“What you seek is seeking you.”
- Rumi
Hi, I'm Yilda
I know what it’s like to live a siloed life.
In my 52 years, I’ve learned to accept death as part of life—not just literal death, but the endings of identities, relationships, and chapters. I experienced loss early and often: loved ones passing, the death of my marriage, and the rebirth that followed. Each ending became a portal—teaching me how to harness my grief and loss into creativity, purpose, and service that allow transformation to move through us.
For years, I mastered the art of compartmentalization—building a thriving market research business on one side, while quietly walking a purposeful spiritual path on the other. From the outside, it looked successful. On the inside, it felt unsustainable. The constant push and pull between worlds created strain, exhaustion, and a sense of disconnection from myself.
What I was truly seeking was integration—to understand my story, my life purpose, and how all parts of me belonged together.
That search led me deeper into spiritual practice: silence, meditation, yoga, tantra, shamanic journeying, and ancestral exploration. The more I listened inward, the clearer it became that living divided was not the life I was meant to lead. My healing required wholeness.
I’ve done the work to return to wholeness, so you don’t have to do yours alone.
Meet Me, Fully
I come from a lineage of people with spiritual gifts—gifts meant to be practiced privately. In my family, we lived by “el que dirán” (what will people say?). We showed up in the world with successful careers, while intuition, healing, and knowing were kept behind closed doors.
My great aunt Lidia—a healer and seer—passed down to me the gift of reading coffee cups. She is the ancestral root of StoryCup. Even as a child, I felt the calling to connect beyond the visible world, yet I learned to dim that part of myself to fit into the world as it was.
So I lived two lives—until I couldn’t anymore.
Today, I am a story-weaver and truth-seeker, someone who sees wholeness and oneness at once. I help people find their true voice and move forward with stories that awaken inner power.
My treasure chest is filled with tools gathered over a lifetime:
-
Certified spiritual & professional coach
-
Reiki Master & Pranic Healer
-

My personal practice is creating harmony between body, mind, and soul—so that harmony can ripple outward into the world.
STORYCUP
My service often begins with StoryCup: a shared cup of coffee or cacao and a reading of the grinds. Together, we explore the stories of the past, present, future, and even those forgotten or untold. From there, we co-create a coaching path that supports you in understanding and embodying a more aligned life.
What I want for you
A life where your experiences, gifts, griefs, and callings are not fragmented—but woven into something meaningful, embodied, and alive. A life where transformation isn’t just understood, but lived.
Because this is not about fixing you.It’s about remembering who you are—safely, consciously, and with guidance. Together, we create space for your story to be seen, felt, and embodied in service to your life and to humanity.
