My journey of self-discovery began with clearing out a single drawer.

Suffering from major burn-out in all aspects of my life, I walked away from a successful twenty-year career teaching at some of the most prestigious Boston schools in 1996 to enter a long period of reflection and re-invention—a terrifying place I call "not knowing." By releasing a huge part of my personal and professional identity, I was able to get in touch with the things that made my heart sing (and cringe): my passions, my longings, my fears... my clutter!

Intrigued by the idea that our spaces reflect us, affect us, and ultimately can support us, I spent the next ten years training with some of the World’s leading experts in the field of Environmental Space Clearing, Personal Clearing, Feng Shui, Clutter Clearing, and Dowsing.

In 1999 I became one of the first North American practitioners to certify with Karen Kingston, bestselling author of Clear your Clutter with Feng Shui.

I received a second certification in 2003 after four more years of advanced-level study with Eric Dowsett, master dowser from Australia. Eric’s teachings helped refine my space clearing practice, taking it to new heights of elegant simplicity.

Equally fascinated by the feminine principles—of slowing down, self-care, Mystery—that underlie my clearing message, I devoted as much time studying Women’s Spirituality and alternative healing, renewing the training I began as a teenager in Mexico City, where I was born and raised.

Thirty-five years of study in metaphysics and various healing modalities includes the work developed by José Silva, Usui Reiki as taught by John Harvey Gray, study with Dr. Brugh Joy, and the pioneering energy and Earth healing work of Rev. Desda Zuckerman, master dowser and teacher from Northern California.

I wrote my book as a way to process my journey of clearing and self-discovery, and inspire others to clear––one small step, drawer, or moment at a time. Your Spacious Self: Clear Your Clutter and Discover Who You Are is a personal, humorous, and poignant look at what can happen when we dial down our lives in a big way. For the teacher in me who lives to find those keys that unlock an ah-ha moment, it is a dream come true to generate companion programs like my 30-day Email Series and my Expanded Online Course that can possibly reach and touch millions all over the world via the Web.

For all the inspiration that I’ve received through life experience, extraordinary opportunity, and study with brilliant teachers over the years, however, there's no replacing the wisdom that simply comes from living life in present time, embracing (by feeling) the shadow when it shows up, and entering each moment with innocent curiosity. When I can bring these qualities to the table, I feel totally spacious—and complete.

Thank you for visiting Spaceclear.com. In the true spirit of the word “remember” which means to call back (recall) and gather all of your missing “parts” into a more unified whole, I offer my best wishes in your journey of remembering, reclaiming, and enjoying Your Spacious Self!
