Business school was the third try, the third had to be the charm, and by this point I was totally on my own so I earned my scholarships and passed everything in order to be accepted in a study abroad program. I wanted to escape. That's how I came to Canada in the first place.
But before I got there, I went through a necessary "dark night of the soul". Carrying the weight of unprocessed grief, I was studying hard 5 days a week and working on the weekends. I was desperate to get this degree as fast as possible, and get out of the country and never return.
And then... I broke: paralyzing anxiety crippled me in 2014 and I had no choice but to drop courses and begin therapy. My high standards and expectations of myself were challenged. This would get me behind. I would no longer finish with an impeccable academic behavior.
For a year and a half I visited the university therapist every week, and cried like I never had in my existence. Others seemed to understand why I cried so much, but I didn't, and all I could think about was "when will this end?"
The year I moved to Canada was also the year I found a book that changed my life: The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron. I came across it at a bookstore, took it with me, and found myself talking to my inner child for the first time in my life. She had so much to say. She needed so much attention. She was unconsolably sad. And she told me she wanted to sing.
So I put away the paint brushes. I started freestyling and became addicted to the magic of "being in the flow". I couldn't stop improvising. The gates had been opened.
When covid hit, I wrote and home recorded my first songs. I had already been listening to my inner child for a couple years but I felt insecure to show what I was doing outside the cyphers and music jams.
Then, my marriage broke for the first time. I read another life changing book: Women Who Run With Wolves. I was never the same after understanding that I had an inner feminine and masculine, and that the masculine outside of me was a reflection of mine. I made the decision that summer to marry myself, no matter my external relationship status. In fact, I gave my marriage one last chance.
But not too long after came the next crisis of my life: separating, going back to Chile, and starting over. Once again I felt my home was destroyed.
Something in my experience being back home motivated my return to Canada. I also like to think that my friends and community here called my soul to return.
Today, I can say I have grown close to my heart's truth. Life feels more aligned and en-route than it ever has. I am full time working on my astrology business and music performances. I'm very excited about all this!
I know that life can be tough. I also know a few things that life and its challenges have taught me that I am so happy to share with you. And that is what I do. My work is much more than doing astrology readings. I offer you everything I have, from all the healing work I have done, to support your journey to the best of my ability.

Born and raised a misfit
ART, MUSIC and ASTROLOGY have been my faithful companions throughout life. But... I learned that I had to dedicate to pretty much anything else in order to survive (even more so to succeed in life).
My parents were both math teachers, and also mystics. They got into yoga and vegetarianism around the time I was born, so I grew up vegetarian, meditating and taking cold showers, surrounded by conversations about reincarnation, spirituality, yoga, astrology, tarot, I-ching, and no drugs nearby.
The love for the arts came mainly from my mom.
As for my professional path, ugh... I went to 3 different careers. I tried and abandoned 2, and gave up the idea of having a degree at all for some time.
There was a deep seated belief in me that I would never be a good enough artist (or anything), because I didn’t have a degree. I also believed that because I wasn’t a “natural talent”, there was no point in even trying.
2010 was wild. I lost my mom, my home, my spiritual beliefs, my community, and felt like nothing mattered so why would I not drink and smoke now? Who cares about having healthy habits. Life sucked and I couldn't care less about being a "good girl".
Two years later I decided "I had grieved enough", and forced myself to move away from my sisters and go to business school. This initiated the next phase of my journey.
When I came to Calgary in 2016 I was thrilled. I felt ready for everything and anything. I thought this external change would make the feelings of sadness, worthlessness, confusion and fear go away. It didn't.
My business school years were full of cigarette buds, jars of weed and large wine bottles. And... I met my match: a man that reflected my addiction issues.
I began to explore why I felt so unfulfilled. What was the missing piece in my life? All of this unfolding as my first Saturn return gloriously highlighted my confusion. All I knew is that I wasn't supposed to know the answers yet, and that I had to sit with the discomfort.
It became very obvious to me how astrology could help, but also what it couldn't do. I knew the corporate world wasn't for me. I knew I wanted to learn more astrology, and I knew that music meant something important to me. But I felt like a noob in both. Astrology was just showing me the realest facts, almost with no mercy. And the rest was up to me.
