PhD in Biomedicine · Emotional Regulation · Breathwork · Live MusicFrom the biomedical field to the question science couldn't answer
For over a decade I worked in biomedical research and molecular biology studying the mechanisms of cancer and cellular behaviour. Over time I came to understand that making sense of suffering intellectually does not always produce real change in the way we live, feel or relate to ourselves.
That search led me to integrate neuroscience, contemplative practices, conscious breathing and somatic work into an approach centred on emotional regulation and mind-body integration.
Today I accompany individual and group processes where music, presence and work with the nervous system help integrate emotional patterns that often persist even after years of personal development work.
When understanding was no longer enough
I hold a PhD in Molecular Biology and spent more than a decade in biomedical research studying the cellular mechanisms of cancer. That path gave me a deep understanding of how the human body works biologically, but it also confronted me with a question that transformed my personal and professional direction:
Why do so many people understand perfectly what makes them suffer and yet remain trapped in the same emotional patterns?
What I found was that intellectual understanding alone rarely produces deep, lasting change. The body and the nervous system also need to participate in the process.
This search led me to integrate neuroscience, contemplative practices, breathwork, interoception and somatic work into an approach centred on emotional regulation and mind-body integration. For over a decade I have guided people through emotional integration in different countries across Europe and the Americas, working with people experiencing anxiety, chronic stress, emotional blocks or a persistent sense of disconnection from themselves.
Music as a tool for emotional integration
Music is central to my work. Through live instruments, breathing, silence and presence, I create experiences that help reduce mental overactivity and allow the body to process emotions and inner states that often cannot be resolved through words alone.
Music is not used as entertainment or escapism, but as a tool for deep emotional regulation and integration — one that is directly connected to the nervous system.
