Born in Mallorca in 2000. At the age of 15 I started studying nutrition and physical training on my own in order to lose more than 50 kg.
I got into calisthenics and bodyweight training despite not being able to perform the most basic exercises, but with the desire and perseverance to improve.
Different experiences I had during this physical change led me to begin studying physiotherapy at the age of 18.
In 2020 I discovered the discipline of Handbalance and it became a passion. Inmediately I decided that I wanted to become a professional and I started training with that goal. As there weren’t any teachers in this discipline in Mallorca, I had to train through online classes while I continued my studies in Physiotherapy. Desko Amat was my main teacher and guide during this 2 years of training.
Once I finished my degree, I began to travel around the world to take classes with more teachers as Maujara, Bud Tumurbataar, Badarch Erdenetsetseg, Nicolás Montes de Oca, Marie-Eve Dicaire or “Sasha” Alexander Gavrilov in order to expand my knowledge and meet other perspectives of this discipline. During that time I took the opportunity to give workshops and classes in different cities and countries.
Meanwhile, I started teaching calisthenics classes in different places because I discovered one of my passions: sharing my knowledge to help other people achieve their goals and save them the time and frustration that I had to go through.
GIVING UP IS NOT AN OPTION
