Meet us

I started this full awareness adventure nearly 4 years ago, by chance as many of the best things that happen in life. Thanks to my friend Ana, who attended a mindfulness lecture by Jon Kabat-Zinn in University of Madrid. She was so impressed, and really encouraged me to listen to the lecture and register in a MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction) course, “that is what you need”, she said.

At that moment in 2016, I was asking myself about my relationship to my own time, my family time and specially considering my 3 children. I had been 19 years in the multi-national business environment, 11 years on sales, developing and selling products & solutions. Almost always under a lot of pressure, working “at the end of a funnel”, were stress was usual and “taking work worries home” quite common in my days. I had 3 children, a beautiful family, but also the feeling of running,  rushing, pushing others, sprinkling family with stress routines. Life was leaking from my hands. I knew I needed to do something, I needed to pull the brakes, but I didn´t know how.

At that point I really didn´t know much about mindfulness, true that I had always felt an attraction for mind-body relationship, I am a dedicated dancer, yoga and pilates practitioner almost all my life, but I simply just followed my friends advice and I registered for an MBSR course with a curious mind with the idea to “stop”.

I discovered a treasure, attention and awareness in my life, in my everyday. A treasure that shows as layers peeling along my own practice and the persons I discover in this process. A path with the intention to be a better and more conscious person,  a conscious mother, a conscious member of the family, at work and in the world. 

I am nowadays in that path, as in July 2020 I decided to change my career and finally dedicate myself to what is in my heart, take mindfulness and compassion practice to others in this planet, to build together a conscious community.

From 2018, I have carried the mindfulness program “Crecer Respirando” for a community of about 135 children and adolescents in schools and private groups. In parallel to the children, I developed a program for “mindful parenting” and the project “Mindful Schools (Escuelas Conscientes)” for educational centers.

In the enterprise environment, from September 2019 to July 2020 I developed the 10 week mindfulness program “Mindful People At Work” which was carried for more than 220 employees at Nokia, both in formats on-line LIVE and face-to-face and in English and Spanish. In parallel to the program I did large audience workshops, Mindful Movement in times of confinement sessions during Covid-19 and drop-in meditation practices along the week for employees. This has truly being an enriching experience for which I am really grateful, a co-learning experience with colleagues and participants specially during these uncertain times.
