Somewhere along the way I fell in love with psychology and got my bachelor’s and license degree at the University of Costa Rica.

Since the second year of my career, I became permanently attracted to the new paradigm in science and the most recent discoveries in quantum physics, genetic engineering and molecular biology. Beginning in 1999, I started long research in Transpersonal Psychology and since it was barely considered as a specialty option in Costa Rica with no degrees or formal training, I began studying in other countries. I became a memory regression therapist studying in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with my master Dr. Jose Luis Cabouli. I studied Ericksonian Hypnotherapy under the guidance of MsC Guiselle Alvarez at Clinica Domini.

I jumped into my first meditation training in 2002 at Brama Khumaris center and afterwards got a certificate as Modern Meditation facilitator at the School of Psychology of Harvard University.

Since the beginning of my career, I had a dream of becoming a PhD in Transpersonal Psychology at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology (currently Sophia University) at Palo Alto, California, but my personal journey of healing has delayed that goal.
I started my shamanic journey with Carlos Castaneda books and became a passionate researcher of expanded states of consciousness. I trained in Tensegrity at Cleargreen Waters Tensegrity Center and in 2005 was accepted into the PhD program at Palo Alto. I have followed in the footsteps of some of the brightest minds in the new paradigm, such as Stanislav Grof, Ken Wilber, Roger Walsh, Fritjof Capra, and Deepak Chopra.
Due to a change in the university’s administration and a very deep personal journey into the shadows and realms of substance abuse, I lost the opportunity of finishing my PhD. Lost in drug use, I came back to Costa Rica and fell into the darkness of my soul.

Touching rock bottom myself created a special kind of sensitivity to the depth of human suffering.

I knew that plant medicine integrated with pyschotherapy, trauma work and addiction-related treatments were the correct path.

Later , I was initiated in Ayahuasca and started researching full-time on the healing powers of expanded states of consciousness.

Touching rock bottom myself created a special kind of sensitivity to the depth of human suffering.

I feel called to be of service for those who suffer.

I trained as a certified substance abuse counselor at the Institute of Medicine and Psychology and then started working full-time as a counselor and psychologist at Costa Rica Recovery.

After three years of compassionate and dedicated work to build an innovative holistic approach with my collegue and spiritual sister Lic. Deborah Schmidt, I was promoted to clinical director of second stage in Nosara, Guanacaste.

In 2023, I became a full-time counselor and therapist in my own private practice. At the end of 2024, I connected deeply to God’s plan for my career to build the Samadhi model of healing and The New World Medicine Foundation. The marriage between science and religion, eastern and western traditions and sky and earth continues today.
