A bit about me

Hi, I'm Manuel.

Originally from Cartagena, Spain, my journey took a transformative turn when I shifted from a career in Civil Engineering to pursuing my true calling in emotional well-being after a profound personal experience. Trained in Australia, India, and Thailand, I now guide individuals through personalized programs that integrate mind, body, and spirit using counselling, coaching, and clinical hypnosis.

I’ve had the privilege of running a successful family day care business, La Aldea, where I learned firsthand the critical needs of parents in today’s society. As a single parent myself, I understand the increasing challenges we face in raising children in an ever-more isolated world, where trusted support and references are often hard to find. Through my work with children and families, I witnessed the lack of resources for parents and the emotional strain they often face in their journey of parenting.

In addition to my practical experience, I hold training in Education, Community Services, Counselling, and Hypnotherapy. This combination of education and personal growth has given me the tools to create meaningful transformations in the lives of those I work with.

Having walked the path of emotional upheaval myself, particularly through the challenges of being a separated parent, I feel deeply committed to helping others navigate similar transitions.

My journey has been anything but linear—transitioning from engineering to education, to healing work, and now to therapeutic coaching. Each chapter has brought me closer to who I truly am, and to what I believe truly matters: connection, meaning, and supporting others in their personal growth.

As one of my clients shared: Working with Manuel changed everything for me. His compassionate guidance helped me regain confidence and reconnect with my children.

How I Work

I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Each person is unique, so I create tailored plans based on your individual story and challenges. My process includes:

  • Listening deeply to your experience
  • Understanding your emotional and practical challenges, including parenting
  • Designing a personalized plan focused on emotional healing, goal-setting, and effective strategies
  • Using a blend of counselling, coaching, and hypnotherapy — alongside mindfulness, breathing exercises, and other tools — to support your full well-being

One client said: From the very first sessions, I felt lighter. Manuel helped me gain clarity and move forward with calm and strength.
