About
Liminal Lemonade
The term liminal comes from the Latin word limen, meaning "threshold." It refers to a transitional or in-between space, both literally and metaphorically. In a liminal space, you're on the cusp of change—no longer in the past, but not fully in the future. These are moments of uncertainty, ambiguity, or transformation, where old structures have been left behind, but the new ones haven’t yet fully emerged.
In life, liminality might appear during times of major personal or professional change—when you’re between jobs, relationships, or identities—or when you're exploring new aspects of yourself, such as spirituality or creativity. Though liminal spaces can sometimes feel uncomfortable or disorienting, they also hold immense potential for growth.
Liminal space is not something to rush through - it is a time to be honored. It is where the real magic happens.

My Journey from
Burnout to Breakthrough
I thought self-sacrifice was the sign of a good leader - a good person
I had a reputation for working long hours, my attention to detail, and ensuring that everyone felt seen and heard, but I didn’t want to acknowledge how little I was seeing or hearing myself and my own body’s needs. After many years of mostly stress-related health issues, constantly feeling burnt out no matter how much time I took off, and many more years of ignoring the thought that maybe I wasn’t really doing what I was meant to be in the first place…I was looking for answers.
Senior Producer in the TV and Film industry for 20 years
I have always been passionate about caring for and supporting others, and creating the environments in which people are able to thrive.
-
Am I in the right career for me?
-
If so, how can I heal from and prevent future burnout?
-
If not, how can I pivot to another, more fulfilling career?
-
What might that career be?
-
What is next in my soul’s journey?
-
What is my place in this world?
-
Why am I even here???
The list went on…
I knew that was a tall order, but I went into each reiki session and medicine ceremony curious to explore these questions together with my fungi teachers and allies, as I connected with my inner knowing.
I had so many questions
Big transitions and deep exploration
I went from relying on external validation to feel good about myself to discovering a deep, unshakable connection to my own worth and wholeness. I consciously transitioned out of my video producing career while reconnecting with my Puerto Rican and Taino ancestry, the mediumship and psychic abilities of both my grandmothers, and the deep spirituality of my lineages.
Slowly…the answers came
This exploration ignited my passion for energy work and psychedelic frameworks, revealing my true calling:
3/5 Emotional Projector
The answers for me came in the form of:
Intentional Journey Work
Reiki Energy Work
Human Design
...to create warm, nurturing spaces for seekers and creatives to embark on their own journeys of self-exploration.
Full circle
Everything I now offer is infused with a deeply personal touch, because they are based on my own personal journey and experiences. I am so grateful to be able to share my path with you.
I would be remiss not to mention that a fundamental inspiration for my work with psychedelics comes from my brother, a Marine Corps combat veteran. His experiences have deepened my understanding of the healing potential that psychedelics can offer, particularly for those who have faced trauma.
While I am not a licensed mental health professional and I do not work directly with combat veterans or individuals with C/PTSD, I strongly advocate for greater access to psychedelic-assisted therapies for veterans and others in need, in addition to those seeking their use simply for creative and personal growth and expansion. I see psychedelics, and psilocybin mushrooms in particular, as some of the most life-changing (life-saving!) and beneficial medicines known to humanity.
I believe the work that I’m doing can help bring a positive change to the conversations around these therapies. Each successful experience I help foster has the potential to be another vote to decriminalize psilocybin…more money going toward psychedelic research…another Nancy Reagan “Just Say No” mind changed through the transformational experience of a family member or friend...all of which can mean easier access to treatments for veterans and those in need. I am firmly committed to changing these conversations, one journey at a time.
