Sessions approach

The base of of all my sessions are on the approach of Compassionate Inquiry. This psychotherapeutic approach was developed by Dr. Gabor Maté and Sat Dharam Kaur and focuses on trauma, addiction and childhood development.

My focus is on creating a compassionate, respectful, non-judgmental and mindful open space. Together we will investigate what questions concern you, using techniques such as systemic work, family constellations, mindfulness and somatic exercises. 

The sessions are live or online, individually and with couples.

 For creatives

A transformational journey that I 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.

We integrate mindfulness & somatic practices Compassionate Inquiry, creative exploration & emotional awareness.

to connect your body, emotions, and creativity, gently explore subconscious patterns that block your artistic flow, recognize the inner parts that emerge when you feel blocked and the ones that thrive when you’re fully creative. 

The sessions are live or online, individual and in group

Compassionate Inquiry - Trauma,Stress & Addictions Informed Therapy

Trauma, big or small, is something we all carry with us. Trauma can occur when a child's basic needs are not fulfilled by the parents/caretakers. This may have happened when we were very young and unable to process what the environment required of us. This is how trauma remains in our bodies and manifests itself through triggers in our present.

 

One of the biggest causes of stress is the disconnection from our bodies. Stress of any kind, can be a signal the body send us to discover more about ourselves. This can provide us with important information about our mental and physical state.

 

With trauma-informed approaches like Compassionate Inquiry, mindfulness and somatic awareness I can help you unlock traumatic experiences that cause stress and provide you with tools to navigate the present without being led by your past. You can learn to integrate coping-strategies to restore balance and (re)connection with your body.

​​

Systemic & Family Constellation 

Systemic work is based on interconnections within systems, exploring how patterns influence behaviour, beliefs, and relationships. Family constellations is a facet of systemic work, using group dynamics to represent family structures. Participants embody family members, revealing hidden dynamics and unresolved issues.

On one on one sessions we work with the field, paper and colors.

We sometimes carry traumas that have been passed on by our ancestors, and we continue to pass them on to our own children. By observing these constellations we uncover inherited patterns and facilitating resolutions emerge.

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.
