LET ME TAKE THE TIME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF: A bit of my story…

I grew up in Ibiza, which deeply shaped who I am. Eventhough that, my parents weren’t party people or hippies — they were more intellectual, reflective people who loved to sit around the table discussing ideas, or spend Sunday mornings listening to opera, classical music, or jazz.

They (especially my mum), always included my sister and me in their conversations about history, a bit of politics, society, sustainability, biology, and natural medicine . Understanding the human body, psychological behavior, and people’s emotions was always a big topic.

As a child, I kept a diary where I would analyze my inner world. I wrote down my doubts, questions, and reflections about what was happening inside me and how I felt in different situations, as well as how others were behaving. It was, without knowing it, my first practice in emotional awareness.

My mum eventually studied psychology and spent endless hours in her studio after work preparing for exams. She would ask me to listen to her answers to see if they made sense, and she often shared research or facts she found interesting.

My parents, like most people, carried a good amount of trauma. My dad was very neglected as a child and grew up mostly alone in boarding schools, often separated from his siblings for long periods. My mum grew up in a home marked by constant violence from her father towards her mother. Her sensitivity and high capacities were never really atended to, so she grew up very intelligent — but with difficulties in social and emotional regulation.

All of this meant that my sister and I were raised in a beautiful environment, with more financial stability than many of our friends, yet at the same time, we had to cope with my father’s emotional unavailability, my mum’s unstable temper, and my great-grandmother’s occasional paranoid episodes that often escalated into big arguments with my mum.

As the youngest in the house, I learned to retreat into my own world. Nature and my cats became my biggest companions. I also became very skilled at reading other people’s emotions to avoid conflict, to know how to please and appease, and be the emotional translation! I believe I've always been sensitive and empathetic — partly by nature and partly because I had to be.

So it’s no surprise that I developed a deep curiosity about human beings: understanding others, noticing patterns, trying to make sense of what was happening inside all of us.

When I talk about my psychology degree or the trainings I’ve done, I often feel they don’t reflect the true depth of my understanding. My “education” didn’t happen only in classrooms. It wasn’t born from research papers, numbers, or statistics. I feel like I started studying psychology long before many others even set foot in university. This shaped my way of understanding human beings. I’ve always loved connecting things, seeing the bigger picture.

After finishing my psychology studies in 2004 (and getting quite disappointed because of talking more about lab rats than human beings), I began my Gestalt Therapy training. This humanistic, experiential approach to psychology finally gave me what I felt I was missing: a real, embodied way of understanding emotions. It was intense and deeply emotional. I don’t think I’ve ever cried as much as I did in those four years! But it transformed me. I learned about internal parts, shadow work, inner child, embodiment, emotional awareness, and how to listen to my intuition and sensations as a therapist, while becoming even more attuned to others.

Around the same time, I trained in NLP, which gave me structure, practical tools, and a deeper understanding of rapport, communication, inquiry, and listening — tools I still use today.

I did all my training in Barcelona, since Ibiza didn’t offer a psychology degree, and that opened the door to incredible workshops and modalities — dance therapy, improvisational theatre, meditation, and more.

Returning to the island and through my travels in Asia, I dove even deeper into personal and spiritual development. Curious by nature and wanting to better understand myself and my clients, I explored family constellations, voice therapy, many forms of dance, massage, shamanic work (with and without plant medicine), energy practices, meditation, mindfulness, and yoga.

My parents eventually owned an organic health food store where I worked part-time, sometimes even running the business myself for three years. With all that comes from running a business and managing a team. This also strengthened my interest in health, nutrition, and physiology, and brought me into contact with many therapists and wellbeing practitioners — many of whom became friends.

After closing that chapter (and taking a break from therapeutic work), I began working for luxury yoga retreats. I managed a beautiful villa; and then joined the therapeutic team offering sessions, walks, meditations, and arrival interviews to design wellness programs for the guests.

In the last 8 years, I’ve focused fully on my private practice, deepening my studies in neuroscience, somatics, trauma, and the essential role of compassion and integration in creating safety and wholeness. This has shaped an entirely different way of working.

All of this is combination of more than 10 years experience as a therapist, plus all my professional and personal journey, that has shapen the way in which now I accompany people on their journeys, is what I want to share with others who do a similar work.

This whole journey (which can’t be captured simply by listing my trainings) gives me a broad, integrated understanding of how human beings support one another. My mix of formal and informal training, of scientific and spiritual, rational and embodied approaches, helps me welcome and understand many different paths of healing.

Human interactions can be so rewarding, yet challenging, and the more we are aware— of ourselves, of others, and of the dynamics between us — the healthier and more transformative our relationships become.

Because like me, many people working with others gather experiences, trainings, and tools — yet still feel unsure, overwhelmed, doubting their capacities, or feeling like impostors.

I want to support individuals on their journey, as well as professionals helping others, to live a more whole and fulfilling life.
