About the Teacher

Why study with them?

Hi, my name is Iris.
I see myself as somebody who moved from modern western science to work and live a more holistic style, understanding the combination of both as a way to lived the life in balance.
From Spain, a lover of travel, I have spent many years of my adult life travelling around different parts of the world.
I studied Pathological Anatomy and Cytology in Spain working in various hospitals as well as research work for six years in inmuno-neuroscience laboratories.
Spending one year in Australia, I worked as a massage therapist actively learning from experienced Chinese, Japanese, Korean professionals, an absolutely wonderful learning experience! One that marked the beginning of my passion.
Since then I haven’t stopped to get deep in bodywork techniques, doing Yoga courses and different styles of massage therapies trainings like Thai Massage, Dynamic Thai Massage, Shiatsu, Wuo Tai, Craniosacral and Lomi Lomi Nui, doing a combination of the different styles with the goal to offering the best of myself in each therapy.
I became a massage therapist because I believe that treating the physical body is a way to help people to bring their own healing to the non-physical body.

Renewed sense of possibilities, support, hope, kind presence and calming grounding energy
Talking with Iris gave me a renewed sense of possibilities, hope, inner peace, and calm.

I really appreciate her so much for sitting and chatting with me when I was feeling overwhelmed, until late into the evening. It felt very supportive to have a conversation with someone (like you might a friend) in a way that I do not get that much in my normal life on topics I am struggling with and from someone who has lived experience finding solutions for them. I found her practical guidance especially around living in Malta, Portugal, and in communities from personal experience super useful and insightful. Her offer of continued support is very much appreciated. I can tell she really cares about helping people.

I just wish I had been able to record the conversation, to remind myself of everything that was said.

Some of the general ideas I had heard before, but hearing them once again from someone else, who deeply understands and has had a similar lived experience, and others at the retreat allowed the truth to land more fully this time. It moved from something I understood intellectually to something I now believe and feel on a deeper, more embodied level.

Thank you for your kind presence and calming grounding energy at the retreat, and for your expertise and intuition with the massage which are nothing like I have experienced before in any massage.

I have left with a lot of hope that what I need to thrive in life is actually possible to achieve and practical ideas of how to get there.
