Sinchi Vida is more than a wellness blog; it’s a lifestyle, a community, and a celebration of holistic living. The name itself carries meaning: Sinchi is Quechua for “strong,” and Vida translates to “life” in both Spanish and Portuguese. Together, they embody resilience, vitality, and the essence of living fully.

The Sinchi Vida logo, a spiral shell, represents the constant flow of life: ever-evolving, always present, and endlessly transforming. It reflects our journey and the community we strive to cultivate, a place to belong, explore, and grow.

My Connection to Brazil and Peru
I spent much of my childhood in South America, primarily in Brazil, and traveled between the U.S.A. and Brazil until 2011. I also lived briefly in Peru before settling permanently in the United States. While most of my life has now been spent in the U.S., my heart remains deeply connected to Brazil and Peru. Sinchi Vida is a reflection of these experiences, blending the cultures, traditions, and wellness practices that have shaped me into the person I am today.
