Things I’d say to co-parents (if I wasn’t afraid of hurting your feelings):

You are part of the cycle, too. Co-parenting dynamics are rarely one-sided—when they push, you may shut down; when you overwhelm, they may retreat. Not to blame you, but to remind you that awareness is power. Most co-parents are doing the best they can with the capacity, experience, and knowledge they have—even if it doesn’t look the way you hoped. And sometimes, without realizing it, we project unresolved hurt from the relationship onto our child.

Co-parenting across two households can feel exhausting and lonely, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. I help parents break unhealthy cycles, protect their child from tension, and communicate with greater clarity and confidence.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from my 4(?)Year old self! 🎄

She was a girl who just adored her dolls, books, make up and cooking playsets. At this time, my parents and I lived in a modest duplex home in Cagayan de Oro city, two doors down from my maternal grandparents where we would have Noche Buena (Christmas Eve celebration) with all my titos, titas and cousins and stay up till midnight before we exchanged presents.

Hope everyone has a Happy and safe Holiday season! See you all in the New Year! 🎉

This was a buuusssyyy year but very productive year for my practice. Apart from seeing clients, i had four speaking engagements including the Women’s Conference and my Paghilom workshop. I joined the Los Alamitos Chamber of Commerce and got connected to many generous people in the organization. I also got to meet other therapists and providers that are just as passionate in serving the community. I attended the emotionally focused individual therapy training in Las Vegas and assisted in various EFFT trainings as a helper in role plays.

And to balance the hustle, i ensured taking time off in the summer (and my upcoming Holiday break) and a yoga retreat to center and balance myself.

even with the hustle and bustle, what was most important to me is continuing to hold space and help individuals, couples and families break the cycle and make their way towards each other. The human and relational aspects of this work is what I love the best. ❤️

The intimate setting and number of participants that could make it made for an extra safe and secure space at the Paghilom Workshop last night. ❤️ It’s always good for the heart and soul to commune with people, especially if the experiences are similar.
We did lots of guided meditation, grounding, body scan and the like to help the participants with their healing journey. Lots of intimate stories were shared. And despite the distance and the rain, they all came in with an open heart and mind. These folks were courageous and i am deeply inspired. ❤️

I’m now accepting appointments for Inner Child Intensives (longer sessions) for 2026. ❤️‍🩹

Aahhh…. My heart and soul is so full from all the connections and conversations i had today. Had to quickly pivot after a technical snafu but i managed to get on with the program and lead the attendees to a beautiful encounter with their inner child. And they got to see their child selves and giver comfort! What a privilege that was to create that space and join them.

It was also fun to be with Stacie of and Grace of , two other badass, inspiring moms and business owners.

Much thanks again to the city of Los Alamitos and for the wonderful opportunity. My heart is grateful! ❤️

I’m so excited to be sharing this 2.5 hour, in-person workshop to the Filipinx community where we get to meet and convene as a diaspora and facilitate healing together.

Please forward this to your clients, friends, family and other people who may be interested. I’m wanting it to be a more intimate setting so space is limited.

“A gentle space for the Filipinx soul—where we meet our inner child, honor our parents’ stories, and learn to bridge the distance between them. Through reflection, shared stories, and healing practices, you’ll leave with a lighter heart, deeper understanding, and tools to continue your journey.”

Is This Workshop for You?
✅ You’re Filipinx or part of the diaspora and want a space that feels like home
✅ You’re curious about meeting your inner child
✅ You want to understand your parents’ story with more compassion
✅ You’re ready to explore and begin the process to healing family patterns
✅ You love learning in community and being witnessed in your growth

If you checked yes to any of these, this workshop is for you. 💛

Failure to launch or “my teen is lazy!” is common theme in my sessions. And I get it, we as parents feel like we failed our child and so we do everything we can to get them moving.
Transmitting confidence to them might just be the answer; it boost their self-esteem and it keeps a relationship intact.

When comfort, love and care is modeled, it is replicated.

I started to write notes for my girls again (middle photo) and put them on their bedroom door to see as soon as they’d get home. One time, they raced to their door just to see what i had written.

And now my 5 year old returned that love right at me today. With 8 notes. 😍

My personal faves? The top middle- WBME- which stands for “world’s best mom ever” ☺️ and the bottom middle, where i’m standing on a medal podium with a medal.

This little act shows the power of love. ❤️

Parents, how do you show your love?
