DON'T DIE WITH YOUR MUSIC STILL IN YOU.

Hello Friend!
I'M Aurea.
Yogi... SURVIVOR...
and relentless optimist.
I believe with all my heart that every human deserves to be WELL and live a life that brings them happiness and deep soul fulfillment. The adventure of discovering and creating our best selves is our birthright.
But the thing is, this adventure is not for the faint of heart. The journey to a life of true wellness and vibrant alignment requires courage, healing, grit and gumption.
Armed with the transformative practices of yoga, my mission is to serve those on this brave journey... THE JOURNEY WITHIN.
Be FEARLESS
in the pursuit of what
SETS YOUR SOUL ON FIRE.

I grew up an only child, raised by a single working mother.
I am a first generation, filipino-american woman.
My mother is my hero. She is living proof that anything is possible in life with faith, determination and hard work.
She has shown me how to endure and survive life's difficult challenges with grace, perseverance and a fighting spirit.

I am a SURVIVOR of childhood sexual trauma.
I understand how unhealed past trauma can continue to wound you far beyond the time of the traumatic experience.
My healing journey began as hap-hazard experiences that I just happened to stumble upon... but it eventually became a COMPASS that would lead me to my SOUL'S CALLING... to be a channel for HEALING, RESILIENCE and EMPOWERMENT.

I have always felt the tug of my heart's calling.
My path to living a life aligned with my soul's purpose has been a crazy roller coaster. The road was never clear, but always knew it had something to do with pursuing things that lit me up from the inside out.
Past lives include: musical theatre actress, Disney dancer, and Catholic confirmation retreat leader...

I have chased the proverbial carrot.
Despite feeling the tug to follow my bliss, I could not escape the expectations of becoming a responsible adult. I had a very upwardly mobile career in corporate marketing for nearly 10 years. While I got to work for some amazing companies, did some really fun things and made some good $$, I was always chasing someone else's definition of success. Despite the outward expressions of achievement, I could not ignore the feeling that my true gifts were being left undiscovered.
I have been married... and divorced.
To be honest, this one is really tough to share... I never knew where my healing journey would lead and how healing would affect major parts of my life. I have been blessed beyond measure to be loved and married to a good and amazing man. But I also have experienced how despite having so much deep love, respect and admiration for that person, that the most loving thing I could do was to let go with love. I have made this heart-wrenching decision and had to learn how to live with it's weight, the guilt, the sadness and the subsequent healing process of the aftermath.
I have given up everything to find the true me and set myself free.
I chose to leave the safety and comfort of my outwardly successful life to follow the nudges of my soul's calling. Little did I know that this path would eventually call me to do the hardest things imaginable. To walk away from the beautiful life I had built and all of the status and security it provided. It seems God planned to remove every bit of my life that was not aligned with the truth of my heart, and then from the foundations, to rebuild me in my truth... no more masks... just freely me.
