In ancient Spain, Roman baths served as vital social and cultural centers, reflecting the influence of Roman civilization on the Iberian Peninsula. These bathhouses, known as “termas” in Latin, were architectural marvels adorned with intricate mosaics, elegant statues, and sophisticated heating systems. They provided not only a place for hygiene but also a space for relaxation, leisure, and socializing. Patrons from diverse backgrounds would gather to enjoy the thermal waters, indulge in massages, and engage in conversation. The Roman baths in Spain symbolized the integration of Roman customs into local society, highlighting the enduring legacy of Roman culture in the region.
Spain has a rich literary tradition with many notable writers who have made significant contributions to world literature. Here are a few:
My native language is Spanish, and I speak English.
I spent my childhood and adolescence in Cádiz and Málaga, respectively. I studied Medicine at the University of Granada (Spain) and specialized in Psychiatry in Palma de Mallorca, where I also had the opportunity to work in the specific Eating Disorder Unit upon completing my specialization and training.
I completed part of my training as a psychiatrist at Zucker Hillside Hospital in New York, where I participated in several research studies on first episodes of schizophrenia. I enjoyed the American experience so much that I decided to take the necessary exams to validate my medical degree in the United States.
Finally, I settled in my homeland and have been living on the Costa del Sol since 2016, where I work as a psychiatrist for adults, adolescents, and children.
I have extensive experience in different services such as: emergencies, internal medicine, pediatrics, gynecology and obstetrics at the Costa del Sol Hospital, oncology and hematology at the Hospital de la Línea de la Concepción and emergencies at the Cenyt Hospital.
I became a nurse because since I was little I have liked being able to help and care for others. The satisfaction of seeing a recovery or overcoming a complicated situation is the most rewarding thing in my work.
I consider myself an empathetic person, with active and resilient listening.

I’m a Holistic Counsellor and Confidence Coach with more than 25 years of experience in the Health & Wellness Industry. I’m looking for an opportunity to apply my skills and experience here in Spain and I’d love to bring my expertise and enthusiasm to your team at Satori.
While there are many healing modalities available these days in my personal and professional experience what helps to bring shifts for long-lasting effects using psycho-spiritual techniques to help facilitate their journey from addiction to recovery. This gently invites clients to go beyond the mind level to connect with a Higher Power to cultivate inner peace and happiness from within and this can help clients.
I experienced my own trauma as a child and seeked comfort in alcohol over the years until I started my own journey with regular counselling sessions to explore the root cause of my addiction. This helped me to find inner peace and be able to explore the limiting beliefs I had been holding onto which has enabled me to cultivate a more positive outlook to life and in turn work as a professional to empower others.
I’ve been a world traveller most of my life until I chose to settle in Spain. I’ve worked at holistic centres in Sri Lanka and Thailand with clients with addictions as well as online with people worldwide. There’s not a fixed way that suits everyone and I’m passionate following an initial meeting to connect with a client to create an unique and bespoke package for them. This is a combination of talking therapy and energy healing to help unlock the deeper issues in a safe space of trust for the client as often clients find it difficult to express themselves so the use of art, drawing, writing etc is used.
I believe the integration of Mind, Body & Spirit is important for successful programmes and I feel the skills, knowledge, experience and wisdom I can offer will be an asset to any team to facilitate a client’s journey. I also love to work in nature working while respecting the boundaries of programmes offered at Satori with regards to the environment and stability of clients.
