Origins & qualifications

Where she comes from — and what she brings.

Angela is originally from Colombia, South America, and has lived in the U.S. since 1991. She’s fluent in English and Spanish, which lets her teach, write, and connect with people in both languages.

She is a Reiki Master Teacher and Ordained Minister. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s in Clinical Social Work. She is a Clinical Social Work Supervisor in the state of Maryland, with certifications in Energy Healing, Happiness education, Anger Management, DBT, and Integrative Nutrition for Mental Health.

She has practiced Reiki and energy healing since 2002. Over years of working with people from diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds, she noticed something: no matter why someone showed up, most of them wanted the same thing — a better human experience.

How ATICA began

All-There-Is Conscious Awareness.

AAwareness

Through her own informal research — noticing what actually helped people grow — Angela developed a way of using familiar concepts differently. She called it ATICA: All-There-Is Conscious Awareness. Those principles became the foundation for helping people transform how they see themselves and their lives.

Using ATICA, she created the 7 to 5 Game — geared toward helping young people connect to their potential while taking real action to change their lives. Happyish Humans is where that work lives as education: awareness, choice, and intentional action, with humor instead of lectures.

At her core, Angela is a teacher who loves sharing what she knows. Her work with readers, learners, and new clinicians is always about supporting and elevating people toward growth and success.

Methodology & style

Direct. Gentle. A little funny. Deeply spiritual.

Angela draws on professional expertise, life experience, intuition, and her higher self to help people identify where change is needed, embrace their strengths, and open their minds so they can take intentional action toward a better life.

As an author, she writes as if she’s having a conversation with you — making complex concepts and theories easy and fun. Her style is direct and gentle, with a sense of humor and spirituality woven through.

She helps people break free from old ways of thinking, try on new perspectives, and create positive change. Through her own journey she learned that perspective shapes reality — and she’s found ways to help others shift mindset and open up to new possibilities.

One of her strengths is creating a safe, non-judgmental space to explore the inner world. Change can be hard, so she approaches educational work with empathy — using mindfulness, positive psychology, affirmations, neurobiology, philosophy, subconscious work, and ideas inspired by Viktor Frankl’s logotherapy, among other tools under her scope of practice.

She believes action is the catalyst for change. A shift in perspective matters most when it’s paired with tangible steps — achievable goals, self-care routines, and accountability in personal, professional, and spiritual life.

How she shows up

Author. Educator. Fellow messy human.

Author

Writer of 7 to 5 — a conversation on the page that turns complex ideas into a playful path through the markers that keep us stuck.

Educator

She teaches practical psychology in plain language — tools you can try today, without needing to be “fixed.” Happyish Humans is educational only.

Fellow human

Progress over perfection. Feelings are information, not instructions. You are not powerless.

What she believes

Stop chasing perfect. Start reconnecting.

The biggest success Angela’s readers and learners report is learning to challenge old ways of thinking — and understanding that life-changing events aren’t always bad, even when they’re unpleasant. Life will never be perfect. So we stop chasing happiness and start reconnecting to our spiritual selves.

Now is the time to focus on growth and take intentional actions toward the life you want. If you don’t know how, she’s here to walk with you — through the book, the library, and educational sessions.

Like her dad used to say: “Work hard to become the person you were always meant to be.”
