About

Hola Mujeres! Welcome to my site!!

I’m so excited for you to be here to join me on this journey to learning about your body. The vision to create this blog started right after having my third son and realizing that there are not many places for women to find expert information about their health on the internet, let alone in English and Spanish!

I also want to inspire women to know that you can have a career in medicine, and still be a mom and wife and all the other cool things you want to be. I want to shatter any stereotypes about women not being able to be leaders in business or medicine because each one of you can! I want women to not feel alone in the world when a career in medicine comes to mind.

So as you travel along with me, I hope to empower you and I hope this platform can answer some of the many questions that go through your mind when it comes to health, motherhood, medicine or even if you need just a little inspiration. I want to connect, educate, and encourage mujeres to take charge of their health. I want this community to bring optimal health of the mind, body, and spirit. I understand you and you got this mujer.
