CARME RENALIAS ESCAYOLA

I have lived in Fontcoberta, a small village 4 km from the lake of Banyoles, for more than 30 years. My two children who now are flying in the world grew up here.

Since being a young child I knew I wanted to be a dancer. My body has always been my home, my school and my inspiration. I danced professionally for more than twenty-five years in the companies directed by Ramon Oller, Cesc Gelabert, Angels Margarit, Mark Tompkins, Sasha Waltz and Julyen Hamilton among others. I went around the world and enjoyed myself and matured.

I was dedicated to dance pedagogy for more than twenty years, teaching improvisation, composition and body awareness.

By chance and due to back pain, I met Craniosacral Therapy as a client and I was fascinated. There were some forces inside me I felt I had never known of. Curiosity made me sign up for a professional training.

I graduated as a craniosacral therapist from the European School of Craniosacral Therapy directed by Robert and Maria Harris in 2002. Since then I have always been involved both in teaching this therapy and in giving sessions.

Grateful to everyone who contributed to the development of this therapy before me
To all the teachers I've met during my path
To all my colleagues, clients and students who have taught me so much
To my family for always supporting me even if they didn't understand what I was doing
