My name is Emma. I was born in a village near Barcelona and studied Psychology at university. I am right now studying Familiar Constellations in order to combine and use the knowledge in my work with plant medicine.
During my Psychology studies, I specialised in neuropsychology and started to come into contact with psychoactive substances in my fourth year through psychopharmacology courses. However, I didn't connect with the therapeutic potential of the therapies we were being taught. I saw that they were based on highly mental, slow, and shallow strategies. I realised that quite often, people go to therapy for many years without really getting to the root of their trauma, either because they deceive themselves and the therapist, or because they don't have the tools to see, remember, and start healing what happened to them.
It it was a few years later, while travelling through Latin America, that I truly connected with the healing power and potential of master plants in a way that completely changed my life and my relationship with psychotherapy.
First in Nicaragua and then in Colombia, I had the opportunity to live near communities that were deeply connected to sacred plants. Thus, I began my own healing journey in a beautiful and profound process that made me reconnect with psychology and therapy in a completely different way than what I had been shown at university. I could see the extent to which plants can help people truly heal their traumas from the root, from the depths of their being. I could see the suffering that we accumulate by growing up in this society, and the need to work for mental health and collective healing. And I could see the role I could play as a guide in these sacred spaces, where the greatest work is done by the person and the plant, being able to offer my guidance, support and love before, during, and after the ceremony.
Since that first connection with teacher plants, I started studying them and accompanying ceremonies and retreats. I have witnessed profound healing experiences, empowerment, and life changes, and it is my biggest goal, mission, and honour being able to support in this beautiful journey towards growth and healing.
Bachelor in Psychology
Bachelor in Psychology at the Autonomous University of Catalonia, with the 4th year specialisation in health and neuropsychology.
Training in Familiar Constellations
Training in progress. Studying the orders of love, relationships and life. Looking at the family of origin and the conditions when growing up to understand the behavioral patterns that we have as adults. How to heal trauma by understanding its origin, accepting ir, aknowledging it, thanking it and moving on.
Training as a facilitator with plant medicine
Since I first traveled to Colombia 4 years ago until now, I have been studying and training in informal settings in order to accompany in ceremonies with plant medicine. My project partner, Gloria, has taught me nearly everything I know, and together we have created this project to accompany and empower more women, to guide them towards healing, liberation, peace and growth.
