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.
