Lourdes Aldanondo
One of the driving forces in my life has always been CURIOSITY about the body, the mind and the “why” and “how” of “us” humans.
To satisfy curiosity one must learn to observe and to listen. This led me to grow my knowledge in Complementary Medicine influenced by my Basque roots. Early memories include magical moments collecting herbs with my father that my mother would prepare into ointments or bitter teas.
Later on, my travels around Asia and South America helped me appreciate other cultures and the common essence that unite us all on our healing journey.
Based in London, I trained in different types of bodywork, Naturopathy and NLP. When I discovered Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, it became the unifying thread between all the disciplines I learned, and a new way of seeing the world.
My first opportunity as a teacher came in 1994 at Westminster University in London. Since then, I enjoy every opportunity to share my knowledge, in a group or at individual level.
Currently I practice and impart courses in Barcelona, online and in different parts of the world.
