In my job as a therapist, I merge different techniques, traditions and studies along with my intuition.
I was born in Buenos Aires (Argentina). After finishing my studies, I learned tapestry techniques with the artist Marta Viñals. I worked with her as an artisan weaver for 1 year at Susana Harsanyi's atelier.
At 21, I moved to Brazil, two years later I initiated my path in the study and practice of complementary therapies.
Through close contact with local natural healers from Bahia (Brazil), I studied and practiced the use of medicinal plants with therapeutic purposes, along with body cleansing with plants, and I complemented these skills by studying radiesthesia for persons, animals, plants, and ambiance treatment.
Thirteen years later I moved to Rome (Italy), where I did different studies in several schools of alternative training. I had my Professional Training Degree as Foot Reflexologist at the "Hanne Marquardt Scuola per Riflessoterapia al Piede" German school, where I also learned the Foot reflexologic lymphatic drainage technique.
I have augmented those studies with the Vietnamese technique of facial reflexology, from the French school DIEN'CHAM' with the Professor Nhuan Le Quang, student of the creator of the "Faciodiagnostic et Cybernetic Therapy", Professor Bui Quoc Chau, from Vietnam.
Concurrently, and following the path of my Radiesthesia studies, I got my Degree as “Radionics Operator” at the "Società Italiana di Radiònica", created by Dr. Alessandra Previdi, in Rome.
After ten years of training in Italy I came back to Brazil, where I finished my studies in Numerology with the Numerologist Mónica Tucci.
For four years, I took part in researching and learning about the identification and manipulation of medicinal local plants for therapeutic purposes, at "Casa de Sirius" company, where I worked with Vera Lùcia Bosquè, Postgraduate Therapist, in "Use, handling and manipulation of Medicinal Plants".
In 2005 I was initiated in African roots' practices and therapeutic rituals, at the Healing House "Tenda de Oxum-Apará da Naçao de Angola", in inland Bahia, being guided by Mae Nanà, with whom i continue learning.
I took a Training Course of "Phytocosmetics and Essential Oils" led by the Homeopathic Pharmacist Ludmila Yasmina Costa Sarmento.
For eight years I assisted the company "Parrilla Boi Nos Aires" and its staff, giving therapeutic and reflexologic support. With the aim of increasing general well-being in the group's dynamic and health, optimizing performance and improving their bonds.
At the same time, I created and developed a unique line of “protection pendants”, containing a special mix of medicinal herbs, named Artepatuàs and also an innovative natural and therapeutic line of perfumes.
After nine years in Brazil, I moved to La Paz city, Baja California Sur(México), where I attended seminars of mexican traditional medicine, “Techniques of the Prehispanic Healer, Course 1 and Course 2” and "Anahuac Dances Training Course", taught by Shaman Francisco Ayala and organized by the "Instituto Sudcaliforniano de Cultura".
My therapeutic goal is:
*Optimizing vital resources to people, animals, plants and ambients.
*Reevaluating the use of popular and shamanic traditions as a source of ancestral wisdom integrating different techniques.
