In 2005, I completed a-year-long Chiromassage course. Soon after, I lead workshops to pass on what I'd learned and opened a private practice.
I have always felt a fascination for energy bodywork but when I attended a Shiatsu course in London, I realized how effective it can be and I immediately incorporated what I'd learned into my practice. Today, I continue to explore and learn in this area.
In 2009, I engaged in a 4-year-long course in Voice Dialogue, a simple yet powerful tool for transformation and personal development based on the Psychology of Selves.
In 2014, I trained as a Pregnancy Yoga Teacher with , where I learned a gentle yet powerful approach to exercise that works with the breath and with gravity, with natural movement and attention to the structure and state of the body. This approach is based in Scaravelli Yoga and Active Birth.
I continue to deepen my practice of yoga each and every day. And presently, I have started a 4 year-long Couch Yoga course at the Shri Vivek yoga center in Barcelona, under the teachings of yogi Jivan Vismai, who transmits the wisdom of this ancient science from his self-realized teacher Shri Guruji Swami Vivekananda (Nirpeksha Sannyas Ashram - Khadana, India).
I also learned about Breastfeeding with Indra Lopez-Bassols, a La Leche League GB leader (LLL), Breastfeeding Counsellor and an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). I learned about skin-to-skin contact, position and attachment, physiology of lactation, common breastfeeding problems, communication skills to support breastfeeding dyads and infant cues and behaviours.
