Hi, I'm Priscilla.
I'm a nutritionist, naturopath and coach, and for more than 17 years I've been accompanying processes related to wellbeing, habits and change.
My professional and personal path gradually led me to understand that, often, a person doesn't just need to know what to do.
They need a space to understand what they're going through, recognise their own resources, and be able to experiment with other ways of relating to themselves and their reality.
The IMANI Method was born from that experience.
My way of accompanying combines listening, questions, reflection, practical experience and, when it's right for the person and the goal of the process, different resources from my professional and complementary training.
HOW I ACCOMPANY
Listening before interpreting.
For many years I've worked with people who came looking to change their diet, feel better, or shift certain habits.
And again and again, something else would show up.
Behind a behaviour there could be fear. Behind exhaustion, a responsibility carried for too long. Behind difficulty changing, a need that hadn't yet been recognised.
And resources would also show up — ones the person themselves had often stopped seeing.
Accompanying isn't deciding for someone else.
I learned that accompanying isn't just about knowing which tool to use. It's about listening, understanding, asking good questions, and helping create the conditions for the person to discover what they need and what they want to do with it.
I listen. I observe. I ask. I reflect back. I propose possibilities. And then, I hand back the choice.

AN INTEGRATIVE PATH
Science, experience, body, nutrition and intuition.
My first professional training was in Nutrition.
Over time I broadened my outlook, training also in naturopathy, coaching, Bach Flowers, Reiki, Akashic Records, evolutionary tarot and other tools for exploration and companioning.
I'm especially interested in the dialogue between body and experience; habits and emotions; reason and intuition; what we know and what we still need to explore.
THE PERSONAL PATH BEHIND IMANI
IMANI means 'faith'.
And that word has accompanied many stages of my own life.
I've been through losses, grief, motherhood, separation, migration, family rebuilding, professional changes, and moments when the life I knew stopped resembling the one in front of me.
The death of my first child during birth marked my youth deeply. Years later, already living in Spain and having built a new family, our youngest son was born prematurely and died thirteen days after birth.
They were two losses, alike in one way and profoundly different in many others. Between them were years of life, psychotherapy, learning, relationships, resources, and a different way of accompanying myself.
Those experiences didn't give me all the answers.
But they profoundly changed the questions I asked myself.
I began to understand that after certain events we can't always go back to being who we were. And maybe we don't need to.
Sometimes we need to recognise what remains, what changed, what needs attention, and how we want to take part in the life we have now.
Many years later, that question is still one of the roots of IMANI.

FROM EXPERIENCE TO METHOD
What I lived opened questions. Professional practice allowed me to turn them into a method.
IMANI isn't born only from my own story. It's also born from years of accompanying very different people.
People going through retirement, grief, family conflict, complex relationships, habit change, professional projects, migrations, new life stages, fear, guilt, exhaustion, a desire for change, or simply the sense that continuing to live the same way was no longer enough.
In observing those processes, I started recognising certain movements that kept repeating: understanding what's happening, discerning what we need and what's ours to carry, recognising what's in our hands, experimenting with possibilities, learning from experience, and choosing again.
What's your next possible move?

WHO I AM OUTSIDE THE CONSULTING ROOM
I'm also much more than my profession.
I'm a mother, wife, friend, immigrant, relentlessly curious, and an eternal student.
I love learning, talking, watching people, and connecting ideas that seemingly belong to different worlds.
Music has nourished my life for as long as I can remember. So has humour.
THE POSITION I ACCOMPANY FROM
I don't want to become the person who knows more about your life than you do.

I can bring experience, training, tools, questions, and an outside perspective. But the life we're looking at is yours.
My purpose isn't to make you depend on my answers, but to progressively help you recognise your own, test them against reality, and develop the resources to hold your own choices.
