Professional Summary

I have been running my own private practice as physiotherapist and osteopath since 1999. I taught at the Balearic Island University (UIB) until 2014 and have been an independent teacher since then.

Skills

I’ve been treating individuals and groups in a holistic way since I began as a physiotherapist in 1999. Wanting to adopt a more global approach to treatment I then studied Osteopathy, but still felt a greater need to relate the body and the patient’s condition with the emotional side. This resulted in me completing a course in Gestalt therapy, a humanistic approach of psychology, to enhance my treatments further. Since then, I have applied a holistic and integral treatment, drawing on combined knowledge and understanding from these areas.

I base my treatment on seeking health and the best ways to reach it.

I work in my own practice with two colleagues, Antonia Frontera, physiotherapist and Gestalt therapist and Marina Canals, osteopath and physiotherapist.
