I see the woman behind the life you’ve built.
Together, we untangle the patterns you’re ready to outgrow, so you can move differently in your relationships, your life, and your business.
The healing. The life. The business. All of you.
The woman behind the work
I was good at being
who everyone needed.
But what about the woman I wanted to be?
I didn’t come to this work because I had life perfectly figured out.
I was born in Venezuela and moved to Miami when I was five. With Syrian roots on my father’s side and Italian roots on my mother’s, I grew up with a deep appreciation for family, culture, and belonging. I also grew up with expectations about who I should be.
Singing, writing, and helping people were my earliest passions. But I put some of those dreams aside and stepped into my father’s businesses.
I began working in business at 15, later helping run my father’s businesses. Long before coaching, I was learning about entrepreneurship, responsibility, and what it takes to keep a business moving.
By 24, I was married and a proud mother of two boys. I loved my family. At the same time, I began recognizing how much of my direction came from wanting to please my father rather than listening to myself.
Learning to honor my family without abandoning myself became part of my own work. So did questioning inherited patterns and choosing what I wanted to pass on to my boys.
2004 · A personal turning point
My father’s illness
changed my path.
My father was diagnosed with stage-four mantle cell lymphoma and given eight months to live. Our family explored conventional care alongside integrative approaches to support him. He went on to live another ten years.
That experience led me into psychology, spirituality, complementary approaches, and energy work. I began exploring the relationship between mind, body, and spirit, along with the ideas of energy and quantum transformation that became part of my personal approach.
What began as a search to support my father grew into a path of study, self-discovery, and work with others. It helped shape the Untangling Method I would go on to develop.
My foundation
Psychology. Integrative work.
Lived experience.
My education gave me a foundation. My life and the people I’ve worked with have continued to shape how I use it.
Integrative training
I’m certified in multiple modalities. My background also includes energy alchemy, metaphysics, neuroscience, essential oils, herbs, and other energy-healing modalities.
Spiritual psychology
Today, I bring these perspectives into spiritual psychology, coaching, and personal-growth work, with attention to your history, your pace, and what you want to approach differently.

Inside outThe woman. The life. The business.
Both sides of my work
The woman behind
the business matters.
More than 2,000 people have walked through my work: one on one, in memberships, retreats, and events. Over 25 years in psychology, neuroscience, and energetics have shaped the way I bring the healing, the life, and the business together.
My work began with helping people explore trauma-related patterns, emotional attachments, and experiences from the past that were still affecting their lives. Through that work, I developed my Untangling Method, the foundation of Spiritual Divorce®.
As my practice evolved, nervous-system work became an important part of my approach. Today, I bring it together with business development for women ready to say YES to themselves.
We look at what you are carrying and what your business actually needs: positioning, offers, messaging, systems, or a product, program, membership, or retreat.
For me, this work is also about freedom, breaking inherited patterns, and creating a different future for my boys.
You are your brand.
Let’s develop it
from the inside out.
Different situations.
Sometimes the same pattern.
The Entanglement Map™
The pattern rarely
stays in one place.
The same agreement that makes you the one who carries everything at home can make it hard to delegate in your business. We look at the connection, not just the situation.
“I’ll just do it myself.”
Maybe being useful has become the way you feel needed. At home, you take care of everyone. With clients, you give more than you agreed to. I want to understand that agreement before asking you to hold a stronger boundary.
“I’m ready. Just not quite yet.”
You know your work matters, but the post stays in drafts or the offer waits for another revision. If being seen has become connected to judgment, more confidence tips may not address the whole picture.
“Giving feels easier than receiving.”
You can support everyone else, yet accepting help, asking for what you need, or holding your price can feel uncomfortable. We explore what receiving means to you, not just what you think you should charge.
These are examples, not conclusions about you. Sometimes the strategy or systems need to change. We look at the pattern as well as the practical problem.
My Untangling SDT Method™
Insight is a beginning.
It isn’t the whole shift.
Spiritual Divorce® reaches beyond the ending of a marriage. My Untangling work focuses on emotional ties, beliefs, and old agreements you may be ready to stop carrying.
See it.
Untangle it.
Build different.
The whole process, with room for your pace and the life you want.
01Assess
Start with what is happening now.
We look at the patterns showing up in your relationships, boundaries, receiving, identity, money, or business. You do not need to arrive with a perfect explanation.
The FREE Entanglement Assessment is a first look, not a diagnosis or a full personal map.
02Map
Make the connections visible.
Your Entanglement Map™ helps us explore how recurring beliefs, emotions, behaviors, and relationships may connect to your experiences. We look at the bigger picture instead of treating every situation as a separate problem.
03Untangle
Move beyond understanding the pattern.
We work experientially with the beliefs, emotional attachments, and old agreements you are ready to release, rather than only talking about why they are there.
The intention is forward movement. What shifts, and how quickly, is personal to you.
04Rewire
Practice a new way of being.
We practice new agreements, beliefs, boundaries, and behaviors. That might mean letting support in, saying no without a long explanation, or being visible without needing everyone’s approval.
05Develop
Bring the shift into the business.
For entrepreneurs, Untangle + Build includes positioning, messaging, offers, sales, visibility, systems, and leadership. We look at what the business needs as well as the woman leading it.
Business development belongs to the life + business pathway. It is not a requirement for personal healing.
06Build
Make different choices in your real life.
The work belongs in the way you live, love, lead, and build. We bring insight and new choices into the decisions you make next, with support that fits your life and direction.
You belong here.
Deep work. Real connection.
We can do deep work.
And still have a
really good time.
I want a room where you can tell the truth, talk about what you’re building, and laugh without making yourself smaller. The healing matters. So does enjoying the life you’re creating.
My work also takes shape through my Spiritual Divorce® book, sessions, events, retreats, and Keep It In The Heart Products®.
Come be in the roomTwo ways into the work
You get to want both.
You do not have to turn every personal shift into a business goal.
And you do not have to leave your inner world out of the business you’re building.
Your life
Untangle.
Personal work with the patterns influencing your relationships, emotions, worthiness, boundaries, and capacity to receive. Spiritual Divorce® is about releasing what you are ready to stop carrying, whether or not a legal divorce is part of your story.
