hi I’m lorraine! I am Mexican American. Born & raised in South Central Texas. I love my cats Luna & cherry, tarot, astrology, plants, cooking, & collective healing.

In 2016, I had a massive breakdown. I felt so alone, disconnected from myself, engaging in toxic habits, and having horrible flashbacks that made no sense. I realized, there must be something more beyond this pain because my life at that point wasn’t it. Read more about my healing journey so far here.

In 2017, I moved to California. I thought I was starting with a fresh slate and truly pursuing my dreams. But what I didn’t realize was that the traumatic memories and oppressive beliefs I operated within were following me too. It took me two more years to finally realize my career in the fashion industry was leaving me so empty. I started going to therapy and remembering the deep wounds from childhood + a past abusive relationship still affecting me years later. My spiritual journey and studies in esoteric, witchcraft, tarot, and astrology expanded as my past self was finally shedding the pain. Reconnecting with my Mexican ancestry, learning about colonization, and intergenerational trauma changed so much about how I viewed my past, present, and future. I was becoming more forgiving of myself and connecting the dots allowed me to actually enjoy my life and live with intention. My intuition was becoming more prominent too. That lost relationship was being repaired.

In January of 2020, I became a Certified Life Coach. Shortly after the pandemic hit the U.S. in March, I launched In Bloom and started incorporating tarot readings with life coaching in my sessions.

I'm passionate about helping folks listen to their intuitive voice again and remember self-acceptance. Because it’s already there deep within. Oppressive systems just work really hard to convince us otherwise.

At the end of my sessions, my clients usually say something like, “I feel so deeply that I already knew these messages, but I just needed help seeing them again.” Exactly! Sometimes our human conditioning, thoughts, traumas, other people, our work, society, etc. lead us away from our aligned souls, our ancestors, our guides, our intuition, our peace. It is valid if that disconnection kept you safe for a while. It doesn’t mean your connection is completely lost. Your intuition is safe.

In my sessions, you will receive sacred messages from the universe through tarot, encouraging coaching questions from me, and a dash of mindfulness. Let’s radically restore the connection with self and your spiritual gifts!

While in quarantine of 2020, I worked with candle magick to manifest and provide light during some deep shadow work. I took it to the next level when I began creating my own hand-poured candles for my own rituals and gifts for friends. In February of 2021, I launched my first candle collection! And I haven’t stopped since then. All my collections are made in very small batches in limited quantities to maintain the sacredness of the candles. Ingredients used are vegan, cruelty-free, & free of harmful toxins. Made in my home in LA, lots of love, intention, and magick go into every single one! Work with them to set intentions or to uplift the energy in your space.
