Daniela Maltauro

Daniela, both inquisitive and compassionate, found her calling in the complex field of human relations. From the outset of her professional career, she demonstrated an innate curiosity for the human psyche and a deep desire to understand how emotions shape our lives. As a psychotherapist, Daniela's journey began with a thirst for knowledge that led her down different paths of study. Her academic studies, expertise and training cover organizational psychology, coaching, clinical psychology and psychodynamic psychotherapy. With each new facet of the human mind she explored, Daniela felt better able to guide others through the labyrinth of their emotions. However, Daniela's approach didn't stop at traditional therapeutic methods. Always on the lookout for innovative ways to connect with her clients, she discovered the deep and inextricable link between man and nature. Incorporating nature-based approaches into her practice, Daniela, passionate about the equestrian world, introduced horses into innovative workshops, recognizing their amazing ability to reflect and respond to human emotions. Thanks to this unconventional, equine-assisted approach, Daniela has witnessed remarkable breakthroughs in her clients. Whether helping people overcome anxiety, cope with trauma or manage the complexity of relationships, Daniela's integration of nature-based therapy has added a unique dimension to her work. Daniela's impact has also extended beyond the therapy room. Aware of the importance of inclusion and social justice, she has made it her mission to create a safe and welcoming space for all. Her practice has embraced multicultural issues and supported the LGBTQ community, ensuring that everyone who walks through her door feels seen, heard and valued. In Daniela's career path, aspiring relational practitioners find a shining example of creativity, compassion and dedication. Her story demonstrates the transformative power of empathy, and the infinite possibilities that lie ahead when we approach healing with an open heart and mind.

Nadine Gharios

Nadine's journey through life has been guided by a deep curiosity for the human mind and heart. From an early age, Nadine found herself captivated by the complex workings of human nature - why we think, feel and behave as we do. This led her to immerse herself in the study of psychology and to become a psychotherapist. She has been working in this field for over 20 years. In her work, she has been drawn to psychodynamic modalities, where she has explored the depths of the unconscious and the complexities of human relationships, as well as the essence of being human.Nadine's exploration has not stopped at the boundaries of the psyche. After initially being drawn to yoga as a form of exercise, she soon discovered its profound teachings on the mind-body connection and the subtle language of the body through the way it holds tension and the effect of the psyche on movement and breathing. Since then, she has felt drawn to explore different therapeutic approaches that honor the interconnectedness of body and mind. This led her to study integrative body psychotherapy, a therapeutic approach that uses the body as a tool for healing and transformation.Driven by compassion and her own experiences, Nadine found herself supporting people suffering from trauma and anxiety. She expertly guides individuals through life's transitions. Whether it's career changes, relationship shifts or personal growth journeys, she offers insightful support and guidance, helping those who seek her out to find clarity and autonomy amidst the uncertainty of change. Through her practice, she has also learned to recognize the subtle ways in which trauma can shape posture, breathing and movement, often manifesting as tightness, dissociation or hypervigilance. So, for Nadine, trauma healing is not just about treating symptoms or coping mechanisms, but also about fostering a deep sense of resilience and self-compassion. This is why she helps her clients tap into their inner strength and wisdom to move through transitions with courage and strength.
