About Me

Since I was a child, I couldn’t not dance. Movement has always been my instinctive way of expressing myself. Feeling my body, its power and its language through sensation, has been something natural throughout my life.

Over time, I began to understand that this relationship with the body was not only a form of expression, but a way of being in the world. My intuition has guided me to recognize my experience as something whole, where mind, body, and essence are not separate, but lived as one.

One of my first paths was contemporary dance and ballet. I trained as a dancer, and although dance was deeply meaningful to me, I also encountered a world shaped by strong physical demands, constant pressure, and a search for perfection that often left little room for what is essential.

Even so, dance became a turning point in my life. Through it, I was able to leave a very dark period behind. Letting go of drugs was not something forced; it happened almost naturally as I found in movement a deeper sense of meaning. Each day had direction, and dancing brought me back to life.

Still, there was a question that remained within me: what truly gives life meaning?

At 19, I began exploring psychology and Buddhist philosophy. This marked a profound shift. I found a path that offered coherence, depth, and a wider understanding of the human experience.

It was there that I first encountered compassion, not as an idea, but as a lived experience. I had the opportunity to attend retreats with Tibetan teachers, where we explored emptiness and compassion through direct practice.

At 21, I began my path in traditional yoga and somatic education. This was the beginning of a deeper integration between what I felt, what I thought, and what I am.

During this time, I also went through one of the most challenging stages of my life: anorexia. Through consistent practice, and the loving discipline of yoga and meditation, I slowly began to build a different relationship with myself, one rooted in respect and care. Over time, self-destructive patterns began to lose their strength.

I trained in different yoga traditions such as Hatha, Vinyasa, and Kundalini. However, it was traditional Kashmir yoga and Advaita Vedanta that truly touched my heart with their simplicity and depth.

For several years, I traveled to study with my teachers. Beyond any formal certification, what I received from these encounters was a living teaching: a presence that was clear, compassionate, and deeply human.

We shared silence, practice, and conversations where the most intimate questions could unfold without rush. It was never about achieving something, but about refining the ability to feel, to observe, and to inhabit experience with honesty.

Along this path, something became clear within me:

I was born to move... and to support others in moving. To move the body, the heart, the mind. To move what has been held or frozen... and gently return to stillness.

Moments of Presence

Over time, my exploration expanded into other ways of understanding health. I trained in floral therapy, bioenergetics, and craniosacral therapy, opening my perspective to a more integrative view of well-being.

For many years, I was seen as “too sensitive.” Today, I recognize that sensitivity as a form of deep perception.

Maybe you have felt this too...

That emotional intensity, the difficulty of fitting in, the sense that something within you is asking to be understood in a different way.

In my case, it was through the body that I found that understanding.

Becoming a mother opened new layers of awareness. Parts of me that still reacted, that needed deeper care, became visible. This led me to explore trauma, neuroscience, and the relationship between the nervous system, emotions, and the body.

I trained in trauma-informed somatic therapy, polyvagal theory, and attachment theory. This perspective brought clarity and grounded understanding to processes that once felt confusing or overwhelming.

Now, after more than 20 years on this path, I feel a growing sense of integration.

My work is born from there.

I also integrate art as a way to express what cannot always be put into words. A space for the preverbal, the symbolic, and for what needs to be felt before it can be understood.

In this way, my work is woven through three dimensions that are not separate: the body, awareness, and human experience.

Somatic Sense

Somatic Sense arises from a simple yet profound understanding:

Our life experience does not happen only in the mind, nor only in the body, nor only in our emotions. It happens in the integration of all of it.

It is a space where there is no need to fragment in order to heal.

A space where biology, emotions, relationships, personal history, and the spiritual dimension can coexist.

It is grounded in the understanding that a meaningful life is not a life without pain. Pain, loss, and disconnection are part of being human.

What transforms our experience is not avoiding it, but how we relate to it.

When an experience can be felt, supported, and integrated, something shifts. The nervous system finds more coherence. Life begins to feel more livable.

“Somatic Sense” also speaks to this: to that moment when something “makes sense” not only mentally, but in the body.

A felt sense of coherence, where what we live, feel, and understand begins to align.

The body, the soma, is not just a vessel; it is where life happens.

And when we learn to listen, respect, and inhabit it with presence, it becomes a guide.

From this place, science and spirituality are no longer separate. They meet in direct experience.

And from a more regulated system and a less burdened mind, our essence can express itself with greater freedom.


I work from a trauma-informed somatic perspective, integrating conscious movement, deep listening, and compassionate presence.

I mainly support women who wish to understand themselves beyond the mind, reconnect with their bodies, and cultivate a more honest and loving relationship with their experience.

One of the pillars of my work is creating a bridge between science and the spiritual dimension of human experience, where both become tangible through the wisdom of the body.


My path began in rebellion. Today, I see it as a form of inquiry.

The path of the artist and the yogi share something essential: the willingness to look beyond what is given, to question, and to feel deeply.

I was born with a restless soul, with a desire to explore freedom through direct experience.

And this is the invitation I share with you:

There is no single path. There is no place you need to arrive at.

But there is a possibility to meet yourself, with curiosity and honesty, within your own experience.

May your life become a space of connection with yourself. A path of self-knowing, love, and freedom.

And little by little, may you find your own rhythm... and dance this life with presence and grace.

In my sessions with Odemaris, I had the opportunity to connect with my inner being in such a deep and meaningful way that I was able to release anxiety. I connected with experiences that, once brought into awareness, became incredibly powerful and transformative. Since then, something truly shifted within me.

The somatic work with Odemaris marked a clear before and after in my life. It was a true reconnection with what I needed to feel — with my emotions and with my body. Understanding myself as a conscious being was deeply beautiful. Thank you for your generosity, Ode... for helping me feel safe and accompanied toward calm and love.

I deeply recommend these sessions. Our bodies need to release what is no longer healthy. Through this work, I experienced a very special form of self-inquiry that supports our deepest well-being, held from a place of love.

I want to express my deepest gratitude for the loving, ethical, and interdisciplinary support I have received throughout this process. Through somatic therapy, I have learned to inhabit my body more consciously, incorporating tools such as breathwork and body awareness, which have been fundamental in supporting and guiding me. This path has allowed me to reconnect with myself, recognize my strengths, and strengthen my capacity to support myself.

This process helped me heal difficult memories that caused me pain for many years. These experiences no longer define who I am; they are now part of my story, not my identity. Somatic therapy taught me how to inhabit my emotions from a loving, curious, and integrative place.

I came into this process after moving through very dark moments... Odemaris’ accompaniment offered a space where I could look at myself with honesty and love. Through this process, I was able to return to myself, recognize my worth, and reconnect with an inner light I had forgotten.
