Work with me

How we can work together

Two 1:1 pathways: one through the body, one through the relationship between emotions, food and regulation, as single sessions or as a guided journey.

Nutritional coaching conversation focused on nourishment and self-trust

Emotional-eating 1:1 pathway

Emotional Eating & Body-Based Nutrition

A compassionate path for emotional eating, cravings and nourishment—without rigid rules or shame.

Also available as a guided journey of 4 or 6 sessions: The Body Behind the Craving 1:1.

More info

Emotional eating and cravings are not treated as failures of willpower. Together, we explore what food may be helping your system soothe, avoid, express or regulate—and what your body may actually be asking for in those moments.

The work brings together nutritional coaching, somatic awareness and nervous-system support. The aim is not another rigid food plan, but a more stable and compassionate relationship with nourishment, your body and your own signals.

  • Emotional eating and cravings
  • Stress, restriction and control patterns
  • Hunger, fullness and body-signal awareness
  • Nervous-system regulation around food
  • Practical, sustainable nourishment without shame

Who I am

How I arrived at this work.

My work comes from both training and lived experience.

Before arriving here, I spent years inside a very functional life: structure, responsibility, performance. From the outside everything seemed to hold. Inside, though, the body was telling another story.

Over time I began to see emotional overload, tension, disconnection, and also the way we relate to food as meaningful expressions: signals of a nervous system trying to adapt, protect itself, and ask to be met differently.

Holosomatic Bodywork was a turning point for me because it offered me a way to slow down and listen from within, instead of forcing change from the outside.

Today I work in that same spirit: intimate yet grounded, gentle yet clear. Through Embodika by Malù, my work brings together Holosomatic Bodywork, breathwork, somatic awareness and Authentic Relating to create spaces where the body can be listened to with presence, consent and care. I am a certified Holosomatic Bodywork practitioner and certified in Precision Nutrition, Level 1, and I offer sessions in Tenerife and online.

Testimonials

Stories from those who have experienced this work

IN ITALIAN

“It helped me reach a level of depth in the experience that I probably wouldn’t have reached otherwise.”

MARIELLA L.

IN ENGLISH

“She held the container very professionally. I could let go of tension stored in my body and really feel the difference afterwards”

LEO B.

Holosomatic Bodywork 1:1 · Written review

“I’ve experienced other bodywork sessions before, but this one was truly unique.”

Before the session, we had a 30-minute call during which she explained everything in detail. She was thorough, attentive, and made me feel completely at ease from the very beginning. […] She gently and intentionally expanded the edge of the experience, allowing the process to unfold naturally, without ever feeling forced. Throughout the session, many emotions arose, and by the end I felt a deep sense of lightness and inner spaciousness.

Questions

Questions you may have

What happens in a Holosomatic Bodywork session?

A session begins with a short check-in to understand what is present for you physically, emotionally, and mentally. From there, we work with the body through somatic awareness, grounding, movement, breath, Conscious Connected Breathwork when appropriate, and conscious touch with prior consent. The pace follows your body, your boundaries, and your nervous system.

Is touch always included?

No. Touch is optional, consent-based, and always guided by clear communication. Some sessions include conscious touch and some do not. Before any touch-based part of the work, we clarify what feels appropriate, what does not, and what your body needs. You can say no, pause, adjust, or stop at any time.

What role does breathwork have in a session?

Breath can become a doorway into the body: a way to slow down, sense what is present, and support the nervous system with more awareness. When appropriate, I may also integrate Conscious Connected Breathwork practices.

It is not forced or the same for everyone: the breath is guided according to your rhythm, your boundaries, and your nervous system. It may be combined with grounding, movement, body awareness, and conscious touch with prior consent.

Do I need to know what to talk about?

No. You do not need to arrive with a clear story, explanation, or goal. We can begin from what is present in the body: tension, numbness, emotion, breath, restlessness, or simply the sense that something needs attention.

Is this therapy?

No. Holosomatic Bodywork is not psychotherapy and does not replace medical or psychological care. It is a body-based, trauma-informed space that can support self-awareness, regulation, emotional processing, and reconnection with the body.

Can I work with you online?

Yes. In-person sessions take place in my space or at your home. Home sessions within Tenerife South have a €15 supplement per session. For other locations, any additional travel cost will always be agreed in advance. Online sessions are available when appropriate. Body awareness, grounding, breathwork, integration, Nutritional Coaching, and body-food exploration can all be supported online. Touch-based bodywork sessions happen in person.

Which kind of support is right for me?

If you want to work mainly through the body, begin with Holosomatic Bodywork 1:1. If stress, emotions, cravings and nourishment feel closely connected, Emotional Eating & Body-Based Nutrition may be the better starting point. If you recognise a pattern with food that keeps repeating and want to work on it step by step, The Body Behind the Craving 1:1 offers a guided journey of 4 or 6 sessions. We can also explore this together during the free call.

What happens in the free call?

The free call is a simple first conversation. We speak about what you are moving through, what kind of support you are looking for, and whether this work feels right for you. You do not need to prepare anything.
