Artist, Explorer, Connector
An artist and passionate traveler at heart, I am driven by a love for nature, adventure, and cultural authenticity—from music and languages to gastronomy. My journey is rooted in wellness and the aerial arts, from stage performances around the globe to transformative retreats, my mission is to ignite self-empowerment, emotional release, and authentic human connection through conscious movement. I find my greatest fulfillment in the simplicity of nature, the depth of a meaningful friendship, and the transformative power of body art.
The Global Aerialist
Performing & Training Across Borders
From the Irish Aerial Dance Festival (IADF) in Ireland to elite training residencies across the Netherlands, Chicago, Seattle, and Costa Rica, my journey in the aerial arts began in 2014. As the founder and artistic director of performance groups, I have cultivated a profound, multidisciplinary mastery across silks, lyra, and aerial hammock—fusing rigorous international technique with expressive choreography. Beyond performing in high-level galas, theatrical productions, and cultural festivals worldwide, I mentor aerialists in body isolation, musicality, and stage presence. My work transforms aerial acrobatics into high-impact emotional storytelling, turning the air into a living stage where technique meets pure artistic expression and raw passion.
The Wellness Architect
Curating Transformative Retreats
Since 2020, I have designed and led immersive wellness experiences, scaling from private one-on-one sessions to comprehensive international retreats and corporate wellness programs. My approach uniquely combines therapeutic movement and holistic healing with artistic flow, integrating Integral and SUP Yoga, Sound Therapy, Traditional Thai Bodywork, and sacred Cacao Ceremonies. Each experience is crafted as a living art piece—guiding individuals through self-empowerment tools, emotional renewal, and a deeply grounded connection with nature and community.
The Visionary Founder
Leadership & Logistics
As the founder and CEO of AGLOCAM Logistics since 2013, I bring over a decade of executive leadership, sustainable operations, and international event coordination.

From coordinating complex institutional logistics for private and governmental organizations to managing cross-cultural experiences abroad, I transform ambitious visions into seamless, impactful, and unforgettable human journeys.
A Legacy of Learning and Empowerment
Body movement has been the rhythm of my life since the day I was born. Growing up in Costa Rica, Latin rhythms were naturally woven into my DNA, inspired by my mother—my very first dance teacher— I learned to dance from her before I could even understand techniques, she really passed down her deep love for the dance floor. That early fire led me through dance academies, choreographic crews, competitions, and urban and Latin stage shows. Over time, this innate passion evolved into a lifelong devotion: grounding my roots through a degree in Sustainable Tourism, formalizing my craft through rigorous international certifications in aerial arts, yoga, and therapeutic bodywork, and mastering the tools that empower myhuman spirit.
