Paloma was born in Seattle and grew up on nearby Bainbridge Island. She has always been passionate about the healthcare field, which led her to pursue her undergraduate degree in pre-nursing at Washington State University. Growing up, she had several family members experience chronic pain and illness, and she saw firsthand how much of a beneficial and life-changing impact that holistic medicine made upon them, and this sparked an early interest in natural medicine and healing from within. She is currently considering an additional degree in nursing or radiology to further her skills in helping others.

In her free time, she loves hiking, going to the gym, spending time with her boyfriend, and their two pet. She also loves painting and reading.
