In a world that often races toward material success, Anael stands as a luminous reminder that true leadership begins within. A spiritual guide, healer, artist, and founder of LARIMARITA, Anael’s life and work weave together art, consciousness, and divine purpose. Her mission is clear to help others awaken their inner light and reconnect with the soul’s higher truth through beauty, healing, and the sacred energy of the Larimar stone, also
Anael’s journey into spiritual entrepreneurship began not as a business decision, but as a calling a soul remembrance that transcended logic and circumstance. “The first time I connected with Larimar in the Dominican Republic,” she recalls, “I felt an undeniable pull as if I had known this stone and its energy for lifetimes. It was a calling to bring its healing light to the world.”
That moment became the seed for what would later blossom into LARIMARITA, a conscious brand inspired by the sacred stone. Each piece Anael creates carries the raw energy of Larimar, sourced directly from the mines of the Dominican Republic, where she has lived and worked for over five years. Her studio, nestled close to nature and the Caribbean Sea, is more than a workspace it is a sanctuary where energy, artistry, and purpose converge.
Anael’s creations are not merely jewellery they are energetic tools designed to awaken memory, balance, and light within their wearers. “Each piece has its own life, its own soul,” she says. “It becomes a companion in healing a light being that helps and supports the owner on their spiritual journey.”
Through LARIMARITA, Anael merges creativity with consciousness. Her work extends beyond adornments to include rituals, writings, and teachings all grounded in the philosophy that art is a divine act of remembrance. “We all carry light within us,” she explains. “My work is to help others remember that light, to reconnect with their soul origins and divine purpose.”
Building LARIMARITA was not a straightforward path. Like many visionaries, Anael’s journey was filled with uncertainty, courage, and transformation. She started everything from scratch alone, in a foreign land. “When I arrived in the Dominican Republic, I knew no one,” she reflects. “The culture, the people, everything was new to me. But I trusted my intuition that inner guidance that had never failed me.”
Her leadership journey began not in boardrooms, but through personal evolution. As she learned to navigate challenges from production and marketing to building trust with local artisans she realized that leadership is not about control, but about connection. “Leadership, to me, is an act of service,” Anael says. “It’s about listening, trusting, and creating from the heart.”
The Dominican Republic, with its rich history and vibrant culture, became both her muse and her teacher. Living close to the Larimar mine, Anael could feel the deep karmic energies of the land particularly the lingering pain of the country’s history. “The black community here carries ancestral wounds from the time of slavery,” she shares softly. “As a healer, I feel that energy strongly and do my best to bring healing and light to this collective trauma.”
Running a spiritual business in such an environment came with trials. Financial uncertainty, logistical hurdles, and cultural differences tested her resolve. Yet, through each challenge, Anael discovered deeper layers of strength and faith. “There were moments I had to rely completely on intuition even when logic told me otherwise,” she says. “But that’s where miracles happen in the space between trust and surrender.”
As a rare female entrepreneur and a white businesswoman in a remote part of the Caribbean, Anael often found herself navigating unique social dynamics. Many people depended on her, not just for work, but for guidance, stability, and light. “The local system doesn’t function like in other countries,” she explains. “There is little structure, so I had to create that space not through control, but through inspiration.”
This journey became a profound spiritual practice in itself. “I realized leadership isn’t about perfection,” she reflects. “It’s about authenticity, vulnerability, and staying aligned with your higher purpose even when things seem uncertain.”
For Anael, leadership in this new era is evolving beyond hierarchy. “In 2025, leadership is no longer about control or authority it’s about conscious collaboration,” she emphasizes. “People are tired of facades. They crave authenticity, purpose, and emotional intelligence. True leaders today are those who embody their values and lead with compassion.”
She brings this philosophy to her own team at LARIMARITA. “Every person who works with me must feel connected to the mission,” Anael says. “This is not just a job it’s a calling. Even an assistant should feel that her role contributes to something meaningful, something that brings light into the world.”
Her leadership style is rooted in empathy and intuition qualities she believes are essential for the leaders of tomorrow. “It’s not about having all the answers,” she says. “It’s about asking the right questions, listening deeply, and creating space where others can shine.”
Anael’s view of success has transformed over the years. In the beginning, she admits, there was a need to prove herself to show she could build something meaningful. Today, her focus has shifted toward being rather than proving. “I learned that success is not measured by numbers or titles,” she says. “It’s about alignment being true to your purpose, your values, and your soul.”
For her, merging spirituality and business is not a contradiction but a necessity. “We can build businesses that serve light, creativity, and healing,” she says. “It’s about merging intuition with strategy creating from a place of inner peace rather than pressure.”
When asked what advice she would give her younger self, Anael pauses, her tone gentle yet firm. “I would tell her she doesn’t have to prove her worth she already is worthy. But she must heal her unworthiness. Healing is not weakness; it’s power.”
She continues, “Softness is not fragility; it’s the essence of true strength. And intuition that quiet inner voice is her compass. Never doubt it.”
In her teachings, Anael reminds others that self-love is the foundation of all creation. “You can only give what you already hold within,” she says. “Be love first for yourself, then for others. When you honour your light, you help others find theirs.”
What began as a jewellery brand has evolved into a global movement of healing, creativity, and consciousness. Each LARIMARITA creation carries the energy of transformation a bridge between the physical and the spiritual. Anael’s designs have touched people across the world, inspiring them to embrace their authenticity and live with intention.
Her workshops and spiritual mentorship programs further expand this mission helping individuals align their inner world with their outer reality. “When people connect with their higher self,” she explains, “they begin to create lives that reflect peace, beauty, and purpose. That’s what true empowerment looks like.”
As she looks toward the future, Anael envisions a world where spirituality and leadership coexist harmoniously. “We are entering a new paradigm,” she says. “One where leadership is no longer about status, but about service. Where creativity and consciousness guide our businesses, and compassion drives our decisions.”
Her dream for LARIMARITA is to continue expanding globally not just as a brand, but as a movement of awakening. “Every creation I make is a prayer,” she smiles. “A reminder that we are all connected through light. My wish is for every person who wears Larimar to feel that to remember who they are and why they are here.”
Anael’s story is not just about entrepreneurship; it’s about courage, faith, and the power of following one’s inner truth. Through her art and leadership, she embodies a new kind of success one that radiates love, authenticity, and purpose.
Her message to the world is simple yet profound:
“Keep your heart open. Keep believing in miracles. One day, you’ll look back and realize that everything every challenge, every moment was preparing you to shine your light. You were never lost; you were being guided.”
