Who I am can be summed up by my work, DeStress Therapy (www.destresssanantonio.com). Over 16 years ago, I dedicated myself to the practice of remaining physically, mentally and (most importantly) emotionally present to life no matter what circumstances I may find myself in. This has lead to a deep personal and professional understanding of healing, authentic listening and emotional empathy. I stand for health, healing, balance and the practical practice of self acceptance and love. I live a simple life, having learned how to be quiet from my practice and a Vispassana retreat. I value authentic exchanges, nature, and spiritual connections. I am very open to letting life teach me. Salt Lake City holds for me the promise of community and family as I'm moving with a friend who previously lived there. I also believe my work will be well received by the Salt Lake City community as I plan on working with gyms, yoga studios and floatation centers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am very excited to be moving to Salt Lake City this December 17th. I had a friend that I was supposed to be staying with but those plan haven't worked out. I have a business I'm looking to build and need time to get on my feet.
