I was born and raised in Bolivia — a country of breathtaking beauty and deep contradictions. From a young age, I was drawn to these contradictions: between cultures, between privilege and suffering, and between inner life and outer systems. I grew up in a family of engineers and later became an engineer myself. That training gave me a strong, structured way of thinking that has supported my deeper work ever since.

I specialised in business and initially focused on development in the Global South, which became one of the main threads of my professional life. I deepened my knowledge in development aid, monitoring, and evaluation, and after my studies in Germany I chose to stay there, working in poverty reduction as a researcher, consultant, and deputy in monitoring and evaluation.

Through my observations of collective processes, I was led to study trauma from different modalities and perspectives. Somatic Experiencing helped me integrate this diverse knowledge — engineering, development work, and trauma awareness — into a coherent, embodied practice. Integrating these approaches led me to focus on the “relational architecture” of organisations and individuals, recognising that we are all interwoven within a larger ecosystem.

Today I live Salzburg, Austria, and I work as a consultant and coach with leaders, practitioners, and organisations who feel called to tap into the potential that is often unseen because of disorganisation, fragmentation, and unprocessed wounds. I support organisations to become more conscious, coherent, and compassionate places to work, where relationships and structures are held with care and clarity. This work is for those willing to stay with complexity, discomfort, and relational honesty over time.

My deepest desire is to contribute to this “compassionate ability” to respond — to what happens within me, around me, and among us. Having travelled and lived in places marked by profound wounds — such as poverty, war, and unintegrated history — I recognise that I am deeply committed to this work.

If you feel called to explore the relational architecture of your organisation or your own embodied response-ability, I warmly invite you to reach out for a conversation.
