Beginnings
My Madrina Lorna was my person — I felt safe to be my true self. I am fearless bc of her and what she taught me about love. My connection with nature, animals, people, and the world were fostered by her knowledge and love.
With her passing, I wanted to continue her gifts of love, joy, connection, life, and living. She inspired these gifts in me and I knew I needed to share them with the world. She was my Spirit Mother, my Madrina. Now, as the Spirit Mother of y Respira, I hold space and empower people on their journey and path in life.
