About me
I am a certified Integrative Health Coach, Integrative Therapist, Mentor, Speaker and Health and Well-being Consultant, with over 30 years of experience in promoting health in organisational and community settings.
With a Master's degree in Human Resource Management and a Postgraduate qualification in Occupational Health and Safety, I complement my academic background with training in Naturopathy and various specialisations and certifications in integrative natural therapies, lifestyle medicine, integrative clinical aromatherapy, Therapeutic Chi Kung, women's health, neuroscience applied to behaviour and coaching.
Combining these different areas of knowledge and experience has allowed me to develop my own holistic and integrative approach, centred on the person and their individual needs. In my work, I value prevention, scientific evidence and an understanding of health as a whole, taking into account its physical, mental, emotional and energetic dimensions.
Through Integrative Health Coaching, combined with my knowledge and the use of integrative natural therapies, I support people who wish to regain energy and vitality, manage stress better, improve their quality of life and develop healthier, more sustainable habits.
My work involves creating personalised support plans that respect the unique needs of each person or organisation, promoting processes of transformation and meaningful, lasting changes.
I believe that each person is unique and that true transformation happens when we look at health in an integrated way, considering not only symptoms or challenges, but also habits, emotions, behaviours and the context in which each person lives and works.
It is this holistic, human and integrative vision that guides my work and my mission: to help each person take an active role in their health, achieve greater balance and build a life with better health, greater awareness and well-being.
I am a woman, mother, daughter, friend, partner and professional. I am shaped by relationships, experiences, learning, challenges and dreams. I believe in the importance of caring, listening, understanding and being present. I also believe that we are constantly evolving and that each stage of life offers us opportunities to grow, learn and discover new ways of being and living.
Throughout my personal and professional journey, I have come to realise that true well-being is not found solely in the absence of illness or the pursuit of a healthy body. It also lies in how we relate to ourselves, how we manage our emotions, how we face challenges, how we nurture our relationships and how we find balance amid the demands of everyday life.
My life experience has taught me that each person has a unique story, their own needs, vulnerabilities, strengths and dreams. That is why I believe that no two paths are the same and there are no universal solutions. Every process of change needs time, respect, listening and understanding.
I believe deeply in the potential of every human being and in the ability we all have to transform our lives.
Sometimes, we simply need to pause, look within, recognise what no longer serves us and find the right support and tools to take new steps.
It is this conviction that I bring to my work and to the way I relate to each person: with empathy, respect, warmth and authenticity.
More than sharing knowledge or providing tools, I want to help each person feel heard, understood and supported on their path. I want to help raise awareness, promote healthier choices and facilitate changes that are truly meaningful in each person's life.
Because I believe that looking after ourselves is not an act of selfishness, but a way of honouring life. And that living with better health, balance and well-being often begins when we decide to give ourselves the attention and care we deserve.
Integrative Health Coaching is a structured support process that helps each person develop sustainable healthy habits and take the lead in their own health.
Unlike approaches focused solely on symptoms, it considers the person as a whole, incorporating factors such as: Nutrition, Sleep, Physical exercise, Stress management, Emotional health, Relationships, Life purpose, Environment, Work–life balance
During this process, Health Coach Julia Rocha helps the client discover their inner motivation, set realistic goals, overcome barriers and implement small, consistent changes that produce lasting results.
Where appropriate, coaching can be complemented by integrative natural therapies, which I provide as a naturopath, enhancing physical, mental and emotional balance and promoting a truly holistic approach.
What sets my approach apart is the integration of different areas of knowledge and therapeutic tools, which allow me to look at each person as a whole and as an individual. Through a holistic and integrative view of health, I combine Integrative Health Coaching, knowledge of Naturopathy and integrative natural therapies, valuing the connection between body, mind, emotions and lifestyle. This perspective allows me to develop personalised support plans, respecting each person's individuality, needs and goals.
My work incorporates different tools, including:
I create each plan individually, respecting each person's needs, goals and life circumstances.
Each process begins with an individual assessment and exploration session, in which I seek to get to know each person better, their story, habits, lifestyle, the challenges they face, their needs and the goals they wish to achieve.
From this first stage, I develop a personalised support plan, tailored to each person's circumstances and priorities, which may incorporate different approaches and tools, including Integrative Health Coaching, health education and integrative natural therapies.
Sessions take place in a safe, welcoming and non-judgemental environment, built on trust, active listening, empathy and respect for each person's individuality and pace. Throughout the process, I support and facilitate the implementation of changes, helping to identify resources, overcome challenges and consolidate healthier habits.
My aim is not to create dependence on support, but to promote independence and empower each person
My work spans several complementary areas, which you can explore in detail on the services pages.
Individual support is one of the central areas of my work. It is intended for people who wish to regain energy and vitality, manage stress better, improve their eating habits and sleep quality, or navigate periods of change with greater balance, awareness and well-being.
Therapeutic Chi Kung is a traditional Chinese practice that combines gentle, mindful movements, breathing and mindfulness. When integrated into Integrative Health support, it serves as a tool that promotes relaxation, helps manage stress, stimulates vitality and fosters the connection between body and mind.
Integrative natural therapies include different practices and approaches that promote relaxation, balance and physical, mental and emotional well-being, respecting each person's needs and individuality.
With over 30 years of experience in organisational settings, I develop and implement Health and Well-being programmes in companies, tailored to the needs of each organisation and its teams.
We live in a culture that often only values health when problems arise. Preventive health proposes a different approach: caring for the body and mind continuously and consciously, adopting habits that promote health, balance and well-being and help reduce the risk factors associated with illness.
Prevention begins with the choices we make every day and the way we look after ourselves. More than good intentions, it requires awareness, commitment and consistency in adopting healthy habits.
Small choices — sleeping better, being physically active, eating a balanced diet and managing stress — can make a significant difference to long-term health and quality of life. Support helps turn these choices into sustainable habits through realistic goals, personalised strategies and plans tailored to each person's needs and circumstances.
In an increasingly diverse range of health and well-being services, I believe that my experience, multidisciplinary training and personalised approach make a difference.
Experience and knowledge: Over 30 years of experience in organisational and community settings, in the areas of health, well-being, people management and promoting quality of life.
Multidisciplinary training: A Master's degree in Human Resource Management, a Postgraduate qualification in Occupational Health and Safety, certification in Integrative Health Coaching and various training courses and specialisations in health, integrative natural therapies and human development.
Rigour and evidence: I value scientific evidence, continuously updating my knowledge and the careful integration of different approaches and practices to promote health and well-being.
A human and personalised approach: Each person is unique and deserves to be heard, understood and supported with empathy.
An integrative health coach supports people in creating healthy, sustainable habits, looking at health as a whole — nutrition, movement, sleep, stress and purpose. I facilitate this process through structured sessions, personalised goals and science-based tools.
No. Integrative health coaching, like the work of a naturopath, complements medical care and is never a substitute for it. It focuses primarily on prevention and lifestyle changes, in line with the recommendations of the healthcare professionals caring for each person.
Depending on each person's needs and goals, my support may incorporate different approaches and practices, including Integrative Clinical Aromatherapy, Auriculotherapy, Reflexology, Massage Therapy, Craniosacral Therapy, Therapeutic Chi Kung and other integrative natural therapies, selected and adapted on an individual basis.
Support is adapted to each client's circumstances. To find out about the available formats and arrange an initial conversation, simply use the contact page or call +351 913 891 067 or +351 912 799 462.
It depends on each person's goals. Sustained habit change benefits from regular support over a few weeks or months — the plan is agreed together in the initial session, always tailored to each individual case. What matters most is not speed, but consistency: results that come slowly and last are worth more than rapid transformations that disappear.
Yes. I design and implement Health and Well-being programmes in organisational settings, tailored to the circumstances and needs of each company and its teams. These may include workshops, awareness-raising activities, promoting healthy habits, stress management, preventing psychosocial risks and initiatives to promote health and quality of life at work.
