Meditation, Mindfulness and Deep Relaxation
Meditation and the Meditative State as Working Tools
The meditative state is at the foundation of everything I do when I work. Whether I’m with a single person doing an individual session or with a large group teaching meditation, my working tool is always the same. And it’s not a tool I can go out and fetch.
The meditative state is not something that can be sought and found. It’s something that simply happens when we suddenly find ourselves empty. The meditative state finds the gap and slips in, and from there it grows and expands until it ends up encompassing everything.
What Do I Offer?
Deep Relaxation Therapy
Since I work with deep meditative states that induce relaxation, my sessions are suitable for all types of emotional or physical problems for which relaxation may be helpful: stress, anxiety, insomnia, digestive problems, fears, phobias, grief situations, fatigue, vital weariness and lack of motivation, depression, pain, addictions, traumas, etc.
One-to-one Counselling Sessions
If you’re going through a phase of doubt, crisis, or vital stagnation, my work is also suitable for you. I provide accompaniment during moments of doubt or existential crisis, as well as in what has come to be called “spiritual emergency situations.” In fact, I specialize in managing difficult situations related to spiritual awakening and high sensitivity.
Meditation and Mindfulness Classes
I teach regular secular meditation classes in the mindfulness style at La Sala, in the center of Barcelona. I also offer customized workshops for private groups or companies, as well as individual meditation classes, and private sessions for resolving doubts for beginners and people with advanced levels.

My first contact with the meditative state was not sought and was not entirely welcome until long after it first occurred. It was so abrupt, so intense, and so unexpected that it took me years to learn to manage it, but little by little the meditative state itself instructed me, and as I offered less resistance, it became kinder and gentler with me.
I began experiencing deep meditative states spontaneously 23 years ago, within the framework of intense body movement work based on bioenergetics. After a while, and somewhat unexpectedly, I found myself sharing these states with others and, over the years, that sharing became my profession.
Since my first contact with the meditative state occurred outside of any cultural context, I have never been able to integrate myself into an already established lineage or school (of any tradition). My relationship with the meditative state has been something so intense and so deeply personal that transmitting my own experience is, for now, the best way I have to continue learning.
TESTIMONIALS
“I’m in the midst of a personal change process, diving into my depths. For me it’s been an emotional roller coaster with a lot of confusion and recurring fears.
From the first session with Berta I felt great peace, what she conveys to me is a peace I haven’t found in myself yet. She sheds light where I don’t see, I can’t describe the sessions, something internal shifts and I leave charged with energy. And with my backpack full of new tools and other ways to face what’s happening.
When I’m confused or something overwhelms me, a little light goes on and click, Berta appears and my need to go see her.”
Míriam A.
“My experience during the sessions with Berta has been truly satisfying.
There was a moment when I felt my body light as if it were going to float at any moment and a great weight had been lifted off me.
She helped me to be honest with myself and to make decisions that have changed my life greatly, for the better without a doubt.”
Raquel T.
“I’m not the type of person who usually takes an interest in these types of therapies, but a friend recommended I go see Berta and I told myself I had nothing to lose.
Excellent recommendation! The sessions with Berta have helped me enormously to cope with difficult situations in my daily life and to stay centered on what’s important.
In addition to possessing the clarity of an excellent therapist, Berta brings about real changes with her energy work… I can feel it physically. After each session with her I feel strong, centered and at peace.”
Joshua M.
“My life was starting to fall apart, my romantic situation demanded urgent attention and my fears were appearing from some very distant corner of my mind. The ghosts of the shadow had come to see me, I needed help to be able to understand all of that.
I went to see Berta, that was my third session with her. That day the process of integrating hidden and denied parts of myself began to move forward. Probably the most important conscious process of my life up to that point.”
Jordi I.
“The work that Berta does I feel as a ‘harmonizing of the soul.’ At the end of her sessions I feel lighter and happier. It’s not that I feel something very strong, but when many weeks go by without seeing her I miss something I don’t really know how to explain.
Sometimes it seems as if she literally lifted a weight off me. Her sessions are a balm for my soul.”
Conrad H.
“In the sessions I’ve done with Berta I’ve had the pleasant sensation of openness, of communication and of peace. Now I know that I’ll never be alone.”
