Xiomara Gallego-Bernard is a published author born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, where she spent her formative years. Enduring open heart surgery at just one-year-old due to a congenital heart condition shaped her perspective on life, instilling in her a deep appreciation for every moment and a commitment to purpose-driven living.

The inspiration behind her new children’s book, “Tomás Returns to School”, stems from Xiomara’s journey supporting her Highly Sensitive child. She began writing it after recognizing a gap in literature addressing coping mechanisms for kids facing situational triggers.

Xiomara discovered her sensitivity during this creative process, reflecting on childhood experiences where such strategies would have been invaluable.

Her writing serves as a conduit for sharing practical knowledge, acquired through lived experiences, with others. She envisions her stories as effective means to promote a love for reading and nurture values of acceptance, empathy, and kindness.

Outside of writing, Xiomara Gallego-Bernard dedicates herself to her wellness journey and empowering others to lead healthier lives. She cherishes moments spent at home with her husband and three sons.
