“Nature is the Master Teacher of beauty, harmony, and health. It is also our mirror, our medicine, and our guide.”

My Journey: From the Mountains of the Basque Country to Regenerative Leadership

I was born in the mystical Basque Country, surrounded by forests, rituals, and the timeless embrace of mountains. In my family home—filled with designers, makers, and thinkers—beauty was never superficial. It was sacred.

From a young age, I was drawn to how environments made us feel—how light could soothe, how color could uplift, how the shape of a room could hold a person in safety or inspiration. I grew up intuitively sensing the soul of space, carrying a deep love for taking care of people through design.

Years later, I moved to Belgium, where I pursued formal studies in design and built a multifaceted career that spanned over two decades. I created and led several successful fashion retail businesses, becoming known not only for aesthetic vision but for transforming commercial spaces into emotionally resonant experiences.

I also worked as a trainer, consultant, and educator, helping others refine their leadership, strategy, and customer journeys. But even amid all this success, there was a quiet voice in me—calling me back to something deeper.

The Awakening: Design as Healing, Nature as Guide

The turning point came with a growing realization:
We’ve forgotten the soul of design.

We’ve built homes that numb us, schools that exhaust us, and offices that steal our vitality. We’ve designed for speed and surface—forgetting rhythm, rest, and relationship.
I felt a profound call to shift—from functionality to feeling, from aesthetics to aliveness.

I began a new journey into biophilic design, environmental psychology, neuroscience, and the healing intelligence of nature.
I relocated to Valencia, embraced a more grounded, nature-connected life, and deepened my work through the Bioleadership Fellowship, aligning myself with the regenerative rhythms of living systems and the emerging future.

Today, I no longer define myself only as a designer.
I am a weaver—of nature and culture, science and soul, inner and outer transformation.

Why I Created Habitarmonia

I created Habitarmonia Academy and the Habitarmonia Ecosystem to share everything I’ve learned—and everything I continue to discover.

I saw the gap: design education was fragmented, overly technical, and disconnected from what truly matters.
There was no space that honored intuition, evidence-based science, creativity, and care—all at once.
So I built one.

Habitarmonia is more than a school. It’s a movement, a community, and a sanctuary for people who feel the call to design with life, for life.

We offer:

• Deep learning through biophilic and well-being design courses

• A global community of like-minded visionaries

• A space to co-create, heal, and imagine new ways of living and working

• A return to design that restores, reconnects, and regenerates

What I believe:

“Design is more than aesthetics—it is an active force that shapes our consciousness, well-being, and interactions. Thoughtfully crafted spaces can enhance safety, elevate mood, strengthen relationships, and amplify the value of our most significant investments—our homes and businesses. Beyond what we see, design influences how we think, feel, and behave, weaving together science, energy, and emotion to create environments that don’t just serve us, but elevate us.”

At Habitarmonia, we believe that:

• Design is a form of care—for people and the planet

• Our bodies and nervous systems deserve spaces that nourish, not drain

• Education should be experiential, embodied, and inclusive

• Every space can become a healing environment—no matter the budget

• We are not separate from nature—we are nature designing

Our Collective Work

The Habitarmonia ecosystem brings together practices from:

• Biophilic & Well-being Design

• Environmental Psychology & Sensory Intelligence

• Regenerative Thinking & Bioleadership

• Neuroarchitecture & Embodiment

Whether you take a course, join a webinar, co-create a project, or simply read one of our guides—you are stepping into a movement that is remembering how to design with heart, with science, and with purpose.  

You’re Already Part of This Shift

If you’ve made it here, you’ve likely felt it too:
That quiet knowing that the way we design needs to change.
A longing for spaces that feel alive, not just functional.
A desire to live and create from a deeper, more connected place.

You’re not alone—and you’re not too late.
This is your invitation to become a co-creator in something more beautiful.
A world where design is in service to life, and where every space is a seed of possibility.

Let’s move beyond restoration—into regeneration,
where design is not just about what we create,
but how we belong, care, and grow together.
