MY STORY\n<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The sea has always been part of my life. From my teenage years, through my career as communications director in competitive sailing, to crossing the Atlantic on a sailboat. Being at sea taught me something no book could: that we cannot control life, but we can learn to be present in the middle of the storm.<\/span><\/p>

Like so many people, I have been through moments of crisis, illness, stagnation and loss of meaning. The turning point came when one of my children was given a prognosis I was not prepared to accept.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

It drove me to study the brain and neuroplasticity from the inside, not as theory but as necessity. And what I witnessed left no room for doubt: the body can reorganise itself when given the right conditions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

From there, I followed a broad and deliberate path of training: a master\u2019s in NLP and a master\u2019s in NLP coaching, Ericksonian hypnosis, Sinterg\u00e9tica (the integrative medicine developed by Dr Jorge Carvajal, which approaches the organism as a unity of matter, energy and information), somatic coaching, osteopathy, nervous system regulation and cardiac coherence. Each of these disciplines gave me access to a different level of the same system. Together, they allow me to work with the body, the emotions, the mind and the energy as a whole, not as separate layers.<\/p>

I have spent over ten years working with people in clinical practice, combining the hands-on listening of osteopathy with the emotional and energetic work of somatic coaching.<\/p>

Today I accompany those who are in their own process of transformation, when life asks them to change course and turn inward. With awareness, with respect, and with the certainty that the body holds the intelligence it needs to find its way.<\/p>

You cannot run from a boat, just as you cannot run from yourself. But you can learn to inhabit yourself with presence.<\/p>

That is the journey I am offering you.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
