Saying yes when you want to say no.
Feeling guilty every time you rest.
Maybe you’re moving through life on autopilot...
Amiga, let’s have a real platica.
Not from shame.
Not from guilt.
But from honesty.
From doing everything right, showing up for everyone else, and still feeling disconnected from yourself.
Not the “I need a nap” tired, but the deep, soul-level tiredness that comes from carrying so much for so long.
Mujer… if you’re here, it’s porque you’re tired.

You are craving a different kind of strength:
You want a softer way of rising, one that feels intentional, grounded, and true to you.
- Clarity: The boundaries to choose your own path without guilt.
- Alignment: Taking action from a place of self-trust, rather than a place of pressure.
- Peace: A mind, body, and soul that feels like home.
You want a softer way of rising, one that feels intentional, grounded, and true to you.
Because deep down, you don’t actually want to push harder or become “stronger" just to survive.
The planners.
The routines.
The early mornings.
Telling yourself you should be grateful.
Ignoring your needs porque tienes muchas responsabilidades.
And maybe you’ve already tried doing more.
But nothing really changed.
Because you can’t create a new life using the same survival patterns you grew up with. You can’t reconnect with yourself while abandoning yourself.
You need support that meets you where you are, honors your humanity, and helps you rise in a way that feels like you, not everyone else.
What you need isn’t more discipline or motivation.
Hustling, always on the go-go-go, yet feeling stuck and confused. Being the eldest daughter and high achiever, the one who had to be strong, responsible, the example, the first to do everything.
Carrying the pressure of making your family proud, checking off all the boxes people said would make me feel 'successful,' and never slowing down long enough to ask: "Is this even aligned with me?"
I lived my life based on expectations — family, culture, career — and slowly lost myself under all the roles. I ignored my needs. I overworked in spaces that didn’t deserve me. I over gave and always put myself last. I got distracted with everything outside of me instead of going inward and being radically honest about what I truly wanted because disappointing others felt scarier than disappointing myself. I was hustling through life instead of living it. Rushing instead of being present. Performing instead of feeling.
Until I hit a moment, a quiet awakening, where I realized I couldn’t rise like that anymore. It happened during a spontaneous trip to the Grand Canyon. No plan. No expectations. Just me, presence, and the kind of silence that speaks truth. For the first time in a long time, I felt expansive. Open. Connected with myself. And I knew, with every part of me, that I needed to rise a different way.
I didn’t need more discipline. I didn’t need more pressure. I needed clarity, self-trust, and a new way of living. That Grand Canyon moment became the catalyst to my transformation. It’s when I finally chose me. I didn’t just decide to change. . . I invested in support. I hired my first life coach because I realized I couldn't navigate this alone. That decision gave me the container I needed to finally stop performing and start listening. It allowed me to create a life that actually felt like mine—defined on my terms, not inherited expectations. And that structure of deep support is exactly what I now offer you.
And that moment became the seed of everything I now teach. Not because I’m perfect, but because I’ve walked this path too and I know what it feels like to finally rise differently.

FUN FACTS
I dressed up and truly lived the PLUR life — peace, love, unity, respect (IYKYK!). What I love most about EDM music is that, without knowing it back then, it helped me tap into freedom, creativity, and just being present with life. Music was the bridge that showed me what a soft, fun, and present life could feel like.
Today, I bring that same energy of 'Unity' and 'Respect' into our coaching container. We can do deep work and still have fun.
I used to be a raver in my college days!
It was raining really hard when I was about to be born, and the moment I arrived, the rain stopped and a rainbow appeared. My dad knew “Iris” would be my name and that I would brighten other people’s world just like the rainbow that appears after the storm.
My parents named me after the rainbow (arco iris)
I love how expressive, emotional, and joyful everything becomes!
I secretly wish my life could be a musical.
Every place I travel I make sure to discover a new cafecito shop.
