Trainer Mindful Parenting
Co-founder of a Mindfulness Institute based in Madrid. My professional background experience as a Yoga teacher, Ayurvedic therapist and mindfulness trainings; MBSR (UMASS), CCT Compassion (Standford University), Mindful-Eating (Char Wilkins, Jan Chozen) Mind in Labor (Nancy Bardacke) and Mindfulparenting (Susan Bogel) and more recently Compassion Inquiry (Gabor Maté), have informed and nurtured my process in motherhood as much as professionally. MindfulParenting can be a way for self-inquiry, a connection to ourselves (in the present moment, in the body) that will empower us to get out of the automatic pilote mode to be able to be the parent we want to be.
