She is also trained in Family Constellations and Zen Counseling with Svagito Liebermeister with whom she collaborates.
Currently she facilitates paths for adults, adolescents and children where she integrates what she has learned from her masters, using Painting as an exploratory medium of natural talents, self-investigation and personal growth.
She is the author of the book ‘The painting of the roots’ in which she combines Painting with the study of the Family Tree, guiding the reader to include and paint the ancestors.
The meaning of her name is her statement: “Trust in spontaneity”.
In art she uses a sannyasin “surname” received during a meditation in India: Kunkunate.
