About Me
I was born and raised between Lanzarote and Gran Canaria, in a home where health was a way of life. My mother was a beautician, and my father a massage therapist, working with essential oils and the soothing warmth of saunas. From an early age, I understood the importance of caring for the body. I watched people arrive with sadness and pain and leave with relief and a renewed spirit. My father would teach me the bones in my hand, and by the time I was eight, I knew nearly all the bones in the human body as naturally as a child learns their native language.
Even in primary school, I was already trying to help my classmates with their aches and guiding them through simple exercises at recess. By high school, even teachers, family members, and friends began to seek my help, and they encouraged me to study physiotherapy, noticing the impact I was making even without formal training.
I still remember, as clearly as if it were yesterday, the day in third grade when my teacher drew a hip prosthesis on the blackboard to explain his limp. That image has stayed with me, reminding me how each body carries its own story.
As I grew older, I started observing people’s postures, the way they walked, ran, and moved. At fourteen, I began learning healthy exercises with Jane Fonda and Cindy Crawford, and soon enough, I was teaching my neighbors and classmates. Seeing their satisfaction motivated me to keep learning. By eighteen, I was taking my first courses in fitness, aerobics, Pilates, spinning, and more.
Back then, I was quite shy, so teaching group classes was a real challenge. But with every bit of positive feedback, I gained more confidence. I initially studied physical education because my grades weren’t enough for physiotherapy or medicine, but when I graduated, my father and his partner convinced me to study physiotherapy at a private university. Knowing how much he was investing in my education made me hesitant, but he assured me I was his best investment. To this day, wherever he may be, I continue to thank him.
My father was my greatest teacher, my foundation, and my support. I spent countless hours watching him work, listening to bodies and helping them heal. Studying physiotherapy alongside physical education allowed me to help others not only with my hands but also through exercise.
Over time, I learned the importance of emotions in healing, realizing we are more than just bones, muscles, and tendons. We are complex beings, and everything in us is connected. When a patient comes to me in pain, I don’t just treat the pain itself; I try to understand where it started and how I can help the body let go of it. I enjoy being a steady support for my patients, helping them not only during our sessions but beyond, as someone they can rely on for better health and quality of life. Guiding others toward well-being and giving them tools to feel better brings true purpose to my life.
