"Life is A Stage is made in Batik technique using eco soy and organic coconut wax blend in honour of my love for my Lola Rosario and Lola Antonia, my grandmothers who taught me how to heal and give respect to the power of The Tree of Life - The Coconut 💓

My life journey has been a practice of poetry, writing, voice, yoga, theatre arts, community and creative collaborations. At a very young age, I've shared many stories through poetry and dance. Storytelling became my passion and developed into creative + collaboration within many Canadian communities. My creative fire sharpened at York University’s Theatre Conservatory.

In 2005, I was one of the Creative Starters at Carlos Bulosan Theatre and Kapisanan Philippines Arts Centre in Toronto, Ontario. After working as a Professional Theatre + Creative + Collaborator, I moved my focus and energy to the Art of Wellness of Mind + Body. Here my devotion for Yoga blossomed. I've been a Yoga Teacher & Creative Fire Storyteller for the past 10 years in British Columbia, Canada.”
