MY STORY

Bilbao

I graduated in psychology from the University of Deusto (Bilbao) in 1991 and worked as a clinical psychologist in private practice until 1993. During my studies, I collaborated with the Medical Center for Educational Development (CEMEDETE) as a clinical assistant and in teaching, giving training workshops on psychomotor skills, rhythm and coordination.

United Kingdom

In 1993 I moved to the United Kingdom where I studied Osteopathy at the European School of Osteopathy (ESO, Maidstone, Kent), obtaining a BSc (Hons) 1st Class Degree in 1997. I worked as an osteopath in the UK in several private practices, collaborating with the ESO as a translator, assistant and clinical translator until 2000. I also collaborated with the Osteopathic Center for Children (London) and at the Gravesend Rugby Club (Gravesend, Kent).

Barcelona

In 2001, I moved to Barcelona and founded my own practice. I was part of the founding team of the Escola d'Osteopatía de Barcelona (EOB), which was later restructured as a Foundation in 2006. Since then, I have worked as a translator, assistant, and clinical tutor in pediatrics at the undergraduate level and in several postgraduate programs in pediatric osteopathy. I have also taught Functional Technique, Ligament Balancing Technique, Pediatric Osteopathy, and currently, Touch and Emotion: Psychological Considerations.

I belong to the Register of Osteopaths of Spain (ROE), a non-profit association that aims to bring together all those osteopathy professionals in Spain who, due to their academic level, meet the criteria specified by both the World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Federation of Osteopaths (EFFO).

I am also a member of the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC), which regulates osteopaths in the UK. The GOsC promotes and maintains the quality of healthcare for the benefit of patients, as well as the quality of osteopathic practice, by requiring continuing education and high standards of ethical and professional conduct.
