Sabrosura Integration & Embodiment for High-Achieving Women
TED Talk 13+ Million Views
I work with high-achieving women who have built something real — and feel the gap between what they've achieved and how they feel inside.
The pattern I see: You built your career having to suppress your feminine. To be taken seriously, you needed to be Direct. Controlled. Competent. You've been performing what's expected for so long that the woman underneath it all has gotten covered. Not lost. Dimmed.
You hit a ceiling where more competence, more strategy, more doing doesn't move the needle. Not in the boardroom. Not in your relationships. Because what's missing isn't more skill. It's you.
That's where the sabrosura changes everything.
The sabrosura is the Cuban word for that gorgeous, mesmerizing femininity that makes you undeniable without trying. It's not weak. It's embodied feminine elegance and power.
It's the part of you that was there before the achieving started — and is still there, waiting to come back.
This is the work. Returning to her.
How I Came to this Work
I learned the embodiment of the sabrosura in Cuba, where I immersed myself for over 15 years. Cuban women ooze this undeniable energy — the sabrosura — an unapologetic femininity every woman longs to embody.
But I was living the opposite.
As a leading woman in the corporate world, I was strong — yet I struggled to lead with my softer side. I had my armour on. I learned early to rely on control, direction, and competence to feel safe. To shield the softer parts of myself from being seen. And for a long time, it worked.
Until it didn't.
It took me years to find my way back — to my body, to the woman underneath all the achieving — without losing my power. That journey became Somatic Intelligence: a body-based practice built from everything I studied and lived through, from deep immersion in Cuba to working with women across the world.
I watched so many competent women around me do the same — suppress this very part of themselves to be taken seriously, to succeed, to protect themselves from getting hurt.
That's why I do this work.
My TED Talk, which has captivated 13 million viewers, resonated because I had the courage to speak this truth — and embody the undeniable side of womanhood so many of us long to express freely.
Now I guide high-achieving women through the same return. Back to themselves. Back to the Sabrosura. Without losing your edge.
Somatic Intelligence,
for High Achieving Women
I don't teach leadership frameworks.
I don't give you strategy templates.
I don't focus on thinking about it.
I work on your embodiment.
On feeling more.
On what transforms it — and fast.
This is body-based transformation, not intellectual learning.
Your competence stays intact. And the woman you set aside to build everything you have — she comes back.

Where Do You Want to Begin?
There's a conversation you keep circling. At home or in business — you know what needs to be said, but can't find the way to say it without it going sideways. The Warm Edge is four weeks to learn how to say the hard thing — with full heart, no armour, and without losing the person. Women leave with a breakthrough in the conversation.
Something is stuck or blocked — in your body, your relationships, the gap between where you are and where you want to be. Private sessions go directly to the root. To what's been held. To the woman underneath the performance. Women arrive blocked. They leave having moved what other work couldn't reach — and re-membering her.
Private Sessions with Chen
Re-Member Her is 8 days to come back to her. A small group of women who carry exactly what you carry — the same exhaustion, the same feeling that something essential has gone missing, the desire to come back to the feminine. Chen is with you fully, working with your body, your patterns, and the parts of you that want to be awakened. You don't learn about her. You meet her.
