Retreat Location – Órgiva, Alpujarras, Andalusia
Nestled between the Sierra Nevada and the Sierra de Lújar mountains, Órgiva is more than just a village — it’s a meeting point for those in search of something deeper. Artists, healers, nomads, and seekers from all over the world have found their way here, drawn by something hard to name but easy to feel.
Surrounded by olive trees, mountain views, and ancient stillness, you are held by nature and spaciousness. Days follow a gentle rhythm: a morning on the terrace, one-to-one therapy, long walks, time alone. The land supports your inner process — not by distracting, but by allowing.

FAQ
-
A personal retreat is a one-on-one therapeutic immersion. You step out of daily life to slow down, reconnect, and go deeper into yourself. It’s not a holiday — it’s a sacred pause. We meet daily for therapy, and the rest of the time is yours for rest, silence, nature, and integration.
-
Retreats allow more time, space, and intensity. The depth we can reach in a week is often greater than months of weekly sessions. It’s a focused period of healing, insight, and presence. You leave not with a solution — but with more clarity, truth, and direction.
-
Each day includes a two-hour therapy session. The rest is unstructured: time to walk, journal, meditate, rest, or simply be. Meals are provided, and the natural setting supports your process. There may also be optional practices like embodiment, silence, or guided inquiry.

About me
I accompany individuals and couples on their journey of inner work, self-discovery, and emotional healing.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent over a decade working as a corporate lawyer in both large organizations and start-ups. Over time, a deeper call emerged—one that led me to begin my own path of inner exploration and transformation.
This calling brought me to psychotherapy. After five years of intensive training, I chose to fully dedicate myself to therapeutic work in 2016, and I have found it deeply fulfilling ever since.
As a therapist, my role is not to teach or lead, but to walk alongside my clients with presence, care, and respect.
I am also a wife, mother, and stepmother, and I know from lived experience how complex, beautiful, and challenging inner growth and human relationships can be.
I work primarily with international clients in both English and French. Individual sessions are mostly online, though I also meet clients in person in Andalucía, southern Spain. I offer retreats in Andalucía and engage in regular supervision to support and deepen my practice.
