Why do I coach?
When I was about four years old, I remember going on walks at the ranch with my maternal grandmother in Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico. During those walks, my grandmother, Mama Coco, would cut wild flowers and make me a flower crown and put it on my head. By the time I was about six years old, I was making them for myself and my Ballet Folkloric group. We would sit and talk for hours. Flowers taught me that creativity and imagination give us peace and joy. Over the years, I learned that sharing knowledge with others is a beautiful feeling and it gives us purpose and helps us overcome challenges.
Today, I enjoy doing Empowerment Workshops as a
SHINE COACH
for friends, family, students, parents, teachers, principals, pastors, and entrepreneurs schools, libraries, churches, community centers, conferences, and businesses.

A Flower Crown Experience for the Empowered Woman
Ages 10 and up
Book it at your church, library, school, or business!
Step into a sacred space of beauty, sisterhood, and transformation with Crowned with Purpose—a one-of-a-kind motivational workshop where women create their own flower crowns as a symbol of identity, healing, and hope.
In this hands-on experience, each bloom and stem becomes more than decoration; it becomes a declaration. As participants weave together flowers, they’ll also weave together stories, scripture, quotes, and self-worth—rediscovering their God-given beauty and power.
Guided by inspirational facilitators, women will:
🌸 Craft a unique flower crown that symbolizes their journey, growth, and divine calling.
🌸 Engage in soul-stirring conversations and reflective exercises that help release pain, embrace healing, and reclaim purpose.
🌸 Hear encouraging words and testimonies rooted in faith, reminding them they are crowned with glory and honor (Psalm 8:5).
🌸 Leave renewed and confident—not just adorned with flowers, but equipped with truth, joy, and a fresh sense of identity.

Book Into Art: Where Words Come Alive 📖-$35 pp
$25 for addition siblings!
Ages 10 and up
Book it at your church, library, school, or business!
In this inspiring session, students will breathe new life into old book pages—literally turning literature into visual art. Each student selects a page from a donated or recycled book, then pulls out meaningful words from the text to create a “found poem” or statement. Around those words, they’ll design original art—drawing, painting, or collaging to reflect the emotion, theme, or message they discovered.
Goals:
✦ Encourage creative thinking and emotional expression
✦ Deepen engagement with language and hidden meaning
✦ Promote literature and resourceful art-making
✦ Build confidence through sharing unique interpretations
Students will:
✔ Highlight or circle selected words/phrases on a page
✔ Paint and decorate the rest of the text to reveal their chosen message
✔ Create a visual masterpiece that frames and enhances the meaning
✔ Present their artwork as part of a gallery-style display or classroom showcase. Be sure to include important details like value, length of service, and why it’s unique.
