Following many years of having an interest in the area of personal development and growth, I discovered the discipline of coaching in May 2021, and that opened my eyes to a whole world of possibilities, so much so that I decided to do a Master's degree in Coaching with Emotional Intelligence and Neuro-Linguistic Programming at D'Arte Human & Business School in 2021/22.

In 2022/23, I continued my training by deepening my knowledge of the enneagram, getting trained as an Expert in Enneagram at Autognosis school, and starting to incorporate the use of the enneagram in my coaching practice.

I'm really excited to present to you my perso-professional project, BinaryWords, where I share my thoughts on a variety of topics related to personal development and growth, and also offer my services as a Life Coach, to accompany you on your own journey of self-discovery and transformation.

In 2005, when I moved to Ireland, I started writing a blog sharing my experiences as a newcomer, and I continued to share as I went through different phases: my first pregnancy, my first daughter, my second... Then for one reason or another, my writing became less and less frequent as years went by, and by the time my third daughter was born, the blog had already fallen into oblivion.

Up until may 2021, when I got the itch again and resumed my path as a blogger, this time following a different approach. Thanks for reading me!
