I'm Laia. In 2008, illnessbrought my life to a halt.
Today I help people get their energy and health back through food and yoga, always from a place of calm, step by step, in a way that fits their circumstances. But before I could teach it, I had to live it…
In 2008 I hit rock bottom. I'd had asthma, allergies and “chronic” bronchitis all my life, and on top of that other conditions developed, some of which needed surgery. Anxiety and deep sadness were frequent companions, and I also had problems with food.
I was 27 and I didn't want to settle for living like that. On paper I had “everything”: a secure job for life (I'd passed the civil service exams), I'd bought a flat… but I wasn't healthy, physically, emotionally or mentally. I'd felt for a long time that I needed a change, but I didn't know where to start. And exercise alone wasn't enough.
I'm curious by nature and always searching, and that's how I found macrobiotics, Eastern medicine, yoga and meditation. As soon as I put them into practice I began to feel the benefits. My allergies and asthma disappeared and I started to feel better, with more energy and far more mental clarity. I knew straight away this was my new path. I wanted to feel it and go deeper.

I went to live in the jungle in the Mexican Caribbean for 6 months, then spent 7 years in California, going deeper into nutrition, yoga and meditation. I trained in Macrobiotics at the Kushi Institute in Massachusetts. And what began as my own path to healing also became my profession.
In 2017 I came back to Valencia to be with my grandparents in their final years and share what I'd learned with them. And life kept taking me further afield: I worked in Qatar for a World Cup-winning footballer, I worked for Atlasfellow in Berkeley (California) and I was part of the nutrition team at SHA Wellness Clinic, one of the best-known wellness clinics.
I've never stopped learning since, and after more than 15 years living this first-hand, I've created this space to share it with you: a place where nutrition, cooking and yoga aren't separate disciplines but one way of looking after yourself.
