Maritza Castellon knows that life can change in an instant.

She also knows that healing, growth, and joy are still possible on the other side.

Raised by a strong and loving mother, Maritza learned early what resilience, courage, and unconditional love looked like. Her mother instilled in her a fearless spirit, a positive mindset, and the belief that anything was possible. Whether she was chasing dreams of becoming an actress in high school or finding the courage to live authentically as a proud gay woman, her mother stood beside her with unwavering support and encouragement.

Those lessons became the foundation of the woman Maritza would become.

Throughout her life, Maritza has navigated both extraordinary successes and deeply personal challenges. She has built businesses, served her community, and spent years helping others discover their own potential. Alongside her former wife and business partner, she helped build Todo Frio, a beloved local business that became a staple in the community.

Yet life also brought unexpected challenges.

In 2021, Maritza faced a breast cancer diagnosis. While she is now in remission and grateful for her health, the emotional impact of that journey transformed her perspective on life, relationships, and personal well-being.

Then came one of the most difficult chapters of her life.

In 2025, she experienced the loss of her beloved mother and the end of her marriage in the same year. Two life-altering losses that shook her world and challenged everything she thought she knew about herself, grief, and healing.

But through loss, Maritza discovered something powerful:

Healing does not mean forgetting.
Healing means learning to carry your experiences with grace while continuing to move forward.

Through self-love practices, personal development, manifestation work, coaching, community support, and faith in life's possibilities, she found her way back to herself.

Today, Maritza is passionate about helping others do the same.

For more than nine years, she has coached individuals through life transitions, personal growth, confidence building, relationships, grief, and self-discovery. She is also active in coaching circles and community conversations in Homestead, where she continues to support others on their personal growth journeys.
