My Mission
My motivation is to help people feel better in body, mind and emotions. I offer tools for health and wellbeing through holistic movement training and personal coaching
My Story
A Journey Toward Health in the Deepest Sense
I began my exploration of the connection between body and mind/heart at an early age. As the son of psychologists (with more than a decade of psychotherapy experience), I always felt that something was missing from the spoken word alone. I began to study kung fu and yoga seriously at the age of 14, and to teach kung fu and tai chi at 18.
At 21, I earned a living exclusively from this work, to which I continued to add and explore new approaches (kettlebell training, functional training, self-defense, Zen meditation, and other schools of martial arts). I founded Centro San Bao in 2008 in Buenos Aires, which functioned until the end of 2020, and San Bao Center in Hawaii, which functioned from 2013-2018. I have also taught classes in universities, retirement homes, private companies, and clubs. See my full CV here.

My Passion
My passion for teaching the art of conscious movement stems from the simple desire to help people feel better and enjoy life more fully. My students say that their practice helps them to strengthen, heal, and grow as individuals. This is what motivates me to continue learning and growing myself.
Currently I study the so-called "Practical Method" of tai chi with master Chen Zonghua and I received my transformational life coach diploma in 2024. In parallel, I continue to learn on the new frontiers of neuroscience, psychology, and the treatment of trauma, which reinforce that many difficulties – physical as well as emotional – respond better to an integrated therapy, incorporating the body intentionally into a program of recovery or healing. Because in the end, we are (as I intuited in my adolescence) complex and complete individuals, and to truly cultivate our health, we must embrace its totality.

Let's Begin Your Journey
Over the years, I've come to understand that wellbeing isn't achieved by forcing the body, but by listening to it. Drawing on my decades of experience in personal coaching, functional conditioning, and mindful movement, I accompany people who are seeking more than just an exercise routine and want to reconnect with their health, wellbeing and vitality.
If you feel it's time for this growth, I'd be honored to work with you. Every journey is unique – yours can begin today.
