Hello I’m Lina! I am a dedicated Ayurvedic health Counselor intern, who is here to guide you on your wellness journey. My expertise combined with a passion for helping others ensures you'll find the support and encouragement you need to reach your goals.

Why am I different from other wellness professionals?

I have a unique integrative approach, fusing the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, the traditions of my Aztec ancestors using Curanderismo (Mexican folk medicine) and the cutting-edge technology of Modern Functional Medicine to create personalized wellness plans for clients seeking balance in mind, body and spirit.

Rooted in Ayurveda, I help clients understand their unique Constitution, guiding them to make lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, and incorporate herbal formulas that restore harmony. Inspired by Curanderismo, I incorporate energy healing, ritual practices, and deep connection to the elements of nature, offering clients a sense of empowerment and cultural resonance.

Functional medicine further enriches my practice, using evidence-based tools like advanced lab testing, nutrition science, and targeted supplementation to address root causes of imbalance.

My Story….

We are living in the age of awareness. I say this because, thanks to social media, we are finally becoming aware that the “food” we have all been consuming for years.. is overly processed poison. Our fruits and vegetables are not as nutrient rich as they used to be, due to our soil not being as healthy as it once was. The average American is more depressed and anxious than ever before, and the “medicine” western health professionals are prescribing patients is causing a slew of other health issues.

We are malnourished and over medicated. We have all this awareness now, but how do we make a change? It’s difficult to navigate our health and wellness when everyday we are being bombarded with new health fads and a new miracle drug. There is so much information and misinformation out there that it seems contradictory, overwhelming and difficult to figure out what is best for you. I get it! I felt this way too when I began my health journey.

Before I discovered Ayurveda, I had major inflammation, acid reflux, parasites, swelling, skin issues, gut issues, hormonal imbalances and angry rage that was affecting my relationships. Until I found Ayurveda.. or really she found me. I was obsessed because I finally found something that actually made sense. I decided to deepen my studies and attend the California College of Ayurveda to become an Ayurvedic Health Counselor. As I started school I quickly realized, I had to change my life, because at the time I was working in the music industry and I started to find out fast, that it was not conducive to a healthy lifestyle, so I left the life I knew for 10 plus years to heal myself.  I Started meditating, and eating at regular times, going to sleep at 10pm, detoxing my body & mind, and nourishing myself internally and externally.  I learned how to cool my Pitta imbalance and live a more sacred life. Ayurveda empowered me to heal myself, You can do it too! Im here to support you.

Are you curious about what your constitution is? Are you ready to heal your gut? Or explore the mind body connection? Or are you interested in a custom meal plan or detox program?

If you answered yes, I am ready to meet you! I am passionate about helping you explore the inner workings of your body and mind and helping you to reconnect with your true nature and inner wisdom. I am here to guide you on how to unfold the petals of your energetic lotus flowers, and empower you to become your own healer so you can learn how to alchemize your own life.
