Bio

Mountain rescuer, musician, aquatic therapist, and photographer.

I was born in Mexico City in 1988 with a natural aptitude for music and the visual arts, so from a young age it came easily to me to associate images with songs.

Cinematography and music share the discipline of composing with rhythm and proportion. So, naturally, I decided to study contemporary music composition alongside renowned musicians, engineers, and producers from the international industry and scene in 2003. I work as a photographer at the academy where I studied.

But at the same time, my father's health was not in balance, which led me to enroll as an emergency medical services student with the Mexican Red Cross that same year.

I became certified as a paramedic and first aid instructor.

And without realizing it, that would lead me to discover a deeper meaning in life, as it made it abundantly clear that I harbored a profound love for the mountains; indeed, after earning that certification, I went on to specialize in high-altitude mountain rescue in 2007.

 A national television report featuring me performing this work alongside my team.

Everything changed one day when, while climbing a rocky peak with Salvador (the section chief), we were struck by lightning in the middle of a storm that had developed very quickly.

Fortunately, the impact left us conscious (though we were dazed and somewhat disoriented), and we managed to make our way down the mountain.

At the time, I didn't fully grasp the extent of the event's impact.

The most obvious result was my newfound passion for studying film (University of Communication, 2012):

Also I dedicated to photograph lightning and storms and composed music that evoked life and death, creating the project "The Voice Of Thunder"

Years later, something strange happened; I discovered a form of moving meditation in water called Janzu, which captivated me. I made this video to explain the story behind:

I learned it, combined it with what I already knew about medical care, and it opened up a whole new world I had never seen before: the world of dreams, the wisdom of the water dragon, brain frequencies, and free diving.

I repeat that this was strange, since no one in my family for generations had engaged in similar activities.

Within ten years, I became a Janzu instructor and began not only traveling as a professional photographer and musician, but also sharing my medical and therapeutic knowledge as applied in the water. In addition, I began new studies in UNANI medicine (a medical system based on human biology).

I loved this blend of disciplines, but it still remained a mystery…

Until in 2023, while I was taking photographs for a documentary about Mexican "tiemperas" traditions, an old nahual named "Don Manuel", in a passionate speech, explained that according to the most defining traditions of the connection with nature, this connection is established when a human being is struck by lightning, an event that does not happen by chance, as it signifies being chosen for a very specific purpose: to care for the rhythm of the harvests, to make offerings to the elements in the correct month, and to help others understand who they are and see their own natural resources.

In other words, someone who has acquired the gift of bridging the immaterial and the material worlds.

Now this whole dance between life and death made sense.

Since 2016, I have been dedicated to creating spaces for self-discovery using these resources in both Mexico and Europe. I am an educator with hundreds of students in the fields of music, sound therapy, photography, Janzu, and UNANI biotypes. I am also a member of the Water Collective and the international movement of the Red Cross. In addition, I offer concerts using so-called "soundscapes," where I incorporate textures and sounds that evoke the marine environment.
