My name Alvina means many things. It comes from the Latin language meaning “Elf Friend”.
Also “White Lotus Flower”
In India an alvina is a lute, like a guitar.
Alvina can mean “of the vine” like grapes that make fine wine.
I was named after my grandmother since I was the firstborn of an only child Italian man.
It wasn’t an easy name to have growing up in rural Connecticut.
I also inherited her nickname which I no longer use once I left home at 16.
I like that the name has a certain flavor or essence that relates to lightness, music, wine, beauty, friendship.
My father looked at me once and he said, “You are an Alvina!”
I suit the name.
My life work has been infused with the energy of healing myself and others – Light comes through me! And, I use music in my work, I make my own oils and I provide a beautiful environment, considering everyone in the highest personal regard (as Dr Fritz Smith conveyed to me through our Zero Balancing Work) and I cultivate lasting connections.
Gratitude to my family, my teachers and to myself!!!
