Hello
Hi, I’m Pablo - a Chilean native and Australian citizen, massage therapist, aspiring psychologist (Bachelor of psychology honours graduate), and mindfulness practitioner. After a 12-year career in tourism, my journey led me to explore healing through Vipassana meditation, yoga, remedial massage, psychotherapy and deep listening. Today, I hold space for others with a calm, intuitive, and trauma-aware approach rooted in presence, care, and authenticity.
About Me – From Noise to Stillness
Before any of the degrees, certifications, or wellness work—there was noise.
I spent over 12 years in the tourism industry, guiding people through beautiful places, working in hospitality, and helping others create memories around the world. I loved that part of my life. I really did. It allowed me to travel, connect, and feel useful. But eventually, something shifted. The pace, the constant outward focus, the endless pressure to perform and please—it stopped feeling right. I started to realise that I was always “on,” but rarely “with” myself.
The head noise was unbearable. My thoughts felt chaotic and loud, like a constant inner storm I couldn’t escape. No amount of sunshine, socialising, or success could quiet it. What I deeply craved wasn’t a new job or a fresh passport stamp—it was silence. Not just silence around me, but within me. I longed for space between thoughts. For calm in the middle of the storm.
So I did something that made no sense on paper but felt right in my gut: I left everything behind and went to Asia to volunteer. That’s where I met an amazing fellow latina whose presence I’ll never forget—especially the moment she asked me, “Have you tried Vipassana meditation?” Something in the way she said it—calm, certain, like she knew—cut through all the noise I’d been carrying.
Later that night, she sent me a link to the official Vipassana website. As I read through it, something in me settled. No flashy promises, no spiritual jargon—just silence, discipline, and presence. It was exactly what I needed. Without even fully understanding why, I signed up.
A few weeks later, I found myself in Malaysia at a 10-day Vipassana retreat: no talking, no books, no distractions. Just breath, body, and every thought I had been trying to outrun for years.
It was excruciating… and healing. Not because everything suddenly made sense, but because I finally stopped running. For the first time in a long time, I felt stillness—not perfection, not peace in the fairy-tale sense, but a quiet corner inside myself that felt… okay.
That experience changed the direction of my life.
It led me to yoga, then to remedial massage therapy, and eventually to a psychology degree, where I focused my honours research on interoception—the way we sense and interpret what’s happening inside our bodies - and its association to mind and body integration. It all came together: the silence, the breath, the body, the mind. Healing not as a quick fix, but as a process of returning.
Today, I offer massage, breathwork, and 1:1 support that honour this path—not clinical, not performative, not prescriptive. Just grounded, intentional spaces to pause, reconnect, and be human—like the kind of space I was given by those individuals who appeared along the way and made a significant impact on how I perceive therapy, relate to others, and practise authentic presence.
