nice to meet you

Hey there, I’m Isa — A curious mind with one foot in science and the other in soul work. I bridge the worlds of neuroscience, personal growth, and spiritual evolution — helping people rewire their brains, heal deeply, connect to the Divine and create the lives they want.

Before diving into transformation work, I built a strong foundation in science and business. With a Master’s in Biomedical Engineering and an MBA — and two medical doctors for parents — critical thinking and curiosity have always been part of my world.

Today, that lens helps me translate complex topics like brain plasticity, nervous system regulation, and behavior change into tools for real, embodied transformation.

From Science to Spirituality (with Some Wild Detours)

What sparked the shift for me wasn’t a dramatic breakdown — just a quiet knowing that something was missing. I’d spent years strengthening my intellect, but emotionally and spiritually, I felt disconnected.

After facing an eating disorder and periods of depression, therapists kept telling me: “You’ll always live with this.” But I never bought that. I believed — deeply — that the brain could rewire, and that we are capable of healing in ways science didn’t fully understand yet.

So I went all in. I immersed myself in deep meditation — not just apps and mantras, but darkroom retreats, silence, solitude, and study across Buddhist, Sufi, and Yogic traditions. And that’s when things really started to open. The more I connected inward, the more I tapped into something limitless — a sense of clarity, expansion, creativity, and purpose I’d never known before.

Spirituality wasn’t just about healing. It was about remembering who I really was. Reclaiming power. Creating a life that felt deeply aligned — one where intuition, intelligence, and freedom could coexist.

What My Life Looks Like Now

Most people want some version of love, health, and freedom. Same here. But for me, freedom also means feeling mentally clear, emotionally steady, and connected to something bigger than myself.

Today, I run a business I genuinely love — one that gives me the flexibility to live between Bali, Barcelona, and Mexico. Each place supports a different part of who I am — creativity, rest, community, and quiet. And yes, I clearly have a thing for the beach.

This life didn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of doing the inner work and actually applying the tools I teach — from brain rewiring and nervous system regulation to getting clear on what I want and learning how to align with it.

I’ve had to face some tough stuff. Healing from an eating disorder wasn’t a straight line and neither was working through years of emotional patterning and family dynamics.

I didn’t just hope things would change. I studied how behavior works, how patterns form, and how to shift them — and then I lived it.

For me, it’s all about expansion. Creating new possibilities. Letting your inner world reshape your outer one.

And the wild thing? It works.

Let’s Talk Bufo Alvarius

While living in Mexico, I met a woman who had been working with Bufo Alvarius for decades. We became close, and over time, I became her apprentice. The work was completely different from anything I had studied in science or medicine — but the results were undeniable. I watched people experience deep, lasting shifts — physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

I’ve witnessed this medicine crack open hearts, lift heavy emotional layers, and reconnect people to something much bigger than themselves. It’s not for everyone — but for those who feel called and ready, it can be life-changing.

Why I Work One-on-One

Group ceremonies are common — and I respect the people who hold space in that way. But it’s not how I choose to work. I’m sensitive to energy, and in large groups, things can easily get muddy. I’ve heard too many stories of people leaving group sessions feeling worse because they picked up something that wasn’t theirs.

One-on-one work allows for something very different: clean energy, clear focus, and deep presence. It’s just you and me. No outside influences. No energetic interference. Just a safe, intentional space for your process to unfold in the way it’s meant to.

That’s where I’ve seen the deepest, most lasting transformations.

Why Work with Me

So, why should you trust me as your guide? Because I’ve been where you are. I know the yearning for something more, the frustration of feeling stuck, and the excitement of discovering your true power. I’m here to walk with you every step of the way, blending my unique mix of spiritual wisdom, scientific knowledge, and personal experience to help you create a life that’s not just successful, but deeply fulfilling.

Ready to Transform? Let’s Do This.

If you’re ready to step into your power, manifest your wildest dreams, and live a life that’s authentically yours, I’m here for it. Let’s make some magic together.
