"When I was a child if anyone asked me what my dream future would hold, my answer was clear - I want to be a MOVER. 

I remember myself as a cute little four year old creature with curly hair and my flamenco dress. As my childhood and teenage years went on I searched out new ways to move. I was a dancer, a runner, a jumper, a football and tennis player. I tried acting, judo and karate. 

Then I was thrown into adulthood, and my sense of being – my real essence –  began to get overshadowed by the many layers of life: family and friends, career prospects, the norms of my environment… I let myself be carried away by these conditionings, losing my ability to choose for myself. 

However, once we begin to hear the call of the Spirit, it will reveal its wisdom to us. That happened to me in Egypt. It was there that the synchronicity of many events brought me back to my origin: movement"

​

​​

My personal journey has been built through dance, languages, travel, and movement.

 

Since I was four years old, I have been passionate about movement—both through dance and travel. All types of movement, whether within my body or external to it, sparked my curiosity and desire to explore beyond. This led me to flamenco, Spanish dance, ballet, modern and funky dance, contemporary dance, yoga, and martial arts such as karate and judo.

​

I studied German and Arabic Philology, driven by my love for travel and movement, while continuing to dance and be part of the flamenco association "Emma Lucena."

 

The PhD I started from my Master's Studies in Contemporary Arabic and Islamic Studies at the Autonomous University, along with my stay at the Institute of Mediterranean Languages and Cultures at CCHS-CSIC, took me to Egypt, to a city rich in artistic heritage like Cairo.

 

While searching for my sources and novels written by Arab women writers, I continued dancing and training in various schools in the city, especially at the most renowned contemporary dance school in the Arab world, CCDC (Cairo Contemporary Dance Center), and I became acquainted with the beautiful and fun martial art of capoeira.

 

This ongoing connection with dance and movement made me want to explore further, leading me to Qigong, Tai Chi, and Shaolin Kung Fu. While I appreciated research, I had always been someone who needed to move, to express myself through movement and body language—something that didn’t fit within the standards of academia.

 

So in 2018, I decided to begin a Professional Training in Martial Arts and Traditional Chinese Medicine at my Kung Fu school at the time, "Meshkah Martial Arts School" founded by Taha Hassouna, to become an instructor in these arts (Qigong, Tai Chi, and Shaolin Kung Fu) and other arts (WingTsun, Muay Chaiya, and Eskrima Maranga), as well as a Chinese Medicine therapist.

 

Currently, I continue my training in Shaolin between Madrid, where I am part of the Wushen Team at the Shaolin Wushen Academy founded by David Carvalho, and China, at the Shaolin Temple. This last summer, I received an award from the Abbot of the temple for good and strong achievement during the classes. In TaiChi I continue my training with Sifu Liang De Hua founder of the Chuan Cheng Taijiquan and Internal Arts Academy.

 

Beyond martial arts, I hold a PhD in Gender and Emotions in Contemporary Saudi Novels Written by Women. This academic path has led me to develop an interest in Transpersonal Psychology, taking courses in the field, and in Astrological Therapy, where I ultimately trained with Fernando Aldaz.

 

My current work is based on integrating all the knowledge I have acquired through life experience, my travels, my teachers, the people I have encountered along the way, and my classes in dance, movement, and martial arts. My goal is to convey to my students the importance of feeling within their movement, aligning their body structure to connect with it, and developing physical, mental, and spiritual awareness to strengthen that connection and add quality to movement—not just from a technical perspective, but from their own INNER FLOW
