HOLA!!
I'm Iris. A 'Spanglish' speaker, living in the U.S. since 1988.
My life didn't really start until I understood unconditional self-love. I was just going through life, surviving, checking boxes of being and doing what everyone else expected me to be. We’re taught to love others, make sacrifices, follow rules, and sometimes dim our light to make others happy. But why does it feel like something's missing no matter how much you do or give? Being "good" to everyone can be draining. I learned that I am the beginning and the end of my story and so are you. I also learned that loving myself doesn’t mean you won’t feel sad or upset. It means being aware of yourself, setting boundaries, and knowing that saying "no" is healthy. Love should not cost you your peace.
Why I do what I do:
Because I care and I believe in transformation.
I've learned that my personal struggles were impacting not just me, but those around me. Through professional training and personal experiences, I've overcome suffering and learned to accept others without expectations. This journey has empowered me to help others find their own paths to self-love and fulfillment. I'm here to share these insights with you, so you too can embrace a life of love, happiness, and peace.
Why do I what I do? Because I care. And I believe in love!
