Interview

• If you and I were on the beach having some wine and great food, what would you tell me about yourself.
  Depends on the person. What might be appropriate to tell one person upon first meeting may not be appropriate to tell another. Everyone is different.
• What makes you stand out from the crowd?
  How I think.
• What are your greatest personal traits?
  Personally, I'm aware of the transitory nature of life, and I can empathize with people.
  
  Physically, well that's for me to know and for you to find out. ;)
• What is your ‘niche’?
  Healing, soul deep sex.
• If you have to pick one thing that everyone else should absolutely know about you, what would it be?
  I'm half Puerto Rican, and I come from a mixed race background. I like to share this information because I want others to know that people who look like me exist!
• What would you like your followers to know about you that is unique and even a bit personal?
  Although I am White appearing, I'm half Afro-Latino, half White. I don't like when clients refer to me as White. Without the Black, Hispanic, and Indigenous, I don't exist.
• What are your hobbies? What do you like to do in your spare time?
  I love learning languages, studying psychology, and writing. Right now, I'm learning Brazilian Portuguese. It's been a bit of a challenge, but I'm thoroughly enjoying it.
• How do you go that ‘extra mile' in your life?
  I don't. Hahaha! I feel that the world has become too competitive and that too many people are being told or left feeling that they're "not enough."
  
  My form of rebellion has been to stop trying harder.
• Tell us what you consider to be your greatest life experience.
  I've had several. If I could top it off, acting on stage has been my best experience in life thus far. Tapping into another character's energy to tell a story is exhilarating.
• Name 5 things that you can’t live without.
  Food, a functioning nervous system, oxygen, sodium, and water. Hahaha! I'm just kidding. I know some of you reading this might be thinking, "Smart ass!" to which I say, "Better than being a dumbass!" *Big smile.*
  
  I can't live without love. In fact, more research is confirming that as human beings, we can't live without it. In an article from The Guardian, Dr. Stephanie Cacioppo, a neuroscientist at the University of Chicago, mentions that love is a biological necessity.
  
  I also don't think I could go without exercising. I start to become antsy and irritable when I don't exercise for more than a week.
  
  Having social connections is vitally important as well for me. In a 2014 report from 60 Minutes, "Living in your 90s", which examined what contributed to a long, healthy life among senior citizens, socializing was one of the key factors.
  
  I'm also finding that I don't do well without sex in my life. (In other words, I could never be a monk. Hahaha!) Sex is energetically and physically revitalizing for me.
  
  A final thing I don't think I could live without is being able to get away from time to time. Traveling is what feeds my spirit.
• What do you do for fun?
  I enjoy bars, comedy clubs, dancing, and traveling.
• What’s your lifestyle? What makes you who you are?
  My dedication to going to the gym, keeping my mind active by learning new things, and watching what I eat is why I still have the same energy at 30 that I had when I was 18.
• What kind of diet and fitness regiment do you follow?
  I go to the gym five times a week, and my diet plan is love your body, move more, and get eight hours of sleep.
• How often do you travel? Do you prefer to travel or you are more of a homebody?
  I travel as often as I can.
• What do you enjoy most about yourself?
  I love the fact that I love to enjoy life and that I genuinely want to help people.
• What should others absolutely know about you?
  I understand that not being able to be who we are is still a reality for some of us. Whether you're part of a culture that is vehemently against homosexuality, you fear that you would lose out on a promotion at your job, or you could face violence if the people in your life were to learn about your sexual orientation, I get it. I want others to know that I understand why someone may still be in the closet in the 21st century.
  
  One aspect aspect that I love about my job is I get to help people feel better. Maybe they just want somebody to hold, to mess around with, to talk to, or to touch them in a way that they rarely ever are. I get to be that person for my client. Sometimes, at the end of a session, I'll hear, "Thank you. This was therapeutic." Even though I'm not solving their life problems, I'm providing a moment of intermission that they can find solace in. It's a privilege to be able to help people on a deeply intimate level.
