About the Founders:
Both of the founders live full-time and year-round in Guatemala.

The Integral Heart Family was co-founded by 
Mick Quinn and Debora Prieto after they moved to
Antigua Guatemala in 2009 with their dog, Pancho.
Now they have three more dogs, Zoey, Osa and
Lily, all of whom were rescued from the streets.



As an Irish immigrant who embraced the American Dream, Mick’s life path 
brought him from his native home of Athlone, Ireland, to New York City where
he co-founded several tech-companies, to the publication of a book in 2009
on the future of human potential and eventually to his current work with children
and families from the impoverished villages surrounding the the Spanish Colonial
city of La Antigua Guatemala.

Debora Prieto was born in Spain in 1972. She studied philosophy at
the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. She is also an educator of
mentally handicapped children. She along with her husband are
the co-founders of the Integral Heart Foundation where she, amongst
other tools, uses the Big Mind (Emotions/Shadow) process to help their
students and staff to deal with the reality of their existence here.
  
The Integral Heart Family is a U.S. registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
