My Story

In 2012, I felt lost and hopeless. I was struggling to find healthy relationships, a fullfilling career, the true meaning of happiness and the ability to communicate with others effectively. After nothing seemed to make sense, in 2013, I left everything I knew behind and moved from Puerto Rico, where I was born and raised.

I relocated to San Francisco, CA with just three suitcases, no home, one job offer and little to no money. The years ahead led me to look for the mental clarity that I longed for.

You can read more about my story, in my upcoming book A Renegade's Journey To Stillness.

Born and raised in Puerto Rico in the 90’s, Marita grappled with pushing through social constructs, learning disabilities, and the journey of self discovery in addition to battling with homophobia on a predominantly Catholic island. And once she had finally built the life that she longed for, loss still found her. This funny, heartwarming, story of resilience will keep you reaching for more. The book also includes tools and strategies that you may personally find beneficial in your own journey to stillness.
