The Wounded Healer’s Table
This space is my open notebook: stories, reflections, truths I’ve lived. Not advice, not perfection. Just life, con ají.
Food, culture, motherhood, identity
From the wonders and mountains in Peru to the wonders and mountains in Northern Arizona
“After 26 years in Peru and 14 in Flagstaff, my journey has taken me across continents, meeting incredible people, forging unbreakable friendships, and chasing lifelong dreams, with three children on my back and a heart full of stories, I started this blog to share my day to day.”
Medical Professional. Immigrant. Mother. Fighter. Sin filtros.

A Recipe for Midnight Intimacy

Soulful + Reflective (Healing, Identity, Purpose)
A Recipe for Midnight Intimacy
This is where I write about the inner work, grief, growth, and the long road toward becoming whole. As a family nurse practitioner, I’ve seen how healing takes many forms: physical, emotional, ancestral. Here, I explore what it means to be both caregiver and care-seeker. I ask hard questions: Who am I now? What parts of me survived? What still needs tending?
Bold + Humorous + Real (Unfiltered Life)
A Recipe for Midnight Intimacy
No sugar-coating. No fake smiles. Just life raw and spicy. Here, I speak candidly about love, loss, burnout, single motherhood, aging joints, and chasing dreams. I blend humor with truth because if I didn’t laugh, I’d cry. This corner of the blog is where I serve truth sin anestesia. Come as you are. Just don’t forget your ají.
Personal + Cultural + Sensory (Food, Stories, Emotions)
I don’t just write about food; I feel through it. The flavor of ají amarillo, the scent of garlic and onions frying in olive oil, these are memories on a plate. Here, I mix Peruvian heritage with my Flagstaff life, infusing each post with bilingual memories, migration tales, motherhood, and sensory nostalgia. This space celebrates the mess and beauty of identity layered, complex, delicious.
Unfiltered, Unmedicated, Unbreakable… Sin Pastillas, Con Ají
