As a young adult, I decided to study Tourism, and this led me to live in Canada and Costa Rica—experiences that enriched me enormously. Upon returning to Barcelona, I felt the urge to continue studying and chose Business Administration, a versatile education that complemented the previous one. But something must have been stirring inside me, because I kept seeking new learning experiences in the humanistic field. Alongside my work, I felt a strong curiosity about personal development. I studied Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Co-Active Coaching… and with the arrival of my son, it was Respectful Relationship Education and Systemic Practice that caught my attention. This journey deeply transformed me. I began by training in Systemic Practice for children, adolescents, and families. Later, I clearly saw the need and the benefits of applying a systemic approach in organizations. I have worked in both family-owned businesses and multinational companies, experiencing acquisitions, takeovers, and mergers in departments such as Export, Operations, Customer Service, and Sales. I also took part in the creation and development of a parenting group established as an association—an amazing systemic experience! All these experiences across different types of organizations have enriched me, both professionally and personally, and for that, I’m truly grateful. Being part of various teams also led me to realize that not all potential was being fully expressed—neither at the individual level nor at the organizational level. One day, I felt it was the right moment to merge these two paths and offer them in service to both organizations and individuals. Since then, I have been supporting people through personal, professional, and organizational processes. Now, I’m also part of the teaching staff for the Systemic Tools for Organizations training at the Gestalt Institute in Barcelona.
