Ana’s life mission is to help people remember who they are. Her spiritual path started in her early 20’s after she moved from her home land of Mexico to the U.S. to study music. Her mission became even clearer when she was summoned by the plant teachers of the world to give her gift of service to the community in an even deeper way. Her education spans a wide range of modalities. In addition to being a certified Life Coach, her training includes, Sound Healing, Reiki, Pranic Healing, Shadow Work, Quantum Healing, Psych-K, Ho’oponopono and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to name a few.

Ana has an incredible gift of creating very safe spaces for people to explore deep trauma as well as the remembering of their innate wellness and connection to creation. Her unconditionally loving demeanor and ability to meet people where they are at, provide for an environment where people can do very deep spiritual and emotional work. Ana lives and works in a beautiful mountain cabin, surrounded by ponderosa trees and breathtaking mountain views, only 25 minutes above Boulder Colorado.
