News I would like to hear

Balance and peace on Earth, the end of diseases and wars.

My greatest achievement

To be the mother of three wonderful human beings, and when I was about 6 years old, having a clear vision that I wanted to learn English, which led me to take the big step of living in the USA, learning English, experiencing other cultures, meeting people, and having the opportunity to live in different countries... (Canada, India).

My biggest challenge

To extend the power of Coaching and Mindfulness to as many people as possible.

Where do I see myself in three years?

Physically, wherever life takes us, India/Spain... On a less physical level, continuing to learn and help from every experience and every person.

The last time I was moved...

Receiving a big hug from my daughter on Mother's Day, and hearing a few days ago how much the things we share help people become more themselves, finding their best version and bringing them more joy and calm.

I can't suppress a scream when...

I see an unfair treatment.

My friends say about me...

That I have very big ears (the ability to listen).

What I do best is...

Gazpacho :)

I would like...

May the world be a place of calm, harmony and peace for all.

I never thought that...

I would live in India.

How do I recharge the batteries?

Meditating, swimming, laughing, and spending time with family and friends.

What do I need to be happy?

Breathing, remembering that simply being without labels is the most authentic way to live.

I wish that...

Right now, that all people have a home with health, love, and peace.

Through coaching, I learned...

To help find the best version or start that journey.

For me, coaching is...

A wonderful tool that helps you clarify and put into perspective thoughts, emotions, and actions.

In which groups would I like to apply coaching?

Expatriates, executives, teenagers, and generally people with a strong desire to grow.

What training/research/experience complements my coaching studies?

Experience as a Human Resources Consultant, Master's in Human Resources, MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction) Instructor, Positive Intelligence Coach, Neuroscience and Coaching, Mindfulness at the Workplace by Oxford Mindfulness Centre, Coach for Life by Life & Leadership Coaching, Mindfulness Program for children aged 4 to 18 by Eline Snel.

What could you bring to the EEC Alumni community?

The personal experience after years of inner work of truly turning off the radio (as we learn in coaching school) is only possible if one is fully present and understands how the mind works.

What question have I missed that you would like to ask and answer?

How can we contribute to the better future of our youth and our planet? By teaching ancient and wise traditions, such as living in the present moment with love, acceptance, and care.
