Teaching
- I started to teach at the Buenos Aires National University at the age of 20.
I was teaching at the Architecture program about how form, space, colors
influence our psyche, given that I was studying both architecture and
psychology.
After moving to Sweden, I decided to work privately teaching health
professionals how to create sustainable lifestyle behavioral changes. Since
2010, I supervise masters in physiotherapy and medical students and teach in
interprofessional graduate courses (IPL), both in Sweden and as an invited
professor in universities worldwide. My expertise is Behavioral Medicine and
Interprofessional Learning (IPL), which I do since 2010 at Karolinska
Institutet (KI).
Currently, I am the course leader for ACT applied in Physiotherapy and
Occupational Therapy at KI.
