Our Story
A Mindfulness Space was created by a psychiatrist, mindfulness teacher, and yoga instructor from Puerto Rico with over 10 years of experience in mental health care. Rooted in the belief that healing should be compassionate, integrative, and accessible, this space brings together evidence-based psychiatry, mindfulness, and movement to support the well-being of both individuals and providers.
Over the years, we’ve seen how powerful it can be to blend science with presence- to sit with discomfort, to breathe through uncertainty, and to create space for growth. These practices are not just tools, they are ways of returning home to ourselves.
This platform was born from a desire to share those tools freely and openly. We also recognize the importance of cultural connection and representation in healing spaces. That’s why part of our mission is to provide mindfulness and mental health resources in Spanish, supporting the Hispanic and Latinx community with language-accessible care.
Whether you’re exploring mindfulness for the first time, looking for trusted guidance on medication, or supporting others in your work as a provider, we’re glad you’re here. May this space offer moments of reflection, stillness, and support along your path.
