my story
Mariposa (Ana Cristina Alcalde Salas) was born in Chihuahua, México, where she grew up until she was 18 years old. She was born into a Yogi vegetarian family, a place where she was guided to spiritual development as the most important goal in life.
Since she was a child, she had the feeling that there was something else within her, something that desired to be expressed.
She went to New York, where she learned English and became a fashion designer. Beginning what, at that moment, she believed was her calling.
When she realized that she could follow her dreams anywhere, she left the city and started an adventure around the world. Her journey lasted 10 years, where she traveled across 14 different countries in 3 different continents.
In South America, she met the ancestral plants, confirming she is a spiritual being living a human experience.
In 2017, Mariposa obtained a 200 hour yoga certification, and this was the beginning of her becoming a teacher. This led her to discover Tantra and Breathwork studies in Koh Phangan, Thailand.
It was through Breathwork and Tantra that she discovered how to access DMT, or also known as “the spirit molecule”, without using ancestral medicine.
And from that moment, she opened her wings and became free as a butterfly, receiving her spiritual name: Mariposa, Butterfly. She realized all the answers she sought are within. She sparks the remembrance that you are your own greatest teacher, shaman and the perfect marriage between your inner feminine and masculine energies.
Mariposa is the founder of RESPIRA TU AMOR BREATHWORK. She developed this breathwork method, which activates spiritual awakenings, releases past trauma and induces states of blissful euphoria. She now shares ceremonies and teacher training certifications globally integrating Breathwork, Tantric and Yogic philosophy.
Remember, you are your own inner medicine. YOU are the one YOU have been waiting for. Follow your Will.

Brand History
Respira Tu Amor translates to Breathe Your Own Love in Spanish, embodying the essence of our philosophy.
We live in a world where we have been conditioned to seek externally—praying to something outside ourselves, searching for love, validation, and transformation in places far from our own being. But true healing and change begin within.
Respira Tu Amor is more than a practice; it is a way of life. We integrate ancestral wisdom, Eastern philosophies, shamanic traditions, and ancient knowledge to guide you on a journey of inner transformation. Our mission is to remind you that everything you seek is already within you—the wisdom, the healing, and the power to reshape your reality.
We believe that to create true external change, we must first shift our internal landscape. Through breath, movement, and sacred practices, we help you reconnect with your divine essence and heal not only yourself but also the ancestral lineage that shapes your present moment.
This is a journey of remembrance, empowerment, and deep transformation—an invitation to breathe in your own love and reclaim the wholeness that has always been yours.
