Rocio is a multifaceted soul—an artist, writer, holistic chef, meditation practitioner, and soon-to-be mother. Born in the small town of Sagua La Grande, Cuba, she embarked on a life-altering journey at the age of seven when her family emigrated to the United States by boat, seeking a new life filled with opportunity and hope.

Art has been an intrinsic part of Rocio’s life since childhood. She honed her creativity at the prestigious D.A.S.H. magnet high school in Miami, where she studied graphic design and fine arts. This passion led her across the globe to Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, where she earned a Bachelor’s in Visual Communication.

At the heart of Rocio's journey is her spiritual path. At the tender age of 12, she was introduced to Eastern spirituality, sparking a lifelong commitment to spiritual inquiry. By 17, Rocio had completed her first yoga teacher training, a profound step that would lead her to visit India during her college years, where she immersed herself in Buddhist Vipassana Meditation.

Her spiritual quest has taken her across continents. With over 700 hours of yoga teacher training, she has taught yoga and meditation professionally in Miami, and the Dominican Republic. Her path continuously brought her back to India and across the U.S., where she studied under renowned spiritual leaders such as Amma Sri Karunamayi, Amma Amritanandamayi, and Mother Meera. Rocio's time in India was spent visiting holy sites, and the ashrams of Sathya Sai Baba, Ramana Maharshi, and other masters, absorbing the wisdom of these sacred places and souls.

Rocio’s culinary journey took off when she started cooking for a local temple in Miami, contributing to their Sunday programs. This sparked a new creative passion for cooking. Having cooked for herself from a young age due to the scarcity of healthy options, Rocio’s food is a reflection of her healing journey and travels. Her commitment to a healthy, plant-based diet led her to cook privately for families seeking real nourishment prepared with love and care.

Through this space, Rocio shares her journey—an offering of stories, insights, and lessons learned from her travels and spiritual studies. She hopes to inspire and support others on their healing journey, to guide them back to the essence of who they truly are.

Today, Rocio is based in Miami, Florida, where she eagerly awaits the arrival of her first child, embracing the divine path of motherhood—a spiritual journey in itself, full of love, grace, and profound growth.

May her journey inspire you to discover the sacredness within your own life.
