My specialisation in
Psycho-Neuro-Immunology or PNI

My specialisation in Psycho-Neuro-Immunology, or PNI, has completed my professional medical journey, giving me the tools for a broader understanding and treatment.

Above all, it allows me to offer patients the second most essential element in an integrative clinic: enough consultation time to explore all the dimensions of the problem and to make a comprehensive treatment plan; to treat not just the symptom but the root of the disease.

In my PNI clinic, we establish a dialogue not limited to the symptoms, but focused beyond them, reviewing all health systems, not only with the aim of being pain-free, but of restoring health at its root and enjoying a stronger and more active future.

Where my passion began

From a very young age, I remember being passionate about understanding people.

In my early adolescence, I would sometimes see someone suffering and was surprised that nobody seemed to be able to approach or understand that person well enough to help them. In those early years of my life, I interpreted it as a profound mystery: how was it possible that no one could understand what was happening to them and help? I felt I had to do something about it; I couldn’t just stand by, so I resolved to embark on a path of empathy, study, and understanding of living beings, people and of life.

First Steps: Nature and Veterinary Medicine system

At the age of 10, I discovered my ‘first love’: nature and the animals we had around us. In Spain, together with my brother and friends, I spent countless hours observing wildlife and plants. We organised nature associations; I took part in regional wildlife studies and surveys; I became passionate about photography to capture unrepeatable moments, and published some photos in books and magazines. Naturally, I studied Veterinary Medicine, and enjoyed working in this profession for five years.

Bridging the Gap: From Animals to Human Health

However, I felt there was something more; my early curiosity as a child and young adult, calling me to understand and help human beings, was not fully satisfied. Therefore, I decided to study Medicine and undertake Osteopathy studies at the same time. Medicine would give me the medical knowledge, while Osteopathy would complement my skills in clinical examination.

At the same time, my training as a veterinary doctor gave me perspective and understanding of the adaptations that animal species have successfully used to adjust to environmental changes. This has given me an integrative understanding on how weaknesses or failures of those same mechanisms in people can affect their health.

The NHS Years and a Turning Point

My 20 years of working as a doctor in the NHS have been an exciting journey, and they continue to be so! Here, I have collaborated (and continue to collaborate) with medical teams, have led hospital services, implemented clinical initiatives, and developed healthcare education projects.

However, in clinical consultations, the 15-minutes doctors are given for each patient are clearly insufficient. I have so often heard my patients say that they have to visit many different specialists and, although receiving good care from each of them, none has the time to review their health as a whole. They are right.

I could no longer continue witnessing patients who couldn’t find the space or time in their appointments to address their health issues in a holistic way.
