I grew up in Merida City, in the Yucatan Peninsula ofThis happens to be the sister city of Panama City,where I moved a year ago.  This sisterhood helps me to feel as if I am with a “close neighbor”.Everything started years ago when I had to change the tallest castles of Chichen Itza and Uxmal from where I was able to see the whole planet and where I was sure That God could hear me better, for the Magna Autonomous University of  Mexico UNAM  the oldest University in Norte America founded in 1551. I enrolled to study the human body because of our family tradition obtaining a diploma in Dental Surgery. This allowed me to continue exploring 32 teeth in those with “wisdom”.

There is a saying that “when the student is ready, the teacher is born.”  I was very lucky to have two “Gran Maestras.” One was a pioneer in Mexico in Lymphatic therapy and natural medicine, and the other was a therapist for patients in the terminal stage of disease. With their mentoring, I was able to continue studying in Europe to become a certified Lymphatic Therapist.  When I returned to Yucatan, I became a member of the staff in the Medical Diagnostic Center where I gave therapy for pain and edemas, as well as skincare. Living in the United States, I have been able to study current techniques which are used world wide.  None of these accomplishments would have been possible without the support of my loving family: my husband, my children, and my parents who are still active in the medical field.

While living in Panama City, I have also taken advantage of opportunities to study English.  The programs which are at Shaw Adult Center, Gulf Coast Community College, and Heritage Bible Church are available for those who wish to learn more about the English language.  This community has many opportunities for free education.

Now, my clients are receiving skin therapy in  Frida Natural Derma Balance, which uses the best therapeutic qualities of Organic/ Biodynamic plant essences, extracts, and oils.

Biodynamic agriculture supports the intrinsic qualities of each plant and helps eliminate the need for synthetic fertilizers. In addition, natural predators like ladybugs take the place of chemical pesticides. The natural rhythms of the moon cycles, seasons and cosmic patterns dictate the farm’s schedule just as they did in the ancient Mayan Civilization.  These healthier plants have a greater healing potential for the human body, and the farming techniques are more environmentally friendly.  I enjoy knowing that I am providing the best possible skin care therapy for my clients.
