1:1 COACHING

Our work together begins with understanding your story. The culture you grew up in, the family experiences that shaped you, and the meanings behind it all that you have internalized and carry.

Maybe you grew up between cultures, feel disconnected from parts of your heritage, or just still find yourself struggling to confidently claim who you are around others.

You want to feel connected to your roots and confident in who you are, without constantly feeling like an imposter.

Together, we'll explore what shaped your identity, what you want to reconnect with, and what you want to carry forward into the life you're creating.

Because you can honor where you come from while giving yourself permission to become who you want to be.

Through our 1:1 coaching sessions, we'll combine identity exploration, personal development, and practical accountability to help you build a stronger relationship with your culture and yourself.

Our work will focus on:

Cultural Identity & Self Understanding: Exploring your upbringing, family history, and the experiences that shaped how you see yourself, so you can better understand and embrace your identity.

Cultural Reconnection & Language Learning: Finding meaningful ways to reconnect with your roots through language, traditions, cultural education, and everyday practices. Whether you're learning your family's language, exploring your history, or introducing traditions to your children, we'll create realistic goals, build consistent habits, and use accountability to help you follow through.

Confidence & Belonging: Working through cultural insecurity, comparison, and the pressure to prove yourself, so other people's opinions don't get to define who you are.

Breaking Cycles & Becoming: Exploring inherited expectations and family patterns, deciding what you want to carry forward, and building a life that reflects your own values.

This is a dedicated coaching space, not therapy. Together, we'll work toward greater cultural connection, personal confidence, and the goals that matter to you.

Hola, I'm Sarina!

I'm Mexican American, raised by my Chicana mama in the Pacific Northwest and Northern California. I'm a mom of three, a life coach, and a graduate student pursuing my master's in counseling psychology. And after many years, I can proudly say I grew up no sabo.

After losing my dad when I was young, I grew up disconnected from parts of my culture. I've spent much of my adult life reconnecting with those pieces of myself while figuring out what I want to pass down to my own children.

For a long time, I felt like there were parts of my identity I needed to catch up on. Learning Spanish, understanding Mexican history and traditions, and feeling like I needed to know enough to defend my own identity when someone questioned it.

There's a particular kind of frustration that comes with understanding your family's language but struggling to respond. Or trying to learn something about your culture, only to have someone point out what you don't know instead of recognizing that you're making an effort.

Sometimes it feels like you're constantly trying to prove that you belong to something that's already part of who you are by birth but isn't accepted.

That's a big part of why I created The Aligned Mujer.

I've been coaching since 2017, helping people navigate change, achieve goals, reconnect with themselves, and build lives that feel aligned with who they are.

Today, I'm bringing my lived experiences, coaching background, and education in counseling psychology together to help people navigate cultural identity, belonging, and the expectations that have shaped how they see themselves.

Because I believe you deserve to feel confident in who you are and pass that sense of belonging and confidence down to your children.
