My name is Ale. I am half Mexican, half German.

My relationship with water began before I had words for it. Since I was small, every body of water called to me — the sea, lakes, waterfalls, cenotes. The dolphins, whales, turtles, and manta rays of the marine world felt like extensions of my own being. I learned to recognize them as messengers — appearing precisely when they had something to share. I call them the tuners of my soul.

Interspecies communication is the language that goes beyond words. The language in which the wind whispers when we need guidance, and a current of water shelters us to remind us that we are not alone — and that we can trust life.

Since childhood I have been connected with spirituality. From the age of five, my mother brought me to her tarot classes, her astrology congresses, retreats, yoga, the messages of dreams, the wisdom of indigenous elders. Through her, I inherited something I did not need to learn — the innate knowing that we are one with nature. That there is no separation between us, Mother Earth, and the cosmos. As above, so below. As within, so without. From the microcosm to the macrocosm. Life is only a reflection of our inner world.

Water became my teacher, my medium, and my mirror.

We are 70% water. Our waters carry our emotions, our connection to our mothers, our memory of origin. When they are stagnant, we cannot flow — we deny life. When we free our waters and allow them to move again, we honor our existence. And by honoring it, we begin to recognize the meaning of ourselves, our environment, what sustains us, what we share, who we are — our nature, and Mother Earth.

Wataflow became the tool that first allowed me to bring this understanding to others. To bond people with their deepest being, with the origin of life — which begins and ends in the waters of the womb. Since then, my practice has expanded into many forms: Watsu, Janzu, craniosacral in water, Ocean Dance, somatic bodywork, Thai massage, astrology, ceremony, dreamwork. Different doorways. The same water.

My soul’s purpose has become clear through all of it:

To live a truthful path of compassion — allowing our emotions to return to the flow of forgiveness, unconditional love, and harmony.

To clear and care for our waters — within and without — moving what is stagnant back toward its natural state of lightness, transparency, and balance.

To share this by example, in humbleness, congruence, and integrity — as an offering to nature and to the people who are ready to remember.

Forever grateful to the water for all her teachings.
