My story is one story, but I believe it reflects a journey many of us share.

Growing up in Ecuador after losing my parents young, I learned resilience early. That path led me to an MBA from Cornell and a successful career in Corporate America. From the outside, I had achieved what I once believed would bring fulfillment. Yet, like many, I found that external success alone couldn't answer the deeper longing within.

That search led me to a profound healing experience through ancestral wisdom, one that revealed a freedom, self-love, and inner peace I had never known. More importantly, it showed me there are other paths to healing and living, ones that honor the whole person: mind, body, heart, and spirit.

I came to understand that transformation cannot be forced, it unfolds naturally when we feel safe enough to release old patterns, supported enough to be vulnerable, and open enough to receive new possibilities.

That realization became the inspiration for Ater Tumti. I didn't create it because I believe everyone should follow my path. I created it so others could discover their own, in an environment where nature, ancestral wisdom, holistic practices, and conscious community come together to support healing and transformation.

Together with my partner, Angelica Coronilla, we left our lives in the United States to bring this vision to life. Today, Ater Tumti is a sanctuary for those called to pause, reconnect, and explore new ways of living and leading with presence and purpose.

Perhaps this resonates with you, not because our stories are the same, but because you recognize, somewhere in your own journey, a longing for deeper connection and a different way of being.

Welcome to Ater Tumti. We would be honored to walk alongside you.
