Hi, you’re still here. I’m so glad you made it. Let me tell you about me…
I was born and raised in a small island in the Caribbean called Puerto Rico. A country full of music, family, friends, colours and nature. Growing up there, I learned that in connection, I’m expressive, alive, and full of warmth and presence. Fast forward to various life decisions and moving for love, I now live in Belgium. And it’s inevitable and very real to still find myself carrying that pulse of who I am in this city.
In Brussels, I’ve noticed how different it can feel to move through everyday life. There is a rhythm here that is faster, more layered, and less familiar to me. I often find myself observing how I naturally show up in spaces that don’t quite move in the same way I do.
There is still a lot of me that feels rooted in how I connect from where I come from, and I’m learning how that translates here, in a place that holds many different ways of being at once.
And over time, I’ve started to notice what happens with my body in that process. How I move, pause, and how I navigate the moments where things feel uncertain or unfamiliar. There is something in that space that has been teaching me more about myself in relation to others.
I realise I’m not the only one in this. Many of us are building lives in new places, carrying different histories, and trying to understand how connection takes shape in environments that don’t always mirror what we are used to.
This is where my attention has naturally turned. To slowing down enough to notice what’s happening, and how we meet ourselves before we meet others. Because from there, something more grounded and present can begin to emerge.
This experience of moving through this new city has gradually shaped my path where I became a Somatic Intimacy and Relationship Coach from the Somatica® Institute, where I learned experiential and embodied approaches to intimacy and relational work. I also trained in the Fairy Tale Model, a trauma-informed approach supporting people who have experienced deep loss or relational wounding.
My work is grounded in the Somatica® approach, which is an experiential method that focuses on learning through real-time relational experience. I support people as they explore and navigate their own way of relating and connecting. In practice, this means staying close to what is happening in the moment, meeting people with care and attention as they move through their experience of connection with themselves and with others.
You might not recognise yourself in my background or in the sensory world I come from, but you may recognise the feeling of wanting to be met, understood, and connected. The desire for closeness, presence, and meaningful connection is something many of us carry, even when our lives and stories look completely different. <3
If something in my story resonates with you, if it sparked curiosity, if you recognize parts of yourself in these words or in the longing for connection, you are welcome to reach out.
We can start with a gentle conversation and see if working together feels right.
