I am Olga Restrepo Botero, founder of Sendero Mindful...

I was born in Medellín, Colombia, a green city surrounded by mountains and trees. Some of my fondest childhood memories are of long walks by waterfalls and through tropical forests, where my connection with nature began. Its sounds, its perfection, moved me, giving me the strength to flow and feel safe by trusting the abundant beauty surrounding me.

My academic background is in business and consulting; I studied advertising and earned an MBA in management. Throughout my career, I have taught in small businesses, multinationals, and postgraduate programs. Since the birth of my daughter, I have focused on studying and working in the areas of introspection, awareness, and well-being. Currently, I am a writer and meditation teacher for individuals, groups, and companies through Sendero Mindful.

I have been deeply committed to teaching as a process of reciprocal learning.
