I speak Spanish as well as English. I have traveled all over the world staying in Airbnb's and an endless variety of temporary homes because of this experience I know what guests need for a restful and impactful vacation. I believe in practicing intentional tourism and sustainable practices. I strive to implement promote and educate about these practices in my apartments in Torrey. I have hosted vacation rental homes on and off since 2017. I bought this property in May 2021. I am excited about the sustainable updates and eco conscious improvements I will continue to bring to this property. This is my life's work in progress and I am excited to share it with you.
I live on the property with my shy dog Penny. My passions are building and supporting community, connecting with land; hiking, canyoneering and biking. I work as a Shamanic healer; hosting healing retreats and events at Home in the Heart of Utah. I am available for shamanic healing sessions and facilitating nature based immersions. Please contact me if you are interested in booking a session or hosting an event or retreat of your own.
Land Acknowledgment
Home in the Heart of Utah land has been the home to many people. I am a direct descendent of Utah Pioneers as well as an immigrants and I am grateful for the privilege of being raised in this region. During that time I rarely heard the traditional names of territories and peoples. Indigenous people and their struggles were talked about as past tense.
I honor and acknowledge that we preside on the traditional stolen land of the Hisatsinom (Hopi) Nuu-agha-tuvu-pu (Ute) Nuwuvi (Southern Paiute) peoples past and present. The Wee-noonts, the People Who Lived the Old Ways. We honor with gratitude the land itself and the people who have stewarded it throughout generations.
Let this acknowledgement serve as a reminder of our ongoing efforts to recognize, honor, reconcile, and partner with the people whose land and water we benefit and connect with daily.

In the backyard we offer bocce ball, corn hole, badminton and other fun lawn games that you can find in the community game room that has a pool table, ping pong table and darts.

The large backyard with a BBQ and plenty of places to relax and hang out in the shade of the apple trees. Our neighbors have various cute livestock to watch and we have free range chickens plucking around the yard.

Home in the Heart of Utah sits in the HEART of Torrey Utah, just 10 minutes from Capitol Reef National Park. Enjoy the amenities of urban living with multiple coffee shops, restaurants, hiking and biking trails right out the front door. You will find this to be the perfect place to stay while exploring aspects of intentional travel. Contribute to the local sustainable tourism by visiting the Wild Rabbit Cafe, buy coffee from Shooke Coffee Roasters and stop for ice cream at Color Ridge Creamery and Farm literally right next door.
The heart of Utah boasts exceptional landscapes that vary from expansive red rock deserts to high altitude forests. Our neighbors are not just the people next door but the white rock people of Capitol Reef, the Pando tree people of Fish Lake. We honor and protect the vast canyon people of Grand Staircase National Monument and the lake people who live on Boulder Mountain. This is our home and we welcome your love and respect to your home and come find out (quoting Mister Rogers) 'Who are the people in your neighborhood?"
