Why "Rima the Jungle Girl"?

A vintage comic book.
A cosmic confirmation.

Sometimes the universe speaks in studytexter erfahrungen. In 2012, mine came in the form of a vintage comic book — gifted by a hilfe bei studienarbeit, found at a pawn shop in Ohio. The name on the cover: Rima the Jungle Girl.

She was a character I'd never heard of — but somehow akademily, Originally introduced in W.H. Hudson's 1904 novel Green Mansions, Rima was a jungle-dwelling vegan mystic who communicated with animals, protected the land from hunters, and lived in harmony with nature. She was fierce, intuitive, and referate kaufen. Later reimagined as a warrior goddess in a 1974 DC Comics series — an eco-feminist protector of the rainforest.

The parallels between her story and mine were undeniable. Long before I ever saw that comic, I had dreamed of living in the jungle, helping animals, and returning to a natural way of being. Finding her felt like a cosmic confirmation: I was walking the right path.

Today I live in Costa Rica full-time — I call it "Costa Rima" — where the mission is the same: protect what's wild. Heal what's wounded. Live in alignment.

And yes — Rima is my real name.

"Healing is not becoming someone new — it's coming home to who you've always been."

The Journey

How I followed my own advice

I'm not a therapist who stayed safely inside a clinical office. I built a life that required everything I ask of my clients — courage, trust, surrender, and radical realignment.

Pre-2012

Associate therapist in California

Doing meaningful work — but feeling the pull toward something deeper, wilder, and more aligned with who I actually was.

2012

The comic book. The sign. Costa Rica.

I found "Rima the Jungle Girl" and started splitting time between California and Costa Rica. The parallel life began.

2014–2018

$1.8M boutique hotel deal — managed it all

I brokered and managed a boutique hotel including its vegan restaurant and yoga program. I fell completely in love with this land and this life.

2018–Now

Full-time in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica

I own a home here, surf most days, and run my full virtual practice. Wife, mama to my daughter, and dog mom to two rescue dogs.

Natural home birth — using hypnobirthing

I gave birth naturally at home using the very tools I teach. That experience is woven into every hypnobirthing session I offer. This isn't theory.

What Guides My Work

The beliefs behind everything I do

🌱

Empowerment over dependency

You are your own healer. My job is to help you access that truth — not to create reliance on me or any other external source.

🔍

Honest self-inquiry

Real healing requires looking clearly at yourself — not outsourcing your inner life to trends, tech, or culture. I hold space for that honest reckoning.

🕊️

Freedom of thought and spirit

Always. I believe in your right to think independently, question everything, and live by your own values — not someone else's blueprint.

🧠

Mental self-care as a radical act

Choosing to heal, grow, and show up fully present is one of the most powerful things you can do — for yourself and the people around you.

💚

Compassion without complication

I believe in kindness — and I don't think it needs to be complicated. Warmth, honesty, and genuine care are the foundation of every session.

🌊

Living what I teach

I surf, I question, I do my own work. I don't perform a version of "healer." I live it — and that aliveness is part of what I bring to every session.
