Calm, recognition and space

Every experience is personal. And yet certain words come back again and again: safety, calm, recognition, awareness and the feeling that there is nothing wrong with you.

Experiences with individual therapy

For people who carry a lot, spend a lot of time in their head, and notice that tension does not settle on its own.

“When I first walked into Nuria’s practice, I honestly had no idea what to expect.

I had never done therapy before, but during our very first conversation I immediately felt I was in the right place. She took the time to listen to me and gave clear, focused guidance.

Through specific exercises, she helped me get to know myself more deeply than ever before.

Because of that insight, I am doing much better now, and I have been given the tools I need to keep doing better.

Nuria taught me how to live more in the present. You cannot change the past and you cannot predict the future. That way of living brings me an enormous sense of calm and means I now act more from self-confidence and less from fear.

I used to say: everything will be okay. Through Nuria, I now say: everything is okay. For that, I am deeply grateful to her and to her practice, La Aurora.”

“Let me start with what matters most and thank you for everything you have done for me.

I am not someone who easily feels at ease with another person, and certainly not when it comes to talking about what is going on with me or how I feel. From the very beginning, you created a safe and trusted space where I could simply be myself.

During our conversations, you helped me begin to understand myself better and I learned what the effects of my traumas were and how they influenced me.

While I used to find myself strange because of the way I reacted to things and the way I moved through life, you showed me that there was nothing strange about me at all. You offered me different perspectives and helped me understand where my reactions were coming from.

Through our conversations, many pieces of the puzzle have fallen into place for me, which is making it easier to accept myself as I am. So once again, thank you.”

— Yves

“I am incredibly grateful for Nuria’s support during my burnout recovery.

She is a kind and empathetic therapist who truly takes the time to listen to you, without judgement. In a subtle way, she holds up a mirror, helping you arrive at new insights yourself.

Thanks to her support, I have taken important steps in my recovery. I cannot thank her enough and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for professional and compassionate guidance.”

— Ulla

“When I started with Nuria, I had lost myself … she helped me come back to myself, return to the deepest part of who I am, and put my energy into the things in life that truly matter.

She is a beautiful person, and I am deeply grateful for everything she has already meant to me.”

— Joëlle

“After years of traditional therapy, I came into contact with a more holistic perspective. That is how I found Nuria.

It simply felt like coming home. With Nuria, you are allowed to be yourself. She thinks and feels along with you, responds to what is present in the moment, and really takes her time.

She takes you by the hand and guides you through a healing process. I wholeheartedly recommend her.

I am still deeply grateful that Nuria crossed my path.”

— Dianne

“I have now been in therapy with Nuria for about a year, and after 34 years I have finally found someone who truly helps me.

Nuria is someone who brings calm and hope, and I immediately felt at ease with her. She knows what she is doing and helps you look for the treatment that is right for you. What I personally appreciate is that she also speaks from experience, so I never feel like I am the only one.

I have come a very long way, and I am deeply grateful for that. She is someone I truly look up to.”

— Indra

Experiences with couples therapy

For couples who notice that conversations keep getting stuck and the tension between them keeps building.

“I highly recommend Nuria.

I go to her for couples therapy, individual therapy and energy treatments.

She is always very kind, helpful and supportive, guiding me, and us, through the difficult moments we go through.

After almost three years of working together, I have travelled a long path in which she has had a great impact and has been a real source of support.

From a deep relationship crisis to working through childhood trauma. I am therefore very glad that I still continue to see her regularly.

One big difference I notice compared to conversations I have had elsewhere is that with Nuria I always walk away feeling that we truly did something in that session.”

— Thomas Dumont

“I don’t think I would be exaggerating if I said that Nuria came into my life during its darkest period. Not only did she help me through it, but she showed me how to turn all the difficulties I was going through into life lessons that made me a stronger woman.

She helped me build a healthier relationship with my husband, with my kids, with my friends, but most of all, with myself.

Her approach fits so well with mine. She offers the psychological grounding you need, but also the deeper guidance to see meaning in life’s events.

Even though I am doing so much better now, I still come back for sessions regularly, because I feel therapy is one of the greatest acts of self-love you can give yourself.”

— Kinga

Experiences with group therapy

For people who notice that slowing down together, repetition and shared presence can be supportive.

“Almost six years ago, when I first met Nuria, she was doing her first training as a coach. I had sessions at her home as well as walking sessions with her.

The sessions were engaging and clarifying, her energetic work is calming and her knowledge is inspiring.

Now, years later, I follow group sessions with her at the practice where she works. I experience tremendous growth in knowledge and, above all, a deep emotional connection with her and with what she wants to bring across.

The balance between physical and mental exercises works like a set of balanced scales for my state of mind.

I continue to follow her and let myself be inspired and made wiser by this intellectual, cheerful and spirited señorita.”

— Alette
