For my day job, I work as a hospice nurse. I’m also a board-certified coach & have taken a certification course on somatic modalities. I’m personally vested in helping people curate a life that *they* are proud of, that feels gooood, where they can savor the ups & confidently navigate the downs–no matter how long they have left.

The name “Mindful Mija” had been marinating for two years before I finally stopped resisting it. If you’re not familiar, “mija” is a Spanish contraction of “mi” (my) and “hija” (daughter). It is a word of belonging, of acceptance, of safety. When someone calls you mija, you know you’re officially part of the fam! & now, you’re a part of this fam.

It also denotes the fact that we are entering an era of redefining what it means to be daughters. Maybe before it meant blindly following guidelines in the hopes of fitting in, or grief from not having the family you dreamed of, or even guilt if we didn’t always sacrifice for others. Through using mindfulness tools to explore these roles & how they’ve impacted you, we get to reinvent what your life could look like.
