I am passionate about Collective Liberation, Decolonial Futures, and ensuring that all communities have a seat at the table. Identifying myself as a gay cisgender male with Mexican and Venezuelan roots has largely shaped my diverse perspectives and aspirations. I understand how it feels to be marginalized and oppressed in a world that operates from systems of oppression. I am most interested in disrupting racism, elevating marginalized voices, and supporting folks in becoming embodied. I have an affinity and extensive breadth of experience for presence-based massage and bodywork, which enables my clients and students to cultivate deeper self-awareness and presence with themselves and others. Life has taught me to slow down, spend time in nature, actively listen, and use my voice to advocate for justice. My body has taught me that I am resilient and powerful beyond measure.I help others cultivate self-awareness through mindfulness, compassion through loving presence, and connection to self and others through presence-based touch.
