Who I am

How I arrived at this work.

My work comes from both training and lived experience.

For years I lived in a very functional way. From the outside everything held; inside, the body was telling another story.

Today, through Embodika by Malù, I bring together Holosomatic Bodywork, breathwork, somatic awareness and Authentic Relating in spaces held with presence, consent and care — in Tenerife and online.

Authentic Connection

How often do you say yes, when something in you wants to say something else?

Florence · Studio Soham

Co-facilitated with Micol, this experiential evening was inspired by Authentic Relating practices and created to explore authenticity with ourselves and with others. Through body-based exercises, relational practices, communication games and circle sharing, we invited participants to slow down, notice what was present, and practice a more honest way of meeting.

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 do I choose between the three offers?

If you want to work mainly through the body, start with Holosomatic Bodywork 1:1. If you want practical support around food, rhythm, and nourishment, choose Nutritional Coaching. If food, body image, emotions, control, and self-trust feel deeply connected, Body & Food Integration may be the best place to begin.

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.
