What exactly happens in a session?+
First I ask you where you are, what you need, what your goal is.
Most people send me an email before the session, so we already have that when we begin.
Then I read how your body is organized in gravity: posture, compensations, tensions, and where the real origin of the pattern seems to be.
From there I work the layers that are involved: structure, nervous system, energy, and the mental-emotional dimension.
Each session lasts between 60 and 90 minutes.
I don't follow a fixed protocol. The session depends on what your system shows and needs in that moment.
How do I prepare for the first session? What do I bring?+
In-person session:
Comfortable clothing that lets you move. Shorts or leggings, top or t-shirt. Cotton if possible.
No perfume, deodorant, or strong scents. Body scent carries information about the system; external aromas mask it.
You don't need to come fasting, but it's better not to arrive with a heavy meal just before.
If you have relevant medical reports (MRIs, blood tests, diagnoses), bring them.
Online session:
A space where you have two or three meters of movement.
Good lighting so I can see you clearly.
Good wifi and a charged battery (phone or computer) so the session doesn't drop.
Comfortable clothing, same as in-person.
In both formats, just come as you are. The first session starts with a conversation, not with technique.
How is this different from conventional Rolfing?+
I started as a Rolfer more than 20 years ago, but the work has evolved a lot.
Today I include the structural reading of Rolfing, but also visceral osteopathy, nervous system regulation, Japanese acupuncture, energy work, and mental-emotional reading.
It is not pure Rolfing.
It is a reading of the whole system.
Does online work have the same depth as in-person?+
Yes. Online work has the same depth and can produce the same kind of reorganization.
Structural reading, nervous system regulation, energy work, and movement guidance work very well at a distance.
What changes is not the depth of the work, but the format: online there is no direct manual contact.
Some people prefer a more physical session, but most adapt without a problem to the available format when they are looking for a solution and the work makes sense.
When it is necessary or fits better, we organize in-person intensives in Barcelona.
What is your training? Are you certified?+
I am a Rolfer certified by the European Rolfing School (Munich).
After that, more than 20 years training with masters in Germany, Japan, Mexico, Malaysia, Thailand, and the United States.
Visceral osteopathy with Jean-Pierre Barral, Alain Croibier, and Peter Schwind.
Japanese acupuncture in Japan.
Nervous system regulation, energy work, and mental-emotional dimension with different masters over the years.
The training hasn't stopped. Every client and every case keeps teaching me.
How much does it cost to work with you?+
I work with single sessions and processes.
A single session starts at €180 + VAT.
The first session as entry to the process costs €360 + VAT.
After that first session, if it makes sense to continue, we define the right format.
The 6-month process is usually between €360 and €600 + VAT per month, depending on the case and the level of accompaniment needed. Sessions are usually weekly or biweekly.
The process is paid in advance before starting.
Why a 6-month process and not single sessions?+
Because when the body has been compensating for years, one session can bring relief, but it usually does not reorganize the whole pattern.
The usual process is 12 sessions: 2 per month over 6 months.
At month three we assess whether it makes sense to continue to the sixth month or to close the process.
Single sessions can work for one-off cases.
For chronic patterns, I work better through a process. When someone comes only for one session there's no commitment: they have to decide each time whether to continue. For years I worked that way, but that format doesn't give the body the space it needs to change.
When you commit to a process, you can go to greater depth. The body understands it's a process and adapts to that language. The work becomes much more fluid.
What do I do between sessions? Is there homework?+
It depends on the case.
Sometimes I leave specific exercises: breathing, movements, attention to a particular pattern. A few things, very precise.
Other times the most important thing is to observe: how something changes, where it appears, what happens when the system starts to move.
It's not a task of doing exercises every day. It's a work of presence with your body between sessions.
If you need more, we define it according to what your case requires.
What results can I expect and when will I notice them?+
Usually there's some change from the first session: more space to breathe, less pain, a sense of axis.
The real question is whether those changes are the ones you expected them to be.
Often there's a big change in one session and the person creates the expectation that every session will be the same. Or they hear that someone achieved something important in a process —that maybe lasted a year— and they expect to reach the same place in a single session.
It doesn't work like that.
In a 6-month process, the pattern usually starts to move in the first 3 or 4 sessions, and the reorganization consolidates around the third or fourth month.
Each body has its own time.
I don't promise when you will notice concrete changes. What I can say is what I see in practice: processes that are completed usually show real and lasting reorganization.
It is not temporary relief. It is a change of organization.
Sometimes during the process there's what's called a healing crisis: the body releases layers that have been held for years, and there can be a moment of increased sensitivity, fatigue, or emotion before reorganization. It's part of the work, not a problem.
There are also year-long or two-year processes, and clients I work with regularly. The goal doesn't have to be waiting for a crisis to come. The most interesting work is often building a better balance when the person is already well.
Is this like massage or physiotherapy?+
No.
Massage usually works the muscle.
Physiotherapy usually works the injury.
Here we work the system: how your body is organized, why it compensates, what nervous pattern sustains the tension, and what needs to change so the body stops repeating the same thing.
Manual technique is only one tool.
What matters is the reading of the system.
Can I combine this work with my current physio, osteopath, or therapist?+
It depends on the case.
In general, yes. This work doesn't conflict with physiotherapy, structural osteopathy, or psychotherapy. They often complement each other well.
But there are nuances.
If you're in the middle of intensive treatment with another professional (post-surgery rehab, daily physio for an acute injury), it's better to talk about it first so we don't overlap stimuli.
If you're doing psychotherapy, this work addresses a different layer (the body and the nervous system) and usually supports the therapeutic process.
In the first 15-minute conversation we can look at your specific case.
Do you work with pregnancy, children, or older adults?+
Yes, with nuances depending on the case.
Pregnancy: I work with pregnant women and postpartum. There are specific adjustments by trimester and case.
Older adults: I work with people of any age. The precision and gentleness of the work make it suitable for more sensitive bodies as well.
Children and adolescents: from a certain age and always with the presence or consent of the parents. We assess each case together.
In the first 15-minute conversation we see if your case fits.
I have had chronic pain for years. Can this help?+
This work usually makes sense for people who have already tried several things: physiotherapy, osteopathy, chiropractic, massage, yoga, or training, but the pattern keeps coming back.
Not because those tools are wrong.
But because many times they work one part without reading the whole system.
If you have been in the same place for years, the best thing is to talk first for 15 minutes at no cost to see if it makes sense to work together.
Do you have to be in crisis to come?+
Most people relate to their body from emergency.
Something hurts.
Something blocks.
Something breaks.
Then they seek help.
The session brings relief. The body improves. The person goes back to their life.
Until the pattern returns.
Pain.
Session.
Relief.
Back to life.
New pain.
That is the old model: tending to the body only when it fails.
My work proposes another logic.
Not waiting for the system to scream to listen to it.
The body is not a machine that gets repaired when it breaks. It is a living system that organizes itself, adapts, compensates, and holds more than it seems.
When we work only the symptom, we often get relief.
But when we read the whole system, we can begin to change the organization that produces that symptom.
That's the shift.
It is not only about removing pain. It is about understanding why the body has had to organize itself this way.
It is not only about repairing. It is about building more ground, more margin, and more capacity to respond.
That is why I work more and more through processes.
A session can open something. A process allows reorganization.
The goal is not to depend on sessions each time a crisis appears.
The goal is that the body stops living so close to the crisis.
Most people think my work is to make people with pain or in crisis feel well. But my work is to make people who are well feel better.
When someone comes in crisis, I work with them too. It matters. But that work is containment: relieving, returning range, putting out the urgent.
Real reorganization needs something else. It needs a system that is not on alert. It needs margin.
That's why the finest work —and the most interesting— usually starts after the crisis. When there's no fire left to put out.
Because when you're not in crisis, you can focus on nurturing your passion and on reaching your dreams.
That's where the work really begins.
Do you work with executives, athletes, or creators?+
Yes. They are an important part of my work.
They have something in common: demand. They live close to the limit. They produce a lot. They need the body to sustain that level without breaking.
The executive deals with sustained pressure, constant decisions, jet lag. Their nervous system lives in activation.
The athlete trains, competes, recovers. They need more range, more precision, better reading of their signals.
The creator —writer, musician, artist, founder— lives between physical demand and mental anxiety. Peaks and dips. They need a system that sustains that rhythm without collapsing.
In all three cases they don't come to heal. They come to have more ground, more capacity to respond, more axis. To sustain better what they already do, and to go further.
That's the work I find most interesting.
How do I book a session?+
The first step is usually a 15-minute conversation by WhatsApp or video call to see if the work fits your case.
If it makes sense to continue, we book the first session.
The first session and the process are paid in advance. The payment confirms the booking.
