About me

From a very young age I have been fascinated by nature and art.

By the age of 7 I already began artistic skating, music theory and piano classes. And I stepping into my stilts for the first time, in addition to attending painting and drawing classes, among others.

Since then I was always dressing up, inventing characters, singing, dancing and creating incredible stories.

By the age of 12 I obtained the Professional Music Certificate (average grade of solfeggio and piano).

My family passed down to me from the very beginning the respect and affection towards nature and the small miracles of life.

And there was already something inside me that told me “Everything is Yoga”. This is something that today I feel more and more everyday. And it lives wholly inside my heart, although it is difficult for me to explain it with words. Anyway, below, I’ll try.

Later I decided to put the artistic world aside to focus on formal studies and decided to dedicate my life to helping others.

I graduated in Social Education at the Autonomous University of Barcelona and worked for 5 years in centres for minors at risk of social exclusion. At that moment I began to understand the true meaning of the word “love”. I carefully accompanied children, adolescents and young people, from newborns of just a day of life to those of 20 year olds, all in their complex vital moments of life.

It was very hard but it transformed me into the invincible and sensitive woman that I am today.

And suddenly and without warning, the Contemporary Circus appeared with indescribable power in my path. It was love at first sight and since love is blind… I left absolutely everything to intensely experience the relationship with this magnificent discipline of mindfulness in the present moment for the acquisition of a high level of concentration, and therefore, joy and happiness.

I followed the professional course of contemporary circus artist at the “Scuola Romana di Circo” (Italy) and later I continued training as an actress at the “Ygramul” anthropological theater school. Quickly I started doing performances, individual and company shows and working as an aerobatics teacher, coordinator and teacher of European projects.

I continued my circus and theatre career working with the “Fura dels Baus” and with “DOO Performing Arts” at the “Odin Teatret”.

But again, a hunch! My conscience warned me that I had abandoned something essential for my health and happiness for a long time: Nature.

That nostalgia made me approach Yoga and Physiotherapy, at the same time as Agro-ecology and Permaculture. In recent years I have been certified as an Integral Yoga instructor at the “European Yoga School” and I am specialising in Progressive Yoga Biomechanics at the “Yoga Biomechanics Institute”. I have also carried out experiential training in the field of organic farming and sustainability for 4 years.

And many will say… what relation does one thing have to the other one? Well, a lot, in fact, everything. Everything is connected. Everything is Yoga. Yoga is Union. Nature the origin. Anthropology is the science that studies the human being in a holistic way and social education addresses it in depth. Society and culture is the set of knowledge accumulated by humanity throughout its millennia of history. The contemporary circus is a physical practice that requires a special presence, strength and magic; the theatre of life and art as a creative ritual.

And I know that at first glance, it may sound bizarre. They aren’t pretty phrases taken from mystical books, but it is my way of feeling and observing the world. It is something that my soul knows and experiences without anything else.

And this is how Libera Mente project was found. The Union of all these experiences, outside of manuals, outside of stereotypes, or of what yoga should and shouldn’t be. According to many, there is a huge discrepancy from the circus and nature. But not for me. For me, everything is the same. The presence and passion of living every moment as a master game is the guiding thread of my personal story.

With the Libera Mente project, I offer you educational leisure, that is, free time that seeks socio-cultural cohesion and fun at the same time. And the acquisition of knowledge, sustainability, ecology, personal development and social cohesion. I give you the opportunity to be guided to use Art, the Body and Nature as instruments of connection with enjoyment, well-being and knowledge.

I speak English, Spanish, Catalan and Italian, so I can carry out any of the activities and events in your language as needed.

I have professional certificates in social education, comprehensive yoga, contemporary circus, anthropological theatre, music, and physical and recreational activities.

All these subjects are essential for good growth, not only physical and intellectual, but also for optimal development of social and affective skills, creativity, values and healthy habits.

This is why I create these face-to-face spaces available to you, in a safe and healthy natural environment. I accompany you, so that you can benefit from this comprehensive, natural, face-to-face, creative and multidisciplinary learning in a world where the hyper-technological, hyper-specialised, rational and stereotypes prevail.

The system of principles of Libera Mente is based on the objective of “people care” from the principles of Permaculture and Yoga. Including, health and spiritual well-being, education and culture, from a humanistic environmental philosophy, starting with oneself and expanding in growing rural circles such as family, neighbours and nearby communities.

Through Libera Mente, I promote actions aimed at improving people’s quality of life; improving relationships while presenting a healthy and conscious leisure alternative. In addition, I enable family reconciliation by offering separately spaces for children, adults, the elderly and also intergenerational and family spaces to combine and balance individual and community moments.

This is a project with a soul that I build every day with passion, dedication, affection, patience, perseverance, determination, awareness and delicacy, to materialise the dream of creating heaven on earth and sharing it with you.

Would you like to make every moment of your life magical?

Tell me your dreams and let’s make it happen together!

With love.
