Media Bio

Brenda Ramos is the ninth child and second daughter of Bienvenida Chaparro and Ezequiel Ramos and the proud single mom of Ezequiel Hermes Ramos. She describes herself as a foul-mouthed, spiritual, sensual, sacred being made of light and stardust (a.k.a. an intricate system of atoms, neurons, and cells) navigating a whole-ass human experience in wildly oppressive systems.

She works as a mindfulness-based mentor & coach, meditation teacher, and movement guide. She uses mindfulness to help people identify where they might be living out of alignment with their values, unlocking their inner wisdom and creating sustainable, dynamic balance in their lives. Her approach is spirit-led, heart-centered, and liberation-focused.

Her clients are the quiet, wild ones, the creatives, weirdos, and activists who live at the edges and the in-betweens. They come to her ready to transform their lives—and the world—with love, compassion, and wild abandon.

As a multicultural and multiracial being, Brenda holds intersectional identities as a queer, cisgendered, first-gen woman of Borikua (Puerto Rican) heritage, deeply connected to her Taíno ancestors. She’s also a sister, titi, friend, lover, student, dark chocolate snob, chocolate chip cookie devourer, random drooler, and unapologetic goofball.

For nearly twenty years, Brenda taught hundreds of people worldwide to express their sexy side through salsa dance. Now, she helps clients reconnect with their unique purpose and rhythm in life. Through meditation, embodiment, movement, reflection and rest, Brenda’s clients learn to trust their inner wisdom, appreciate the unique path that brought them to this moment, and take aligned action toward their dreams.

Currently, Brenda lives on Turtle Island as part of the Borikua diaspora in Hoboken, NJ on Munsee Lenape land. She lives with one of her many brothers, and together they care for their 94-year-old mother. When she’s not caring for her mom she’s chillin with her cats and her son streaming her favorite shows.
