​Born in Spain to a Welsh mother and Spanish father, Gabriela had an unusual childhood raised in movement. She is a polyglot speaking English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, basic Arabic, Farsi and Serbian.

 

Gabriela studied the Middle East with a focus on Anthropology, Islamic Mysticism and Sufi poetry at SOAS University, London. From 2009-2012 she worked as a human right's defender in Ghana, Palestine, Bolivia and with Tibetan ex-political prisoners in the Himalayas. In 2012 she lived and studied with renunciant Jain nuns in the Rajasthani desert. She then trained extensively with shamans in Bolivia, Peru and the UK before completing a master’s degree with a first-class thesis in the Poetics of Imagination with mythologist Dr. Martin Shaw and poet Alice Oswald (2022). 

​

Her work focuses on the revival of ancient wisdom in Europe and the Middle East. Following a decade of rigorous spiritual trainings with shamans and renunciants, Gabriela developed her own healing modality and teaching that she shares in both online and in-person settings. Much of her research and writing can be found on her Substack publication Under a Fig Tree and her online classes and lectures provide a regular gathering space for wisdom-seekers worldwide.
