Sessions approach

At the heart of my sessions is Compassionate Inquiry®, a psychotherapeutic approach developed by Dr. Gabor Maté and Sat Dharam Kaur, focused on trauma, addictions, and childhood development.

I create a compassionate, respectful, and non-judgmental space where we can explore the questions that matter most to you. Alongside Compassionate Inquiry®, I integrate:

Systemic work & family constellations
Mindfulness & somatic practices
Grief and Relational processing
Counselling & coaching
Creative exploration & emotional awareness

Sessions are available online or in-person, for individuals and couples.

For creatives

A transformational journey designed for photographers, artists, and creatives who want to uncover what truly needs to be expressed through their work and move beyond fears and limitations.

Through mindfulness, somatic practices, Compassionate Inquiry®, creative exploration, and emotional awareness, we:

connect body, emotions, and creativity,
gently explore subconscious patterns that block artistic flow,
recognize inner parts that emerge when you feel stuck, and the ones that thrive when you are fully creative.

Sessions are available individually and in groups, online or live.

Compassionate Inquiry® – Trauma, Addictions, Stress & Relationship-Informed Therapy

Trauma whether big or small is something we all carry. It often begins when a child’s basic needs are not fully met, leaving imprints we could not process at the time. These unresolved experiences remain stored in the body and later show up as stress, addictions, emotional triggers, or difficulties in our relationships.

One of the greatest sources of stress is the disconnection from our bodies. Yet stress itself can also be a signal—an invitation from the body to listen more deeply and uncover the hidden stories that shape our present.

In my work, I integrate Compassionate Inquiry® (developed by Dr. Gabor Maté and Sat Dharam Kaur), mindfulness, somatic practices, and systemic/family constellations to gently bring these unconscious patterns into awareness. Together, we explore how personal and inherited dynamics influence your beliefs, relationships, and sense of self.

This work also extends to couples therapy, where relational trauma often repeats itself in our partnerships. Old wounds, unmet needs, and inherited family patterns can show up as disconnection, conflict, or cycles that feel impossible to break. I help couples recognize these dynamics, communicate with honesty and compassion, and begin to build a relationship rooted in authenticity, mutual respect, and deeper connection.

Whether you are seeking individual support, navigating stress and addictions, or working on your relationship, the invitation is the same: to create space for healing, restore balance, and reconnect with your inner wisdom.

Healing is not about fixing who you are it’s about coming home to yourself, your body, and the relationships that matter most.

Coaching for Photographers &
Artists

Are you a photographer, visual artist, or creative professional who sometimes feels disconnected from your true artistic voice? Perhaps you know the struggle of feeling blocked, doubting yourself, or sensing that your work is not truly seen.

This coaching is an invitation to reconnect with your essence, to dare to express your truth, and to create from a place of authenticity and deep connection. It is a journey of rediscovering yourself, listening to what lives inside you, and allowing it to find expression through your art.

In our sessions, I invite you to reflect more deeply, explore your emotions, and uncover the stories and patterns that shape your creativity. You will begin to recognize the fears and doubts that hold you back and transform them into trust and flow. Together, we explore your artistic identity, the role of your emotions in your work, and how to weave your personal story into what you create.

The process is both playful and profound. It helps you follow your intuition, embody your creative power, and discover how empathy, authenticity, and confidence can enrich your art. Everything you feel has a place here because within your emotions lies the key to expression that truly resonates.

Coaching takes place in weekly 1:1 sessions, with space for reflection, emotionally aware practices, creative exploration, and visualization. It is a safe and supportive space designed to strengthen your inner voice and help you create with freedom.

Are you ready to rediscover your creative power and make your work visible from your deepest core?

About me

I was born in Barcelona to South American parents and grew up moving between Spain, Chile, Argentina, and the Netherlands, surrounded by refugees, musicians, philosophers, and poets. I spent many years searching for my place in the world. Addiction was also part of my childhood. Many of the people who cared for me, as well as members of my community, struggled with substance use, so I grew up in an environment of disconnection, suppressed pain, and inherited beliefs about survival, love, and self-worth.

For 25 years, I worked as a producer for international photographers and commercial advertising, supporting creatives in bringing their visions to life. Over time, I realized that my vocation went beyond artistic expression, and in 2016 I launched a coaching program for creatives and photographers to help them reconnect with their artistic essence.

In 2011, after facing deep burnout and other challenges, I began addressing my own disconnection by studying childhood trauma, stress patterns, and the signals the body sends in response to unresolved experiences. Inspired by the work of Dr. Gabor Maté, I found profound wisdom through training in Compassionate Inquiry® (CI) and discovered that healing begins with curiosity, presence, and self-compassion.

Over the years, I have trained in Systemic Coaching and Family Constellations, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Yin Yoga, Stress Management Coaching, and Psychosocial Counseling, along with other approaches that integrate mind, body, and emotional healing—including workshops in the Feldenkrais Method®.

Today, my practice is rooted in the understanding that our stories live in the body, and true transformation happens when we learn to listen deeply.

Through Compassionate Inquiry®, Creative Systemic Coaching, and somatic-based techniques, I offer safe spaces where individuals can reconnect with their inner truth, release limiting beliefs, and fully embrace their authenticity.
