The Full Story
About
In 2018, I found myself at a low point — isolated, grappling with a sense of emptiness, and adrift without a clear direction. It marked the commencement of a spiritual journey, catalyzed by an unexpected guide: cacao. Through this understated yet powerful ally, and the nurturing presence of Mama Cacao, I began a gradual process of building self-confidence, reconnecting with my spiritual essence, and fostering a newfound self-love.
The Work
Over the years, my engagement with cacao evolved from a personal coping mechanism to a more profound communion with nature. The journey was subtle but transformative. As I deepened my understanding, I felt compelled to share this sacred connection. Now, certified as a cacao practitioner, I facilitate ceremonies and one-on-one sessions for individuals seeking improvement and connection.
The Passion
My commitment extends beyond personal growth. It's a sincere endeavor to assist others in opening their hearts and treating themselves with kindness. In a society that often falls short in creating spaces for self-compassion, I view this work as a collective responsibility. Through ceremonies and sessions, I offer support to those yearning for a more open heart and a gentler relationship with themselves.
Let's embark on this path together, where the quiet wisdom of Mama Cacao guides us towards self-discovery, one sip at a time. Join me in contributing to a world where every heart finds solace, and each soul is granted the space it needs to heal.
With sincerity and appreciation.
