About me
Welcome
Hi, I’m Fernando, and my journey has always been about exploring practices that nurture the body, mind, and spirit—and sharing what I’ve learned with others. Over the years, I’ve immersed myself in Reiki, hypnotherapy, Yoga, Tai Chi, Qigong, massage, and wellness coaching, discovering how each discipline brings its own kind of balance, calm, and clarity. What started as a personal path of growth and exploration has become a way to create meaningful connections and safe spaces for others to relax, recharge, and reconnect with themselves. My mission is simple: to guide and support you on your journey toward well-being, whether through a gentle session, a mindful class, or a conversation that helps you see things more clearly.
Reiki
I began my Reiki journey in the spring of 2012, completing both Reiki Level 1 and 2, and by December of the same year, I earned my Reiki Master certification at Reiki Maya in London, UK. From the very start, I was captivated by the gentle yet profound way Reiki brings balance and harmony. Teaching quickly became a passion, and today I not only offer sessions to help others relax and restore themselves, but I also guide students on their own path to becoming Reiki practitioners. For me, Reiki is more than a practice or a set of techniques—it’s a way of life! Reiki shapes my daily choices, and enriches every aspect of my life. In my sessions and workshops, I create a safe, nurturing space where others can experience the same sense of calm, clarity, and alignment that Reiki has brought to me.
Coaching
In 2022, I completed my Wellness Coach certification with Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN—a step that felt like a natural extension of who I already am. Long before pursuing formal training, I had discovered my natural ability to support and guide others, often in the most unexpected places. During my travels, I connected deeply with fellow travelers, people I’d meet by chance in hostels, on trains, or while sharing a café table. Many were seeking clarity or direction in their lives, and through casual yet insightful conversations, I was able to help them gain perspective and feel more centred. These experiences showed me the profound impact that presence, listening, and thoughtful guidance can have, and inspired me to pursue coaching professionally.
Hypnotherapy
In 2025, I completed my certification as a Clinical Hypnotherapist with the International College of Clinical Hypnotherapy in London, UK. My interest in hypnotherapy grew naturally from the guided meditations I had been leading in my Reiki sessions and Yoga classes. I saw firsthand how these gentle practices could help my clients and students enter a deep state of calm and relaxation, and I was inspired by the profound effects it had on them. The positive feedback I received encouraged me to deepen my skills and pursue formal hypnotherapy training. Today, I offer hypnotherapy sessions that combine my experience in energy work, meditation, and mind-body practices, creating a safe, supportive space where clients can relax, gain insight, and move toward positive change.
Massage
My journey with massage began as a way to understand the body more deeply and support others in their healing. In 2017, I completed my ITEC and BTEC Level 3 and Level 5 massage certifications at the School of Natural Therapies and the Institute of Sport and Remedial Massage in London, UK, gaining expertise in deep tissue, soft tissue, chair massage, and sports massage. That same year, I travelled to India to study Ayurveda techniques, deepening my understanding of holistic approaches to wellness. Over time, I discovered that massage is far more than releasing tension in muscles, it’s about creating a space where people can truly let go, reconnect with themselves, and restore balance. Each session is tailored to the individual, honoring their unique needs. For me, massage is a way of sharing presence, care, and calm.
Tai Chi and Qigong
I’ve been practicing Tai Chi and Qigong since 2005, and in 2013–2015, after a decade of dedicated practice, I completed my certification as a Tai Chi and Qigong instructor at the Tai Chi Nation school in England. My journey began when a good friend suggested I try Tai Chi to help with lower back issues, and I quickly fell in love with the grace, flow, and mindfulness these disciplines bring. Over the years, I also complemented my practice with Yoga and other movement arts. In the classes I teach, I combine these practices to create sessions that promote balance, harmony, and well-being. Practicing and teaching Tai Chi and Qigong has brought profound calm and alignment to my own life, and I love sharing that same sense of centeredness and vitality with my students.
Yoga and Meditation
I began practicing Yoga and meditation as a way to deepen my connection to mind and body, and in 2015, I completed my 200-hour Teacher Training course at Trimurti Yoga in Goa, India. The following year, I returned to India to complete the 300-hour Teacher Training course at Trimurti Yoga in Dharamsala, becoming a certified 500-hour teacher. Over the years, I’ve developed a style that blends traditional Yoga with elements of Tai Chi and Qigong, creating classes that are dynamic, flowing, and deeply grounding. In my sessions, I aim to guide students toward strength, balance, and inner calm, while providing a practice that is both enjoyable and transformative. Each class is a space to connect with your body, breath, and mind, and to leave feeling more centred and energized.
