About Geoffrey
In this life, my story began in Mexico City, Mexico where I was born into a family rich in culture, experience, and tradition.
Through my Maternal Lineage, I was introduced to the traditional, Chinese culture of my Abuelito and the colorful, Mexican culture of my Abuelita: I can remember statues of Daoist deities sitting amidst a backdrop of indigenous, Aztec artisanry throughout each room, the rhythmic chanting of tamal vendors calling from open windows, and the delicate brush strokes of Tang Dynasty poetry staring down from the walls of our great home.
Through my paternal lineage, I was introduced to the fantastical tales this world has to offer - thanks to the stories shared by my Grandma and Grandpa in faraway places: stories of lions and giraffes dancing amidst the Serengeti, dining with leaders of the old and new world, and soaring beside Halley’s Comet. (Think Big Fish meets Secondhand Lions!) But, it was also through them that I was introduced to the world of New Age Spirituality/Philosophy and the belief in a Soul Family, or the idea that we choose to travel with the same souls through various incarnations.
Throughout childhood and early adolescence, I attended various Catholic preparatory schools, following our move in 1998 to the Dallas-Fort Worth Area in Texas. There, I cultivated an intimate relationship with Theology as a core subject - paired with stories of Edgar Cayce, Atlantis, and past-life memories told by my Grandma and Grandpa, and the mysticism of Ancient China and Ancient Mexico told by my Abuelito. I embarked on a mission to assemble my own beliefs and sense of identity outside of Catholicism.
I began to pursue a more holistic and dialectical approach to my own spirituality.
Following 2 years at the University of North Texas in Denton and marriage to John in 2018, my passion for language and culture led us into 6 years with the United States Air Force wherein I was trained in Mandarin Chinese at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center in Monterey, California as a Cryptologic Language Analyst and later graduated with an Associate of Arts and Bachelor of Arts in Chinese-Mandarin and Associate of Applied Science in Intelligence Studies and Technology.
For a season, it seemed destined that I would pursue a career in the military until retirement: I had survived one of the most difficult academic environments in the military and graduated with honors, climbed through the ranks, and experienced much success in spite of the career challenges. However, amidst the chaos of the pandemic, I contracted a severe infection as a result of being overprescribed a medication, and it became obvious that this dream had been a catalyst for an awakening - or rather, a remembering.
Through 4 years of treatment of various comorbid chronic and autoimmune diagnoses, John and I shifted and began to create the life we are now living with The Well-Worn Soul: one which is radically intentional and naturally intuitive.
Today, The Well-Worn Soul is not just a business but a culmination of our life's rich tapestry - interwoven with diverse cultural heritage, spiritual exploration, and personal growth.
As the Experience Curator at The Well-Worn Soul, I am devoted to creating spaces where others are invited to remember, reclaim, and reconnect with the sacred truth of who they are - and who they are not - walking in rhythm with their own healing and wholeness.
Welcome, Well-Worn Soul.
