can achieve anything you set your mind to.
The Beginning
20 Years in Finance
After moving to the US for college, I rapidly climbed the corporate ladder with relentless determination.
It started with my first job after college at one of the world's top Hedge Funds, then became one of the first Latin women CFO in the Hedge Fund world, and later consulted for the largest institutional investors, conducting due diligence on over $100 billion in assets.
From the outside, life looked amazing. I had achieved everything I set out to do. But inside? I was quietly exhausted, disconnected, and wondering if this was really all there was. Yet, I continued because that was the only way I knew!

Who Changed My Life
The Awakening
When Everything Changed
Then my life took a turn. I lost my mom to cancer, and my world stopped. In that devastating stillness, I was forced to look at everything differently.
I recognized the relationship with my kids wasn't what I thought it was. I found myself repeating patterns I swore I'd never repeat. That's when I discovered there was nothing to fix in my kids, it was me who needed to look within.
I had been high-functioning, driven, achieving, yet missing Life. I had learned to prove my worth through endless doing. So feeling was not an option and taking time for myself came with a lot of guilt.
And still... it never felt like enough.
The Transformation
Where Strategy Met Soul
My work is inspired by my own journey in the corporate world, the loss of my mother, the life of my grandma, and mothering three daughters in a world that has forgotten to honor and empower women from within.
My transformation came from learning how to integrate two worlds: the mind and the Soul. Aligning the seen with the unseen, yet deeply felt.
Every cycle of my life, as a daughter grieving, a professional ascending, a mother struggling, a woman awakening, demanded something different from me. Yet each version needed the same thing:presence with myself, reconnection to my Soul, and the return to trust.
"Success without presence is costly. Achievement without connection leaves something essential untouched."
For years, I unconsciously measured my worth through performance and perfection.
Until one day, I turned inward with the same dedication I'd applied to spreadsheets and multi-million dollar deals, learning how behavior, emotion, neuroscience, and intuition inform one another, and how transformation occurs when they are addressed together. However, this time, the shift came from more than knowledge, it was from embodying and inner-standing these learnings.
My "I know best" mind softened and my Intuition strengthened. Being intentional empowered my doing. My connection to others became deeper.
In that clarity, I recognized a pattern that reached beyond me, one I had inherited, and one I repeatedly encountered in my work. Brilliant women, across generations, across countries, carrying immense capability while quietly overriding and doubting themselves. This is why I do this work, to break generational cycles for the young girls growing in this world.
Today, I guide high-achieving women to recognize that every new season in their life calls for a different version of them, and together, we discover what this version needs.
"One of my greatest glimmers is seeing the women I work with reclaim their inner power and lead their lives from presence and purpose."
This is the heart of my work: I walk alongside my clients through their transformation, holding space until they find their path.

Where This Work Was Born
My First Teachers
This work started beyond a classroom or Wall Street.
It began in relationship with the people who loved me.
MY GREATEST TEACHERS
" My daughters, my inspiration.
Motherhood taught me that leadership is presence. That breaking generational cycles is a choice we live and embrace daily. And that the way we relate becomes the legacy we pass on.
— my three daughters
This work is more than something I do. It is something I was shaped for, by the people before me.
And every woman I work with becomes part of this living lineage.
That legacy is now living beyond our own home. My daughters Valentina and Gigi founded Teen (Co)Lab, a movement helping girls their age find their voice and confidence, and I have the honor of serving as their Founding Advisor and Mentor, watching this work carry forward into the next generation.
