Frode Huse Gjendem

I am originally from Norway and have been living in Barcelona since 2001. After a long career in consulting, where I supported leaders in achieving meaningful change, I became aware of a deep imbalance in my own life. This led me to seek support to rebuild myself—and it soon became clear that I wanted to make a professional shift toward accompanying others on their personal journeys. I have trained in Gestalt Therapy, Somatic Sexual Therapy, Integrative Personal Development, Meditation, and Mindfulness—combining rational, emotional, bodily, and psycho-spiritual approaches. I’ve been practising various forms of meditation since the age of 14, and when combined with silence, I believe these are two essential tools for learning and deepening the path toward continuous self-listening. As a therapist, I believe in healing and growth through a safe and attuned relational space, and in finding balance among personal, professional, and spiritual needs. I also bring this awareness into the retreats I guide, ensuring that participants feel held and supported throughout their process.

Rúbia Piancastelli

My yogi journey started on 2015 in Brazil, my home country. Since 2019, already living in Spain, I've been teaching groups and individuals as a yoga instructor (registered by Yoga Alliance). Trained in Gestalt therapy (2021 - 24) and the Enneagram (Claudio Naranjo's SAT program, 2016 - 25), I've also integrated the yoga as a holistic resource in my psychotherapist work. I offer practices that combines energetic yoga types (Ashtanga and Vinyasa) with restorative approaches (Yin). The aim is to promote and improve physical health, mental clarity, and spiritual well-being through a combination of the postures (asanas), breathing (pranayama) and meditation (consciousness). I'm also experienced at Vipassana Meditation, as Taught by S.N. Goenka in the Tradition of Sayagyi U Ba Khin, from Myanmar. Animals and nature lover, I deeply enjoy organising and participating in retreats, guiding practices and cooking :)
