Life is a journey
And this is my story.

Seven years ago, I left a beautiful and very peaceful town in the coast of Barcelona to adventure into the land of dreams to fulfil my purpose: to creatively inspire others to have their best life possible by cultivating a healthy lifestyle, developing a curious mindset (through travel and spiritual practices) and encouraging purposeful careers that can ultimately better others, animals and the planet.

The first years felt like being on survival. Maintaining a Lifestyle in Los Angeles, CA was not easy but like any newbie in LA, it pushed me to hustle, become creative and make it work.  I enrolled on an entrepreneurship program at UCLA and simultaneously studied health coaching and reiki healing under a student visa. My vacation was an immersive yoga teacher training in Canggu, Bali. I was on an internal mission to self discovery.

My mature career in the US developed across the entire wellness industry: producing events/retreats, leading a community platform for holistic practitioners and managing partnerships at a ticketing platform focused on conscious event creators.

It was very dreamy. I got into surfing and my weekends where spend in Malibu while my vacations were now in warm water and health conscious destinations: Indonesia, Mexico, Australia, Costa Rica... Thats when I developed a sense of urgency to include sustainability practices into my initial mission.

Early 2018, my visa expired, I lost my job, had all my life belongings in America and experienced another break-up. At least I was in Bali again. I hired a business/career coach and she changed my life.

I saw the need for all the brands and practitioners I had been working for in the wellness and sustainability space to improve their storytelling through strategy, branding, partnerships and communication. Two years forward I´ve become a full-time nomad and have founded two creative wellness businesses - Leaveli, a creative digital agency focused on wellness + sustainability + The Template House a digital design platform for holistic businesses.

During my stays in California you’ll find me interviewing and telling stories about wellness and travel through Consciously Connected Travel.
