HELLO THERE!
If you landed here, you might be looking to deepen your connection with language, explore new, more embodied ways of learning, or embark on a journey of personal growth, self-realisation or transformation.
I’m a Spanish language teacher, embodied language coach, trauma-informed educator, language teacher trainer, and poetry therapy practitioner, and I’m thrilled to share this unique blend of services with you.
Who I Work With
My approach is ideal for:
- Spanish language learners looking to express themselves more confidently and authentically in Spanish through a trauma-informed and decolonial approach that combines neuroeducation techniques, mindfulness, embodiment, therapeutic conversations and expressive writing.
- Teachers and educators seeking trauma-informed training and tools to create safe, compassionate, inclusive spaces.
- Individuals on a journey of personal growth, self-realisation or transformation interested in using expressive writing as a therapeutic outlet for self-reflection, creative expression, and emotional healing.
Whether you’re here to learn Spanish, transform your teaching practices, or explore poetry as a path to healing, I offer a safe, welcoming space tailored to your individual needs.
Services Offered
1. Spanish Language Teaching & Embodied Language Coaching
Learning a language is not just about vocabulary or grammar—it’s about connection, culture, and expression. As a Spanish language teacher, I integrate embodied coaching methods to help you:
- Learn Spanish in a natural, immersive way that aligns with how you learn best.
- Overcome speaking anxieties or conditioning by connecting to language through movement, mindfulness, therapeutic conversation and expressive writing.
- Discover techniques that incorporate body awareness, helping language come alive in a way that feels effortless and organic.
Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your skills, my sessions create a supportive space where language feels accessible and alive.
2. Trauma-Informed Education & Teacher Training
Creating a safe, nurturing learning environment is essential—especially in today’s world. As a trauma-informed educator and teacher trainer, I help teachers, educators, and coaches:
- Understand trauma’s impact on learning, engagement, and behaviour.
- Develop skills to foster inclusive, empathetic classrooms where all students feel seen, heard, and respected.
- Implement mindful techniques that reduce stress for both educators and learners.
My trauma-informed approach offers practical tools to manage the challenges of teaching in diverse settings, ensuring that all learners are given the chance to thrive.
3. Poetry Therapy & Creative Self-Expression
Poetry offers a powerful way to access emotions, insights, and parts of ourselves that may be hard to reach with words alone. As a poetry therapy practitioner, I guide individuals through the therapeutic and creative process of engaging with poetry. Together, we:
- Use writing as a way to process emotions, heal from past experiences, and build resilience.
- Explore existing poems or create new works that reflect your personal story, strengths, and journey.
- Engage with the practice of writing and reading poetry as a source of inner peace, self-discovery, and renewal.
This practice is open to anyone—no prior writing experience is needed. It’s simply a way to explore language as a mirror and outlet for your inner world.
How to Get Started
Every journey begins with a conversation. I’d love to get to know you and your goals to help guide you toward the right path. Please feel free to reach out for an initial consultation or to ask any questions. Whether you’re here to learn, grow, or heal, I’m honoured to support you along the way.
Welcome —I look forward to walking with you!
Let's keep in touch
Get on my email list to receive occasional letters containing essays about language, learning, mindfulness and embodiment practices related to language. I also share interviews with people in those fields, occasional personal updates and, from time to time, I’ll invite you to sign up for my courses or remind you that I teach classes and am a hireable language coach and mentor.
Your ideas resonate with me because I’m also currently exploring a somewhat similar path in my own language teaching and coaching practice. I guess I can say (at least in my context) I’m taking the road less traveled, and sometimes I can’t help but feel alone. It can be disheartening at times. So I was so comforted when I found your blog some months ago. Oh dear, I even find myself crying while reading some of your blog posts and newsletters. So I hope you keep writing. You are doing amazing!
