Today we’d like to introduce you to Miriam Rose Ramirez and Valerie Valencia.
Miriam Rose and Valerie, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
Our journey together began eight years ago when we serendipitously became best friends. We are Latinas who were raised in Calexico, California- a small border town. We moved to San Diego as soon as we graduated from high school to seek diversity and opportunities of growth. Our first years of college were embedded with fear of following the norm, knowing we had the potential to do more. In the midst of being lost and confused, we experienced toxic relationships that left us wounded. We decided we would no longer play the victim and began soul searching to clear all the baggage we had been carrying within us: mentally, physically, and emotionally. We discovered that our sense of identity had been conditioned by external sources, and no longer felt the need to seek validation from others. We began to experience deep transformation through the power of spirituality and self-care, which in turn sparked our passion for holistic health and wellness. We know that our life purpose (dharma) is to help others reawaken the healing power within them, by sharing the tools that have helped us blossom and bloom. We are here to plant seeds of consciousness into fertile minds that are willing to grow, and invite you to join us on this path where we heal ourselves to heal the world. We want to share our personal story to let you know you are not alone, and we are here to help.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
Our healing journey was enabled by our fair share of heartbreak, loss, and trauma, which manifested into physical ailments such as nutritional deficiencies, poor digestion, hormonal imbalance, inflammation, and energetic blockages. We have chosen to make our “mess” our message by being raw and vulnerable with the challenges we’ve overcome. We want to help others realize that ultimately our challenges are what redirect us and strengthen us. We are in the beginning stages of building our business, but we plan to face any obstacles that come our way with love, awareness, and resilience.
Please tell us about Innerbloom.
Innerbloom fuses ancient and modern healing modalities. We are living proof that we all have the ability to heal through the power of the mind, body and spirit connection. We specialize in yoga, meditation, reiki, sound healing, holistic health coaching, environmentalism and more! We will be offering courses, workshops, community events, retreats, and ceremonies both in person and online. We will also be using social media and our website as a platform to share free content. Our intention is to share the knowledge we have gained through years of healing our imbalances so that you won’t have to go through the hurdles of trying to find all the answers on your own. What sets us apart is our sense of humor and playfulness. We understand our work is serious, but we also want to make learning a fun and relatable experience for all. Our mission is to guide others through their own healing process to help them realize that the life they dream for is within reach! It all begins from within.
If you had to go back in time and start over, would you have done anything differently?
We believe in divine timing, and acknowledge that we had to go through a multitude of phases, cycles, and rhythms in order to be here, in this present moment. Everything has fallen into place for us to be able to create together and we wouldn’t have it any other way! Innerbloom started out as an idea that has now come into fruition. We are ready to put in the work and share our gifts with the world.
