Salva Lux is founded by Ana Rivas, a certified relationship and holistic coach with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. Her work is informed by both academic understanding and years of personal exploration across a range of therapeutic approaches, spiritual practices, and counseling modalities.

Having lived in Costa Rica and El Salvador, Ana has experienced what it means to live with an appreciation of    simplicity and in a closer relationship with nature. At the same time, she has witnessed firsthand the complex    realities and challenges many individuals navigate in all walks of life—experiences that have deepened her            sensitivity, humility, and respect for resilience in all its forms. 

These lived experiences shape the way Ana approaches coaching: with presence, cultural awareness, and an     emphasis on dignity, agency, and emotional safety. Rather than offering prescriptive solutions, she creates a           supportive space for reflection, integration, and self-trust—honoring both the inner and outer contexts that          influence growth.

When she’s not working with clients, you’ll likely find Ana dancing or teaching Latin dances like salsa, exploring nature, or deep in a psychology book or podcast. These moments of movement, curiosity, and reflection are a big part of what keeps her grounded—and continually inspired by the human experience.
