Description: The website of La Sarmiento, Dharma Teacher, Retreat/Events Manager, Bodyworker, and Reiki Teacher.
My first name is La. People often think that La is my title. I never liked my formal first name of Marinella.
I was born in 1964 in Manila, The Philippines. My parents and I immigrated to Hawaii when I was 10 months old.
I got a "Needs Improvement" in Show & Tell in kindergarten, was voted "Funniest" and "Friendliest" in 9th grade, and was voted "Most Likely To Succeed" my senior year of high school. I was on the 1981 Oxon Hill Senior High "It's Academic" team. Not bad for an introvert.
