About Me
My Journey
Hi, I’m Sonia, I am originally from Galicia in Spain. I grew up in a small city surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean. Growing up, I did not have the opportunity of meeting different people and cultures, which is the opposite of the diversity and buzzing energy that I love about London.
The quest to look for a method of healing that made sense to me was the direct result of my own frustration with conventional treatment.
During my teens I started having panic attacks, sometimes I would faint. When I was 20 years old, I had a severe one that left me very shaken, so I went to the doctor. I was put in antidepressants straight away, with the treatment I felt NUMB, I was like a ROBOT without feelings, so I stop it.
I continued searching for a more comprehensive permanent solution, that could help me deal with my internal turmoil and my physical symptoms. It took me to different conventional and alternative therapies. I found my answer after an open-hearted and desperate call to a friend. She recommended a homeopath, and It CHANGED my life. The transformation was at all levels; it came from within without struggle. I had the energy and determination to be myself. I found what I was looking for and it made sense to me. After my first follow up I started studying it. I have been on this journey for more than 18 years. My passion for teaching, practising and sharing its benefits grows every day, with every patient.
