@martamchef6
Marta Verona (February 1995) is the winner of the sixth edition of Masterchef España, but, above all, her skills as a nutritional cook and communicator stand out. She teaches culinary nutrition at the Francisco de Vitoria University, the Basque Culinary Center and the Complutense University of Madrid. She has collaborated for five years in the famous programme "Saber vivir" with its healthy cooking section, as well as having had her own nutrition programme on RNE for two years, "A mitos necios oídos sordos" (To foolish myths, deaf ears). She has been trusted to talk about current nutrition issues in "Cuatro al Día" on Cuatro TV and in "La hora de la 1" morning magazine on La 1 de TVE. And in cooking programmes such as "Cocina al punto" and "Hacer de comer" on TVE.
In addition, Saber Vivir magazine has positioned her as a leading nutritional consultant, offering its readers her monthly consultancy. Her motto "learning by doing" makes her bring health to the plate in showcookings and workshops for brands and companies. After publishing her second book, No comas como un Zombi, which in a few weeks reached its third edition, last year she published Mi Cocina Sana, published by RBA, whose aim is to facilitate health through cooking. Bringing together disciplines such as gastronomy and nutrition makes Marta Verona a unique and completely different profile.

ELSA SONCCOSUA - YOGA & MEDITATION
@elsayoga.es
I came to Yoga with the intention of discovering a philosophy of life and I came away with much more than that. After completing my first training I asked myself why I had not been taught something like this at school. I was so amazed that I decided to share what was so good for me with the world. I started teaching in 2006 in different centres, companies and homes. I have participated in film shoots, photo shoots, events and retreats as well as writing articles for blogs and magazines such as Cosmopolitan.
In 2015 I founded, together with María Marco, "Fuera de la esterilla" a Yoga solidarity project. Throughout these years I have done different trainings, courses and workshops. Teaching has been and is, without a doubt, a great source of learning.

ANTONIO SANZ - MINDFULNESS AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION
@into_mindfulness
In the 1980s I began to practice around two essential axes: meditation and mindfulness. So I have been practising mindfulness for almost forty years. Some time ago, I made Lao Tse's famous saying that we all have two lives, and the second life begins when you realise that you only have one. I decided to give up all professional activities that had nothing to do with teaching in the field of consciousness and meditation. This is my second life. This is the life I have always wanted to have and the one that really makes me happy.
I currently do individual sessions and lead groups in meditation practice and personal growth. I have just published a fiction book ("7 Days with Xukla") where I describe in a simple and entertaining way, my way of working in the field of consciousness.
CHRISTOPHE LAINÉ - GEOBIOLOGY
FB: www.facebook.com/geobaleares
I first landed in Ibiza in 1983 and from the very beginning I felt the "magnetism" so peculiar to the island. In the 2000s, my path led me to Geobiology (study of the influence of our place on our health) for which I followed a long training with the Geobios® group (France); then I trained in Feng Shui and Shutaido. Since 2022, I am the exclusive delegate of the Geobios® group for Spain (Peninsula and Balearic Islands), offering trainings in the Geobios® method to all people wishing to discover, learn, and practice the geobiology of the 21st century.
In short, Geobaleares' approach is health by natural means following the ancient principles of Hippocrates or Chinese medicine, whose first link consists of living, working and resting in safe and harmonised places. All Geobaleares activities are related to the Earth's energy, with the aim of optimising its health benefits, and avoiding its radiations affecting us.
SONIA TORRES - UNLOCK YOUR POTENTIAL
@sonia.torres.arabí
FB: Sonia Torres Arabí
My name is Sonia Torres Arabí, I am from Ibiza and I am passionate about wellbeing, the self and its infinite potential and the connection with the earth. At the same time that I was studying Tourism and languages, I was training in various types of therapies, among which I would highlight the tools of psychology and personal development, while also exploring meditation and self-inquiry of our essence and inner connection and our extrasensory abilities. These two paths came together when I inherited with my brother the house and farm of our grandparents in which we developed the project of "Conscious Agrotourism - Casa Morna Ibiza" where I can unite and share my passions.
Currently I offer monthly courses, workshops and retreats that range from working with femininity, offering tools for healing, self-knowledge, empowerment and connection with the earth.
