COACH + MAKEUP ARTIST + SPEAKER

A mother, Latina, former public figure, entrepreneur, and identity coach who has lived a life guided by my faith. From a young age, I was taught to stand in my own power which led me to take risks and live life fully.

My career began in entertainment and eventually led me to be a 3-season cast member of the Real L Word. The show provided me the opportunity to see the impact being vulnerable and open about one’s sexuality could have on others. Taken aback by the response, I began seeing my life’s purpose become much clearer and has since dedicated myself to creating safe spaces for those to discover their inner and outer beauty.

ROMI MARIE

Hi, I'm Romi!

Through my history as a public figure, I have openly shared my own identity and sexuality over the years which has given me a platform to assist others. I feel very fortunate to help individuals struggling with their sexual identities as well as families of queer youth navigate the path to understanding, acceptance, and unconditional love. Together, we create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your identity, embrace your true authentic self, and foster stronger connections with your loved ones. Through personalized coaching and guidance, I will give you tools to navigate the complexities of sexual orientation and self identity with confidence and resilience. 

Wherever you are on your journey of faith, I am willing and able to initiate discussions.

IDENTITY COACH

BONITA BRIDES + FREELANCE

During the early 2000’s, I graduated from MUD makeup school in Burbank, California. I have since worked for Mac Cosmetics, Benefit, and Kitson, all while practicing beauty makeup for various projects such as editorial photography, runway, television, film, and personal styling. For the past 5 years, I have been employed by Bonita Brides in Austin, Texas and I am proud to be a member of a strong, Latina-owned makeup team, where we provide services to numerous weddings and events, all while catering to individuals of all ethnicities. Makeup has always been a passion of mine, as it allows people to creatively reinvent and express themselves in an enjoyable way.

I am currently open for freelance makeup work.

THE REEL ROMI

I am The Reel Romi, and I sit down to have genuine, unfiltered conversations with my friends, family, and new acquaintances about topics that intrigue me. As an Identity + Nutrition Coach, a cohost of the podcast The EFF IT Madres, and a mother, I believe in creating spaces where various opinions, perspectives, and life experiences are welcomed and respected, as we are all navigating this human journey together. A space where diverse opinions, views, and life experiences can be shared comfortably and openly.

“We are more powerful than we know. What we think and believe impacts our world.”

    B | Australia

  • "I can’t wait for my next session with Romi. Her compassion & enthusiasm is infectious, and she’s able to create a welcoming, fun & honestly sacred environment where you can step back from your life before stepping boldly back in. You get the sense that because she’s either been where you are or can empathically relate, you can be radically honest with her, and thus yourself. Working with Romi is both a huge relief & the beginning of a new relationship with yourself — with the identities that are no longer serving you & the ones you are choosing to embrace.”
