The Founder’s Journey
My path to founding Zen Rebel Wellness was paved by over 12 years of leadership in the non-profit sector, managing complex operations for immigrant, refugee, and homeless populations. Throughout my career in executive management and policy consulting, I witnessed firsthand the toll that ‘fighting the good fight’ takes on the human spirit. I saw how the weight of second-hand trauma and the relentless pace of high-stakes environments keep our bodies locked in a state of ‘fight-flight-freeze.’ This realization became my calling: I saw a desperate need for a sanctuary that didn’t just offer temporary relaxation, but focused on capacity building and the radical restoration of the nervous system.

The Zen Rebel Philosophy
As a proud Latina based in the heart of Brownsville, I built Zen Rebel Wellness to be more than a studio—it is a space for intentional rebellion against burnout. By integrating my certifications in body sculpting and maderotherapy with trauma-informed life coaching, I help my clients move out of survival mode and into a state of thriving peace. I believe that bodies at peace are more resilient, more confident, and better equipped to make sound decisions that benefit both their personal growth and society at large. Whether you are a frontline worker carrying the weight of the world or an individual seeking to reclaim your vitality, I am here to help you feel better, look better, and be better, so you can continue to pursue your purpose with a regulated spirit.
