Über mich
When the body feels heavy, the mind crowded, and the heart quietly aches for a way back, Lu Jong offers a gentle return.

Rooted in Tibetan medicine and Buddhist wisdom, this practice restores the spine, nourishes the organs, balances the inner elements, and clears stagnant energy. It’s not about performance. It’s a soft, sacred discipline—a pathway to come back to yourself with tenderness and strength.

Classes are always free, with no expectation of donations. All bodies, all stories, all seasons of life are welcome.

I was trained and certified directly by Tulku Lobsang Rinpoche as a 5 Elements & Lu Jong Teacher, and I continue to share these practices in gratitude to the lineage he so generously entrusts to his students.

Yoga was the doorway, but since 2007 it has been Buddhist teachings that opened the path—a structure for awakening compassion in action. Under the guidance of H.E. Khangser Rinpoche since 2018, I’ve deepened my devotion and now help facilitate Lamrim and Vajrayana teachings through the Dipkar Vajrayana Institute. These teachings have become the spine of my life, anchoring me in study, service, and surrender.

Before turning fully toward spiritual teaching, I walked many years through public service and advocacy. My work carried me across housing justice, women’s reproductive health, education, equity, and trauma recovery, always with the same question close to my heart: how do we serve with both integrity and love?

I hold a Master’s in Public Administration and Counseling Psychology, and a Bachelor’s in Sociology and Spanish Literature. Alongside this, I am a certified Kabbalah Analyst, and Reiki Master. These studies shaped my mind; it is the call to service that has shaped my spirit.

Whether building bilingual curriculum, coordinating FEMA surplus programs, or producing films to lift the voices of philanthropy, each path reminded me that service is not just strategy or structure—it is presence, it is listening, it is care.

In 2023, my husband and I rooted our lives in Mexico City. I’m a mother of two, a bonus mom to three, and now a grandmother to one luminous little soul. Our pups, Harper, Dave, and Josh, keep daily life threaded with play and joy.
