Daniela Ruiz

Hello Everyone! My name is Daniela Ruiz and I am absolutely obsessed with helping others. My sense of nurturing started as a child, from trying to save injured butterflies (as hopeless as it was)to secretly housing chickens inside my bedroom because I couldn’t bare see them out in stormy weather. My need to help later shifted towards people and here I am, in love with the trade and consumed by the fact that we CAN heal one another!  What an honor to be a part of the AMTA team!
