SERVING WOMEN WHO HAVE ENDURED ABUSE
A colleague Roxana Orellana, a psychologist, invited me to collaborate at Sendas Centro de Vida (Pathways Life Center). Working alongside the in-house psychologist, we supported women striving to break free from cycles of abuse.
Abuse often starts in childhood—whether physical, sexual, or emotional—and can persist into adulthood, impacting individuals of all ages. Healing and recognizing self-worth are crucial in breaking these patterns, not only for the individual but for future generations as well.
Through psychological therapy, somatic experiencing workshops, and BodyTalk sessions, these women healed more quickly and holistically. They confronted trauma, injuries, belief systems, and illnesses, finding both prevention and recovery on their journeys.
Witnessing their transformations was truly inspiring. Watching women rediscover self-love, experience freedom, and realize, “I did not do anything wrong,” was incredibly moving.
One unforgettable moment was when a woman shared, “I’ve never felt beautiful. Now, I see beauty and strength in myself—inside and out.” Moments like these are priceless.
Although this project is no longer under the name SENDAS, through BodyTalk, I continue to offer holistic healing to women and others in need twice a month on Sundays, as part of my community service, without any fee expected.

A Sweet Life: Supporting Children with Diabetes in El Salvador
In partnership with the Asociación Salvadoreña de Diabéticos (ASADI) and led by Dr. Cerritos, we have worked since 2004 with Fundación Manos Del Sur to bring health, happiness, and empowerment to children with diabetes born into poverty in El Salvador.
The project, now complete, has helped raise awareness and provide vital medical education and treatment. Diabetes is one of the most underserved health concerns, with children often facing severe consequences like amputations, kidney failure, blindness, and heart failure if untreated.
By funding the purchase of insulin, medications, and medical supplies, we’ve supported both children and their families through essential education provided by ASADI.
This project has involved a compassionate team of local and international donors, volunteer doctors, educators, and the families of the children. Today, the children in the program have grown and are now taking care of their health.
