Nacida y criada en San José, desde muy joven adoptó un estilo de vida que le permitiera la libertad de estar en contacto directo con la naturaleza. Fue en los bosques de Monteverde y en la comunidad Cuáquera de la zona que encontró un balance perfecto de riqueza natural y un estilo de vida simple. La mayor parte del tiempo la encontrarás trabajando en el bosque, en la Galería de Arte de la familia, cultivando hierbas en la huerta, o practicando y enseñando Qi Gong y Yoga. Su pasión es compartir con las personas la sabiduría de los bosques que conoce y ama, ayudándoles a conectar con su esencia de una manera gentil y auténtica.
