ABOUT ME
Hello, let me tell you a bit about myself
I opened my first practice in Madrid in 2013 and now work in Granada. My approach has evolved through practice, with the guidance of my teachers and through the people who have visited my practice.
My work begins by listening, before deciding what to do with my hands.
I’m keen to understand what’s going on with the person in front of me. That’s why I start by having a chat and taking my time to explore. After that, I work mainly with my hands, step by step.
01 / TRAINING
Learning different ways of understanding the body.
I began my training in structural osteopathy at the Kirosur Centre for Integrative Medicine in Madrid. There I went on to train in visceral and sacrocranial osteopathy, as well as specialised manual therapy.
I then went on learning from different teachers and went deeper into postural work and myofascial chains with the Busquet method and the GDS method. Over the years I kept adding new ways of understanding the body, from functional movement, breathing and yoga (Hatha and Power) through to the study of the temporomandibular joint, neurodynamics and digestive health.
That journey has shaped the way I work. In the consultation, I listen to you first to understand what has brought you here, and then we move on to the examination. The treatment is exclusively manual. I adapt the techniques to what I find when examining you and to what you tell me you are feeling during the session.
What matters to me is addressing the problems that brought you to the consultation while, at the same time, you get to spend a little time looking after your body. Sometimes the session can also be a moment to slow down and disconnect.

03 / PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND
Before Ekonatura
Several years ago, before and during my time in Madrid, I worked on social projects. As a freelancer, I worked on awareness-raising and advocacy campaigns for CEAR, and as a volunteer at the Amnesty International Secretariat, I helped to coordinate activists.
In Managua (Nicaragua), I volunteered with SETEM, supporting women facing vulnerability and social exclusion.
Perhaps that is partly where my approach to my work comes from; perhaps you don’t have to go far to help others. Today, I do this from my practice.
A LITTLE MUSIC
A bit of music
I don’t use social media. I share a few lists, in case you fancy discovering something new or simply having a browse.
Listen on Spotify →And if you’d like to discuss what’s troubling you, I look forward to seeing you at the practice.
