Your Instructor
I’m a professional storyteller and I train people in the ancestral art of storytelling. I work with story medicine in private practice and as a group facilitator in unique workshops, weaving storytelling with my training in Art Therapy, Gestalt therapy, Psychodrama and Embodied Dance and Movement therapies. I also offer these online.
I have a degree in Biological Sciences and am part of the global network of Earth Storytellers. The rhythms of nature are very present in my work as I celebrate the Celtic wheel of the year and the lunar cycles. My creativity is inspired in the dawn of civilization, when we gathered around the fire to listen to myths of creation to connect us with our inner selves, our clan and the universe.
I am presently undergoing training in the ways of the Druids with OBOD (the Order of the Bards, Ovates & Druids). I am also training to be a funeral celebrant with River Jones in the School of Celebrancy
I am the founder of Story Arte, a centre for Art Therapy and Storytelling in the village where I live, in the foothills near Madrid.

Estoy licenciada en Ciencias Biológicas y formo parte de la red global de Earth Storytellers. Los ritmos de la naturaleza están muy presentes en mi trabajo. Sigo la rueda del año celta y los ciclos lunares. Mi creatividad se inspira en los albores de la conciencia humana, cuando se escuchaban historias en torno al fuego para conectar con uno mismo, con el clan y con el universo. Soy parte del equipo de formadoras de The Mary Magdalene Mystery School y actualmente me estoy formando con la Order of the Bards, Ovates & Druids y como oficiante de funerales, con River Jones en la School of Celebrancy.
Soy fundadora de Story Arte, Centro de Arteterapia y Narración oral en el pueblo donde vivo cerca de la Sierra en Madrid.
