together will try to get the solution.”
A lifetime dedicated to birth
From a very young age, I knew birth would define my life's work. Growing up next door to an obstetrician who championed natural birth — one who later opened one of Spain's first hospital birth centres, Hospital Acuario — I was immersed in a world that trusted women's bodies deeply.
My earliest memory is of my mother's home birth. I was four years old, and I still carry the feeling of that room: the peace, the calm, the quiet joy. That moment planted the seed of everything I do today.
My journey to London
I qualified as a nurse in Spain in 2005, working across a wide range of specialties before returning to that same birth centre (Hospital Acuario) to support women through physiological birth. In 2010, I moved to London and continued as a nurse while pursuing my long-held dream of becoming a midwife.
In 2015, I completed my Postgraduate Diploma in Midwifery at City University of London and began the career I had always envisioned. I then spent eight years at The Barkantine Birth Centre — a freestanding birth centre outside of any hospital — developing the clinical confidence, independence, and depth of care that now defines my practice.
