Profile
First career in Human resources. Degree in Economics from the Complutense University in Madrid (Spain) 1994-2000. Specialized in International Development
Second career as a Yoga masage therapist, Coach and Yoga teacher, healer and personal development facilitator, starting in 1998
I have developed my own Intuitive therapies, combining the ancient wisdom of yoga with modern lifestyle-improvement healing techniques, Thai Yoga massage learnt directly from the Master Kam Thye Chow (Lotus Palm), energy work and psychological/spiritual counselling based on an intuitive understanding of the client.
I had been initiated into the knowledge of Ama Deus Energy Healing in 2007 by Beth Cosmos.
As a Therapist and personal development facilitator
My first and most important commitment and goal is to be of help and service to the clients I work with.
I respect the integrity, natural intelligence, and self-knowledge of my clients
I teach personal development workshops and courses
I lead regular meditation classes and occasional chanting and Dance events
I perform and teach Conscious Oriental Dance. Universal dance for the Soul that combines world music from many regions and cultures, and forms a sort of “Love Yoga”, where the body becomes the spiritual path.
