Who is Carlos?
A person who was born in A Coruña, the son of a father, a merchant sailor who was rarely at home, and a mother who raised three children of different ages almost alone. I arrived in Andalusia in 1992 and have lived in Fuengirola, Mijas, Coín... For years combining studies with my first company. Today he lives in Alhaurín el Grande, he has four daughters, and even two grandchildren! And it combines, or so it tries, several professional facets such as helping to fix people's legal problems, helping to solve some of their health problems, and editing or even writing a book.
What did you dream about as a child?
Be a veterinarian! But life took me down other paths. Today one of my daughters is about to be a veterinarian. At the age of 14, I thought about computing and made my first entrepreneurial steps by designing a program for some companies. When I was barely 18 years old I left Coruña to work in Madrid… In short, dreams change with life.
When and why did you decide to dedicate yourself to law?
Being stubborn and answerable, I guess there wasn't much of a way out. I have always liked to debate and I suppose that is where the vocation came from.
When did you meet and why did you decide to dedicate yourself to Shiatsu?
Health began to be an important factor in my life in the last years of my father's life. Aging “badly” is a bad path. In Shiatsu I found that what I always did (giving massages to friends and family) could be done with much more meaning, discovering that the human body is “dumb” and “powerful” at the same time. This technique originally from Japan requires years of training and brings together and applies knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and its connection with some principles of Chinese medicine.
Having suffered low back pain relatively frequently and discovering Shiatsu as a patient and how it works, I decided to study it.
If you had to create a link between your 2 professions, which would it be?
I guess it's gratifying to be able to help people, even if it's in such seemingly different areas.
Tell us a little about what Shiatsu is and what it means to you.
Despite its oriental name, Shiatsu is something simple at heart. It forces those who practice it to know the human body in depth, to be able to activate its “self-recovery” springs through a massage that does not cause pain because it replaces friction with pressure from the thumbs and palms, in a methodical manner in the area over the that is worked. Additionally, Shiatsu works in a way on the body that helps improve the person who receives it both physically and mentally. Many times the body reflects signals that something is not going well and you have to listen to it, calm it, relax it, or stimulate it.
If the world was a drawn canvas of sand and a strong gust of wind erased it, what would be the first thing you would create on that new canvas?
I'm not sure... it would be something Blue...
