After two decades working in the hotel and golf industry, life
demanded a general turn.

My first nearly two decades working experience were in the hotel and golf industry in an international frame. I started my career in Valderrama where I lived exciting experiences during five years as the Ryder Cup 1997. I participated in the implementation of the first adaptive Golf School for young people in La Cañada Golf Course, Guadiaro in 2007 while I was working there as Golf Director. Eight years in charge of the golf segment in hotels Kempinski Estepona and Bad Saarow (Faldo Berlin) two years at Elba Palace Golf in the Canary Islands and two years teaching at Ciomijas Hotel School Junta de Andalucía as a Golf study group menthor.

After the appearance of a primary lymphedema in my left arm, life demanded a general turn.
So the basis of my work, today, is a synthesis fruit of my personal interest in somatic and my vocation to share and teach what I have proven works.

This extensive experience between golf and international clients has always been very enjoyable and enriching.

“Golf is a series of effortless swings.
Golf is a game of consistency, a game of inches and a game of the MIND .”

During the past years I have received specific training of high level in somatic disciplines which is on going with referents as:

Body-Mind Centering® Method: Movement, voice, contact and awareness

Since 2012 I have been working in close collaboration with people to fulfill their aspirations for optimal well-being as an individual Yoga practitioner and through treatment with Shiatsu and Reflexology RLD. These days, I am happy to have made that change because the path of Yoga & Shiatsu, fills me and from where I develop well-educated and memorable experiences for students online and in person of course.

What is the approach?

The approach is always the same, in any of the three disciplines: adopt a compassionate approach to empower people, in order to help them return to being able to do what they love.

My journey

I have specialized in the last 15 years in women’s health, particularly the lymphatic system, nervous system and helping to gain mobility, stability, and finding ways that help us feel lighter and more agile.

I have had clients with major challenges: people with bone cancer, liver cancer, Parkinson’s, lymphedema, Alzheimer’s and lung and heart disease.

On a personal level and having been born in a rural village of the Campo de Gibraltar, I am a naturalist and a birdwatcher. I enjoy writing and painting. When I am not working, I am researching and practicing to integrate everything I have learned so I can offer better quality to my clients.

I feel very grateful to all my teachers who have inspired me a love and respect for the potential of these disciplines that can help people so much.
