Hello! I am a nurse, graduated from the University of Vigo, and an expert in diabetes educational guidance. I have international experience, having worked for 5 years in the United Kingdom and subsequently as a technical consultant at Medtronic to bring technology closer to people with diabetes.
My approach combines my clinical training (Expert in Diabetes, Master's in NLP, Health Coaching) with a deep passion for listening to and accompanying people so they can recover their autonomy and health.
It means shifting from a state where "diabetes leads you" to one where you make the decisions about who you want to be. It involves challenging yourself, empowering yourself, and gaining autonomy and freedom. Leading means ceasing to be a passive patient and becoming the protagonist of your health, making decisions with confidence, clarity, and responsibility.
This guidance is for anyone seeking a holistic transformation in their health and wishing to lead their life. Specifically, it is designed for:
- People newly diagnosed with T1D or those already optimizing their Type 1 Diabetes.
- People with Prediabetes and T2D.
- Families and caregivers living with diabetes.
- Those facing major life changes (marriage, job change), stress, emotional burnout, or those wishing to improve their relationship with food.
- Healthcare professionals and companies seeking to improve well-being and care.
It is an integrative methodology born from combining Teleological Coaching, Functional Medicine, and Therapeutic Education. It focuses not only on numbers but on the person's bio-individual health, encompassing the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects.
The method seeks to clear your path, activate your internal resources, and create new, sustainable, long-term healthy habits. While it is not magic, it is defined as transformative.
The benefits are comprehensive and divided into several areas:
- Physical: Reduction of HbA1c, improved Time in Range, reduced insulin resistance, weight loss, and better sleep quality.
- Mental: Greater clarity in decision-making, reduced glycemic variability, and understanding of your patterns to stay ahead.
- Emotional: Reduction of fear, anxiety, and stress, as well as improved self-esteem and personal and professional relationships.
- Spiritual: Living with purpose, gaining autonomy, and achieving harmony between diabetes and personal life.
No, it is not psychological therapy, but it is a therapeutic process. It is an intervention methodology that uses positive psychology and coaching tools to foster self-knowledge, maturity, and proactivity. The goal is not just glycemic control, but discovering your potential to lead your self-care and face challenges with resilience.
Definitely, it is one of the central objectives. The method seeks to optimize your Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) and improve your Time in Range. Additionally, it focuses on reducing glycemic variability and insulin resistance. However, these numerical results are the natural consequence of integral care that encompasses the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual—not the sole goal.
