Angela is a certified Mental Health Practitioner residing in Vancouver, Canada. She was born in Colombia and completed her studies in Montreal, where she resided for 14 years before moving to BC. She holds a B.Sc. in Psychology and a M.Sc. in Psychiatry Research. Furthermore, she has nine years of experience in clinical research, working in geriatric psychiatry and mind-body interventions. Her passion for mindfulness and compassionate-based approaches lead her to discover Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC), in which she worked along Dr. Kristin Neff at the graduate level. She then transitioned from a career in clinical research to psychotherapy, graduating from Compassionate Inquiry (CI) with Dr. Gabor Maté. Angela is also a graduate of Eckhart Tolle’s School of Awakening and bases her personal practices on the teaching of A Course in Miracles (ACIM).

Angela’s journey has been touched by both physical and mental illness. Because of her personal experience, she strongly believes that every human being deserves to feel connected with compassion and understanding. She holds an exceptional capacity as an attentive listener and roots her work in creating and sustaining safety and trust. She believes we all have the ability to heal if we truly commit to trusting the process, and experiencing growth by our innate capacity to work on ourselves in a compassionate manner.

Her search for different healing modalities leads her to bridge science and spirituality, recognizing the importance of attending to our bodily needs to optimize health while deepening into the power of the mind to discover the origins of trauma. She describes: “Our unconscious  beliefs and conditioned patterns guide our behaviours. Until we awake to the unconscious, through awareness and compassion, we cannot pursue living a life with purpose and true freedom”.
