Healing Card 1: Your Journey
What inspired you to start your healing journey?
When in my 20s I started to question my-self, my patterns and behaviour versus seeking for what's wrong outside. Instead of blaming the situation or other people for what I was experiencing or being faced with, I started to be curious about the fact that I regularly found myself in similar situations and around similar people. That took me to start an inner discovery and healing journey that expanded into the wish to share this awareness with others. When you realize that your positioning means everything in the way you perceive and receive and experience, your life simply and radically changes.
Healing Card 2: Your Philosophy (Why)
What is your personal philosophy on healing?
I approach healing as a layer peeling, as an unlearning and a continuous letting go of everything that is not. To finally realize that there is nothing to heal at the heart. Though the path needs to be walked, to realize there was nowhere else to go. This, as a body experience means to trust, the ultimate level of relaxation. When you can connect to your essence, to “what” you are, you can realize that there is no need to hold all those tensions, to fight gravity and live in effort. That’s my vision, my mission, my passion seating next to a body, my hands on it whispering “It’s ok, you can let go now, you are safe, you are full, you are held.”.
Healing Card 3: Your Approach (How)
Which healing modalities do you specialise in?
I offer sessions of bodywork using touch, breathing and verbal guidance on the massage table. Including also sometimes my voice as means of touching too through its vibrations. In these sessions, there is a very important part also of talking that complements the bodywork, helping the mind join the process by understanding and expanding its awareness too. My approach focuses mainly on how the repetitive not chosen patterns are limiting the person and imprisoning the experience of life in a place of suffering, both physical and emotional / mental. My aim is to guide the person to become aware of these and let go of them, both in the body and in the mind (belief system). I also can guide people online to go through this process of awareness and release and I also guide group workshops for awareness expansion and letting go of patterns through breathwork, movement, body attention and other tools.
Healing Card 4: Your Practices (What)
What healing practices are you most passionate about?
The main service I offer is bodywork on the massage table. When the client arrives, we begin with a conversation to clearly understand where and how they need support—whether it’s addressing a physical condition, symptom, or pain; navigating a challenging situation and the emotions that come with it; or seeking clarity and recentering. Once we’ve established the focus, we move to the massage table where we work both physically and energetically, helping to reconnect with what needs to be felt and release what no longer serves. After the session, there’s time for integration and rest, followed by feedback if needed.
Healing Card 5: Ideal Client
Who is your ideal client, or who can benefit most from your services?
People who can benefit from my work and can best team up with me, are people who are looking for a way to get in touch with themselves through becoming more aware at all levels. People who want to take back responsibility, no matter how scary, people who want to step into the unknown, no matter how destabilizing and people who want to feel more, no matter how painful or intense. My services are also for people who are willing to take it all lightly and deeply at the same time, laughing is an important part of it.
Healing Card 6: Client Shifts
What are the most common shifts or changes that clients experience through your work?
People who come to me very often experience a level of intense deep relaxation that they describe as going to another dimension or on a trip. I guess in the sense that they experience a state of consciousness that is slightly altered (going into parasympathetic) where the body and the nervous system reset and recover. From that state shifts such as changes in symptoms (or total release of them), deep insights and ah ha moments and emotional release (of stuck old information) often happen either during the session or in the days after. Almost always, a sense of coming back home to your-self happens, which is very helpful in order to access your inner wisdom and personal tools.
Healing Card 7: Nurturing Space
How do you create a supportive and nurturing environment for your clients?
My work is mainly about creating a nurturing space—there is very little more I need to do. Magic happens when I am fully present, attuned to the body and to the experiences unfolding in every moment. With no expectations and total acceptance of what needs to be felt or experienced, this is where transformation begins. Empathy plays a huge role in my approach. When someone feels truly seen, they can begin to confront the parts they were struggling to acknowledge. The shared sense of safety and intimacy that arises when someone is willing to go there with you is invaluable. For this, I must place myself in a position of total equality—eye to eye with the person—remaining fully present, yet detached.
Healing Card 8: Your Impact
How do you see your work or location contributing to the wellness community on Mallorca?
I am a natural "connecting people" person and a strong believer that healing cannot happen with a one-sided approach. It requires a multi-disciplinary approach, where we engage with life’s processes from different angles and all levels. So, when someone comes to me, I often offer complementary ways they can approach the issue we are working on together. I believe that we all have something to offer and I trust that those who need what I give will find their way to me. Similarly, I am happy to refer those who I believe would benefit from someone else's gift, knowing that, together, we support each other on this shared journey.

Wildcard: Fun Fact
What’s one fun or surprising fact about you that most people don’t know?
It wasn’t funny at the time, but it brings a smile now when I remember my first steps with touch some 15 years ago. When studying the Grinberg Method, we were asked to "find a trigger point" on the neck of our partner. I got so stressed, convinced I had no idea how to "find a trigger point," that I pretended to find one and made up the entire exercise. Today, being aware that the body’s intelligence knows where the most important points are, my hands go directly to where they are needed, like detector antennas. It always makes me smile, bittersweetly, to see how disconnected we can be from such natural capacities, and it reminds me that you can learn (or train yourself in) anything.
Words of Wisdom
What advice would you give someone just starting their wellness journey?
Just keep going, no matter what. Use your stubbornness (because, let's face it, all patterns are stubborn!) for your healing, instead of against you. This is advice I once received from a teacher, and it has stayed with me during the challenging times. So, I offer my gratitude for having received this wisdom and now pass it along to you.
