The Coach behind Amiga Moms™ isn't just certified,
She's a Licensed Therapist with 20 years of proof....

Why Amiga Moms™ Exists...
In November 2018, I was working as an in-home therapist, supporting children and their mothers. One afternoon, after a Spanish-speaking client's mother broke down in tears - a mix of frustration and relief finally pouring out - I walked to my car with one thought that stopped me cold:
"I'm spending an hour a week helping the kids. But if no one is helping these moms, what good am I really doing?"
That was the moment Amiga Moms™ was born. Within six months, the name, the logo, the social presence, and our first sold-out event existed.
What followed was a series of sold-out in-person community gatherings that brought high-achieving moms together in a room where they could finally put the weight down. When the pandemic paused those events, the work didn't stop - it sharpened. Amiga Moms™ evolved into what it is today: private coaching for the Mom CEO who has built an empire the world recognizes and is ready to invest in the inside.
Seven years later, that question still drives everything.
Two decades of doing this work...
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and National Certified Counselor with over 20 years of clinical experience supporting moms, children, and families. I'm EMDR trained, bilingual in English and Spanish, and I've spent my career inside the specific tension that brings most of my clients to me - the gap between who a woman is at work and who she becomes at home.
I've sat across from women at every stage of that gap, before they had language for it, while they were in the middle of it, and on the other side of it. That range is what most coaches never have. It's what makes the work precise.
I'm the founder of Amiga Moms™, owner of Free to Be Mindful, founder of The Kid Clinician, and co-founder of the Latinx Practice Collective. I host the Free to Be Mindful Podcast - named the #1 Latino Mental Health Podcast in 2026 by Feedspot, with over 300 episodes. I've been featured on the Today Show, Univision, Parents, and Parents Latina, with 100+ speaking and podcast engagements.
Everything I've built points back to the same woman - the one who leads everywhere and hasn't had support designed for her.
What I bring to this work isn't a weekend certification. It's a career - built entirely around understanding what it costs to be her, and knowing exactly how to help her lead her own life again.
I know this first hand...
I'm a first-generation Dominican-American, wife, and mom to a tween, a toddler, and a goldendoodle. I know what it means to want to parent differently than you were parented while honoring where you come from. I also know what it means to carry the mental load, the cultural expectations, and the pressure to keep it all together, and to want more than survival mode.
My version of mindful living looks like yoga, salsa dancing, and playing on the floor alongside my kids. A firm believer in living with intention, I don't teach what I don't practice.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO TRANSLATE YOUR EXPERIENCE HERE.
Amiga Moms™ is a brand that is culturally attuned - meaning your family expectations, your generational patterns, your guilt rooted in gratitude are already understood. You don't have to explain them. We work with them.
The cultural awareness is the quality of this container, not the requirement of the client. Any high-achieving professional mom is welcome here. What you will always find is depth, clinical precision, and support that was built for the woman operating at your level.
