Miguel Ibarra

Miguel Ibarra was born in the mid-1960s in the iconic neighborhood of Polanco, Mexico City. He pursued higher education in Vancouver, BC, where he studied Philosophy and Chemistry, before completing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science in Mexico. He has spent the majority of his professional life as a freelance information technology specialist, while maintaining a deep personal interest in history, philosophy, and the film arts.

A firm believer in personal commitment and open communication, Miguel has embraced a life guided by his convictions — supporting four stepchildren across two long-term partnerships built on those same values.

Over the past decade, Miguel has developed a focused interest in sacred geometry and alternative healing solutions, particularly in the application of electromagnetic frequencies and photon biomodulation therapies. He is committed to contributing to the responsible dissemination and proper use of these modalities as viable alternatives in health and wellness.

Miguel relocated from Mexico City to Tulum, driven by the conviction that living in close proximity to the natural elements is the path back to balance in both mind and body.

"I'm a very analytical person. When Strategic Alignment came my way I was very skeptical, as usual. After significant contemplation I could only come up with one conclusion — I had to become a Member."

— Miguel Ibarra
