My digestion was impossible for the first 45 years of my life.

My first memories have to do with severe stomach pains, struggling with severe constipation and mishaps at school due to stomach problems and diarrhoea.

These problems were often accompanied by severe headaches and insomnia. Grandma’s  milk with brandy and sugar recipe didn’t do its magic when I drank it at 10yrs old.

During my 20s I changed my diet to vegetarianism to see if it would make any changes. Then to veganism.

The improvement did not come and my body showed more and more digestive problems, vomiting, headaches, fever, poisoning, skin conditions, allergies, muscles and joints.

I continued trying different ways of eating and hundreds of supplements.

Along this path I had the opportunity to receive help from various therapies until I reached Amanae, emotional liberation, which I began to receive in 2010 and then I began to learn, interested in the rapid and profound changes that I could appreciate.

I can say that right now I feel the most comfortable I have ever felt in my body. 

This body's digestion is normal, painless, and does what a healthy digestion is supposed to do: process what is ingested, receive the nutrition it needs and let out what is not needed.

This process, as it is, is what for so many years I couldn’t  do with my emotions and feelings.

This mind-body learned to take responsibility for processing emotions, feelings and situations that were not at all mine. That I didn’t have the capacity to process at all as a child. And doing this I assumed roles that were not my own.

As I was not able to “fix”, process or express these situations, feelings and emotions, this body kept them. They were so overwhelming that they remained trapped, blocked without being able to be “digested.”

Colloquial expressions such as having a knot, a hole, stones or butterflies in your stomach are a palpable description of the sensations that I experienced all the time and that many people experience too.

Amanae Emotional Release therapy was the click that made it possible for me to understand my body. To understand what this body/mind learned to do to protect me, to survive in the environment I grew up in and how that that was learned unconsciously was repeating as a cycle.

Emotional Release bodywork allowed me to see my digestive difficulties as the result of traumatic situations from my childhood.

The body does not need to be “fixed”, this body needs to be listened to.
