Anxiety
Your chest tightens, your thoughts race, and the advice you know by heart disappears.
TRAUMA-INFORMED HOLOSOMATIC BODYWORK • FOR ANXIETY THAT LIVES IN THE BODY
The body holdswhat the mind cannot process.
Anxiety doesn’t pass with a breathing trick. You learn to go through it.
Hi, I’m Malù.
I’ve lived the kind of anxiety where you can’t think, can’t move, can’t breathe. Now I help people go through it, with the body.

You’ve probably already tried...
- Breathing apps
- Meditation
- Shaking videos
- “Just relax”
- “Think positive”
And they help, on a calm day. But when anxiety really hits, none of it reaches you. That’s not your fault. In that moment, the part of your brain that follows instructions goes offline.
If this sounds like you
Always on alert
From the outside you’re fine. Inside, you never really switch off.
Overwhelm
Everything at once, too much, too fast. And no way to slow it down.
Shutdown
Numb, flat, far away from yourself. Your body has pulled the brake.
Fight or flight
Rushing, bracing, overthinking. Even rest feels like work.
Food
When stress ends up at the fridge. See how we can work on it
Begin here.
Work with me
How we can work together
Two 1:1 pathways: one for anxiety, through the body; one for your relationship with food and cravings.
Signature 1:1 journey for anxiety & stress
The Way Through
Through, not around.
Not another technique to make anxiety stop. A 1:1 journey where your body learns, step by step, to stay with itself, even on the hard days.
More info
When anxiety really hits, the thinking brain goes offline. You can’t think, you can’t move, you can’t breathe. That’s why “just breathe” doesn’t work in that moment.
The Way Through is trauma-informed and works with the body. In sessions, through Holosomatic Bodywork, breath and conscious touch, your body learns the way back to safety.
Between sessions, the work doesn’t stop. You get personalised practices for everyday life, and you can share what’s coming up with me on WhatsApp, Monday to Friday.
Nothing is forced. Touch is always optional and agreed with you beforehand.
What’s included:
- Holosomatic Bodywork sessions, in person in Tenerife or online
- Personalised practices for everyday life: short and simple, chosen for you after each session, so the work continues in your real life
- WhatsApp support between sessions, Monday to Friday
1:1 journey · Emotional eating & cravings
What Your Hunger Is Asking
A compassionate path for emotional eating, cravings and nourishment—without rigid rules or shame.
A 1- or 3-month journey: 3 sessions in the first month, then 2 a month, with Rewire Your Cravings in 7 Days, your craving diary, personalised practices and a weekly WhatsApp check-in. Or a single session. See fees.
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
The journey follows the structure of my group course, The Body Behind the Craving, adapted to you and your rhythm.

Three things I believe about anxiety.
Before
Practices are training, not a rescue button. We use everyday life to teach your body the way back.
Through
Anxiety doesn’t switch off. You learn to stay with it, safely, until it moves.
Consent
Nothing is forced. Your body, your pace, your yes and your no lead the work.
What changes when you stop running from it.
You stop dreading the next wave.
You know what to do when it comes.
You trust your body again.
You stop blaming yourself for not “calming down”.
“The attempt to escape from pain, is what creates more pain.”
Gabor Maté
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 facilitator and certified in Precision Nutrition, Level 1, and I offer sessions in Tenerife and online.

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.”

“She held the container very professionally. I could let go of tension stored in my body and really feel the difference afterwards”
LEO B.
1:1 sessionHolosomatic Bodywork
“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.

“I had a group session with Malu, she is a great facilitator!”
Held space for us to breath combining cycles of activation with integration. I specially loved that mix so I felt grounded all the time. She also touched my body and guide me softly. She was also a great host making us feel welcome. I highly recommend her and her work. Thank you so much for this experience, looking forward to the next one ✨💚

“My body could flow and allow me to feel deeply what I need to feel.”
For me it was the first time that I had an experience with the holosomatic breathing. It was really beautiful to be guided by Malu, with her clear instructions, taking care of the whole group with really kindness, making us feel really care and confident in the process. The music was perfect. The experience had some ups and down that take me to the right place. My body could flow and allow me to feel deeply what I need to feel. Thanks a lot Malu!your energy is beautiful and I felt very confident being guided by you through the experience. I hope to see you soon again

“She has a powerful yet soft way of leading the group.”
I really loved the group session with Malu. She has a powerful yet soft way of leading the group. Instead of a big explosive Breathwork session I found myself meeting different parts that were asking for integration. After I felt softer & more connected to myself. Malu has a beautiful intuitive way of guiding and I felt her touch lands exactly where the body needs support 🤍

“It was truly beautiful and liberating.”
I had a 1:1 session with Malu, where we worked with breathwork and somatic bodywork.
I highly recommend her! Malu gives you her undivided attention, is such a warm and caring person, creates a safe space and listens very attentively.
The session itself was a deeply releasing experience for me. I felt a lot of tension leaving my body. It was truly beautiful and liberating. ❤️

“There is an immediate feeling of safety.”
The space Malù creates is so thoughtfully held and cared for that there is an immediate feeling of safety. Her awareness and ability to gently notice things within me that I hadn’t quite recognised myself allowed me to be with my sadness and anger in a way that felt very natural and unforced. There was no need to change or make those feelings any smaller or bigger than they were. They could simply exist, exactly as they were. I found this incredibly valuable, and I’m so grateful for the space Malù creates.

Start the courseWhat people say about it
“After just a few days, I noticed I wasn’t opening the fridge on autopilot like before.”
“I decided to take this course because I realised I often ate on autopilot, especially when I was stressed or bored. I really loved it because it helped me pause for a moment and listen to what I actually needed.
The best part is that after just a few days, I noticed I wasn’t opening the fridge on autopilot like before. Not always, but much more often I was able to make a conscious choice, without feeling guilty.
It’s a simple, practical course and not judgemental at all. I really recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their relationship with food in a gentle, realistic way.”
“At first I practised it following the reminders, then I noticed the pause had started to live inside me.”
“This course was like a small breath inside every day. As if someone were telling me: ‘Wait a moment… stop and feel what is really inside you’, but with a disarming kindness.
What changed me most was the pause. At first I practised it following the reminders, then I noticed it had started to live inside me: every time I thought about food, I could create that space for listening instead of reacting automatically. It gave me much more awareness and taught me to approach my cravings with curiosity, not judgement.
I liked it so much that I decided to do the course a second time. For me it wasn’t just a 7-day course, but a gentle guide to come back to whenever I need to reconnect with my body. I’m truly grateful for this course and for everything it left me with.”
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.
How does WhatsApp support work?
Between sessions, you can share with me what’s coming up: what you notice in your body, questions about your practices, moments that felt hard. I reply Monday to Friday, within the same working day. It’s support for the work between sessions, not a crisis or emergency service: if you’re in danger, please use the emergency numbers at the bottom of this page.
Which kind of support is right for me?
If anxiety and stress are what bring you here, begin with The Way Through. If you’d like to try the work once first, book a one-off session. If your struggle is mainly with food and cravings, look at What Your Hunger Is Asking, as a 1- or 3-month journey or a single session. We can also explore this together in 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.
Begin with a conversation
Let’s talk about what’s really going on.
