Step softly into the ancient pulse of who you truly are, allowing the Sacred Lands of Guatemala to hold you into their embrace.
We are the living prayers of our ancestors.
These prayers move through us — known or unknown — yet ever‑present in the existence of our being.
When we come together in this remembrance, the unseen stirs.
Transformation rises like mist from the lake, effortless and inevitable.
Beyond the Veil is a retreat for those who feel the whisper of the invisible realms — a curated passageway into the esoteric, the ancestral, and the timeless Wisdom that lives between worlds.
This offering is woven from the deepest spaces of my heart.
For years, Lake Atitlán has been my teacher, my initiator, my mirror. My Home.
Though I have walked the path of energy work for well over a decade, it is here — in the cradle of volcanoes and the lake— that my connection to the Spirit Realm has unfurled into something ancient, potent, and profoundly alive. I am honored to share it all with you — alongside the elders, mystics, guides, and healers of the lake — as we journey together into the realms that shimmer just beyond ordinary sight.
Why This Moment Matters
This retreat takes place during a time when the veil between worlds is naturally thinner.
In both the Mayan Chol’iq and Gregorian calendars, an alignment happens this week only, creating the perfect space to receive all of this magic. Together, we will experience Dia de Los Muertos, Dia de Los Santos, 13 Kame, and Samhain. This energy is potent, supportive, magically aligned.
Ancestral remembrance becomes a living current — felt in the wind, the fire, the water, the earth, and the subtle realms of ceremony and presence.
To step away from the familiar rhythms of your life and into this sacred space is a profound initiation.
A homecoming.
A return.
This is not simply a retreat.
It is a Re‑membering — a gathering of the pieces of your Soul.
That flutter in your heart?
That is your Spirit nudging you.
Say yes to yourself.
Say yes to the call.
You are worthy of this once‑in‑a‑lifetime experience.

A lifelong seeker of transformation, I blend ancient wisdom and modern healing to guide others on their awakening journeys. Rooted in ancestral connection, intuition, and embodied spiritual practice, my work spans energy healing, yoga, intuitive coaching, and global retreats.
Since 2003, I’ve devoted myself to mind-body healing, teaching and practicing Reiki since 2012, facilitating retreats and ceremonies.
From Full Moon Ceremonies in South Florida to sacred spaces on Lake Atitlán, my offerings are devoted to awakening, connection, and remembrance. Whether through private or group retreats, I hold space for those ready to step into their healing, their full expression, and their power.
In 2012, I followed my heart to Lake Atitlan as a guest on retreat, and I am a living testimony that dreams do actualize, as I now get to call this lake my home and create spaces for others to reclaim their magic + remember who they are.
From the cocoon to the Butterly, I got you. Exhale.
