All this change came up as a result of her determination to completely heal herself from a severe, limiting and chronic disease, Fibromyalgia, which she was suffering from for many years. This determination took her to India where she was living and researching for more than 8 years and which led to a complete recovery from her disease and a better understanding of how to live a healthy and happy life. After her recovery she committed her life to help others to heal their selves as well. She is Spanish, lives between India and Spain and travels extensively in many different countries (www.centronilaya.com)
