“I am a visionary, an activist, and a changemaker. In a world where I lived in the ‘in-between space’, being told to "check your activism at the door." In many experiences leading up to that moment, it ignited a fire within myself-a fire of transformation, empowerment, and justicia. I was held in community with other movement builders, peers, Elders, and mentors who shared a vision for new systems and ways of tending and responding to inequities at every level, Mayamotion Healing is my response.

As a documented "immigrant," I recognize the privilege of my status, allowing me to engage in advocacy without the constant threat of deportation. I know that preserving myself was an act of political resistance, a defiant stance against oppressive systems.

I inherit a legacy of activism from my diverse and deeply rooted family, I carry within me the teachings of my father, Roberto, a Mayan-Toltec renowned speaker and Clinical Psychologist, and my mother, Elena, a cultural psychotherapist specializing in women's power and infant mental health. Their wisdom, intertwined with the resilience passed down from my +father, Jorge, a community organizer, and my +mother, Tessa, an author and health equity ambassador, forms the foundation of my journey.

With roots firmly planted in Mexico, they instilled in me the sacred principle of Cultura Cura—the belief that investing in my cultural well-being is an act of healing rebellion. My path is a reflection of my family's commitment to resistance and change, echoing the survival and sacrifices of my ancestors and abuelos. It is through honoring these lineages, exploring my identities, acknowledging my power and privilege, and embracing the beautiful tapestry of my relations, family, culture, history, and upbringing, that I find purpose in my work. To be of service is not just a duty but a sacred honor embraced with cariño, humility, and a profound sense of responsibility.”
