"We have had the privilege of working with Carolina in multiple capacities— from designing in-person and virtual workshops, to program development for our annual conference, and most recently, integrating healing justice principles into a year-long leadership program. As a person of color, popular educator, and organizer, Carolina brings a sharp, intersectional analysis of how systems of oppression impact our wellness and healing, which is pivotal to the work we do as an immigrant rights organization.
Recently, Carolina co-designed and co-facilitated a transformative weekend-long leadership training. She helped participants understand the deep connection between healing and immigrant justice, and she provided mindful practices that participants could integrate into their daily lives and their work.
Carolina is not only an outstanding facilitator, but she’s also an exceptional thought partner. She listens deeply to the group’s needs, tailoring her work to meet specific goals and ensuring that the experience resonates with what the group needs. Her approach encourages reflection, growth, and a sense of shared purpose. We highly recommend Carolina to any group looking to start or deepen their healing justice work!"

“Under Carolina’s leadership and facilitation, our network has built a trusted environment that prioritizes sensitivity and openness. Carolina has tailored these spaces to address the unique pressures and emotional needs of attorneys and executive directors. Her expertise and care foster a safe, respectful space that emphasizes both collective and personal empowerment.”
S. B. Executive Director HeartWell Institute
Carolina is an exceptional mindfulness teacher whose expertise and genuine passion for her work shine through in every session. She is a joy to partner with, bringing warmth, kindness, and authenticity to her teaching. Her ability to create a welcoming and supportive environment makes her a standout in the field. I would strongly recommend Carolina as a teacher to anyone seeking a transformative mindfulness experience
Genesis Lazo Walker
Carolina's teaching and presence in my life have been so meaningful that I can sincerely say she changed my life. Before meeting Carolina and taking her courses (MBSR and MSC) and some one-on-one coaching, I often found myself at war inside my mind, worrying about how happy I was making others, about the future, and reliving my past too often. Carolina has taught me to navigate and really FEEL my emotions in my body and give them a place to go while being kind to myself in the process.
