In 2007, she graduated with a bachelor’s in Psychology from Florida International University and shortly after began her own transformational path as she began her first semester at the University of Central Florida’s counseling education program. This is when she discovered her love and passion for mindfulness as a tool to help others heal as the tool rewires the brain and reboots the emotional body. Her passion and extensive research on the topic led to a published scientific contribution with the American Counseling Association’s Online Vista Journal titled ” Loving Kindness Meditation and Couples Therapy: Healing After an Infidelity”. Presently, Yuleisy contributes articles to magazines through the community on topics such as mental health and mindfulness. Yuleisy’s other passion, psychedelic medicine, surfaced in 2018 when her own healing took place with the powerful and magical medicine. She now dedicates herself to helping others heal with psychedelic medicine and dedicates herself to bringing knowledge of this beautiful medicine to anyone who seeks healing. As a therapist who is fully committed to helping our clients live a fuller and more peaceful life, she is grateful and humbled to be a part of her client’s healing journey.
