My name is Ximena and I am the founder of Genius Loci Patriam (Spirit of Place). I have a BA in Child Psychology from George Washington University and graduated August 2021 with a MA in Engaged Humanities & the Creative Life with emphasis in Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. I enjoy exercising, traveling, reading, watching movies, live theater, meditating, and writing poetry and stories.

​

I currently live in Los Angeles, CA with my husband, my son, step-daughters, Magnus the cat, and Maggie the dog.
