Lorena Castillo Zamora

Lorena Castillo-Zamora was born in Lima, Peru, and has spent more than twenty years working as a physiotherapist. While she has cared for people of all ages, her heart found its true home in geriatrics. Through her work, she has met many older adults from different countries, cultures, and family stories—each one leaving a gentle imprint on her life.

Lorena believes deeply in dignity, health, respect, love, and the strength of family bonds. She has witnessed how illness can change memory and movement, but never the need to feel valued and connected. These experiences inspire her to write stories that help children better understand aging and disease with compassion instead of fear.

At home, Lorena is a proud mother of three beautiful children Christina, Orlando and Gabriela—who continually remind her of the importance of curiosity, honesty, and kindness—and she shares her life with her loving husband, Fredd. Together, they cherish laughter, togetherness, and the simple rituals that hold a family close.

Through her stories, Lorena hopes to gently bridge the space between generations, reminding readers that even when memories fade, love remains.
