WHO I AM

My Story - Full Version 

I was born in San Salvador in 1990 during the civil war. I had meningitis when I was 2 years old and was blessed to have survived it. Every 2-4 years I moved countries with my family, because my dad worked for the United Nations (UN). I had the luck to live, travel and discover the most amazing places this world can offer, and was fortunate to have met some incredible people along the way.

I was diagnosed with Dyslexia at the age of 5 and honestly did not know what to do with that information. I was confused and blown away with the fact that I saw the world differently than other people. I thought, for the longest time, that I was different and that there was something wrong with me. I slowly taught myself ways in which to learn better and disguised as "normal" in order not to get special treatment. School was tough, high school was tougher. University life was great because I had the freedom to choose when and how to study and I was finally comfortable with myself and confident enough to succeed academically.

I suffer from anxiety, whether because I am Cancerian and very intuitive or maybe because of my frenetic childhood around the world. Either way, anxiety has always creeped around me growing up. I had one massive nervous breakdown in 2017 and very mild Post Partum Depression (PPD) when giving birth to my son, but with determination and self help techniques I created for myself, I was able to surpass every obstacle. Anxiety is still lurking around when I am tired or stressed but I am now able to control it and live with it in peace and serenity. This is why I created The Spiritual Guide, because I wanted to teach you natural and easy ways in which to deal with anxiety and mild depression without spending money or taking medication. 

I have always drawn on my diaries or made canvases in order to decorate my house, I even drew all my tattoos in order to be unique. I recently got introduced to virtual drawing because of another huge life transition in my life. We decided, after 9 years living in the UK to move to Portugal, during a pandemic with a toddler. Stress and anxiety go hand in hand here and that is why I decided to start drawing for the both of us. MY drawings are inspirations of my life, they come to me in my dreams and therefore thought to share them in order to inspire and bring colour to both our lives. Drawing soothes me and why not share my art with you in order to support you. My work is for you to do what you want, hang it in your home, gift it to a love one, show it in your work space for others to see or simply purchase some of my other products in order to share with the world the magic of positivity.

I am here as a friend, to help you through your darkest moments, I was where you are and therefore we should not be alone ever. Use my sessions to support you or my art to inspire you, either way use The Spiritual Guide as a safe space for your mind and emotions.

Yours,

Lavinia - The Spiritual Guide
