Description
I was born and raised in Guadalajara, Mexico. I have a bachelor's degree in computer engineering and worked for IBM Mexico for 6 years before moving to Rochester, Minnesota to work for IBM US in 1998. After surviving 10 winters in Minnesota and becoming a US citizen, I moved to England and called London my home for 10 years. During that time, I became a British citizen. In 2018, I retired from the IT world after 26 years. Now, I'm a citizen of the world, travelling to different places acting as a facilitator and supporting people achieve their goals through the teaching of Reiki and other holistic disciplines (Yoga, Massage, Tai Chi and Qigong). Please visit my website to know more about me and what I do: http://www.reikijunction.com. Thanks.

We had the absolute pleasure of hosting Fernando at the mountain lodge for 10 weeks as a volunteer yoga, Tai Chi, and Reiki teacher – and what a gift he was to our team, our guests, and the community.
From day one, Fernando brought a warm and peaceful energy that resonated throughout the lodge. Our guests loved his classes, often mentioning them… read more

I stayed at this place for 10 weeks and it's been one of the most amazing experiences. The place is amazing and all the staff are wonderful. The atmosphere of the lodge is incredible and the food was delicious. Staff and travelers make this place very special.

He felt like a soul brother. We had an inspiring exchange of communication especially about spiritual topics and good and healthy food preparation.
I enjoyed our slow_living_conscious meals together.

I did a short workaway with Claudia at the end of November. From a Friday evening through Wednesday morning. It was cold to stay at the beach house and her brother was away, so I stayed at her brother's apartment. My short stay was incredible! Claudia was very welcoming, kind and accommodating. She's a very interesting person and has a beautiful… read more

Fernando was with me for a couple of weeks.
He was extremely hard working, straining his muscles helping me lay concrete!!
He also installed another laptop for me and sorted out some IT problems.
Fernando will do very well wherever he goes.
I hope he will return to me next year.

I stayed at Sally's for 2 weeks. She's wonderful and I had a good time with her, the 9 dogs, Sparkle, Serendipity, Faith and Wave, the Golden Retrievers; Razzle, Topaz and Jumbo, the Cocker Spaniels (Jumbo was the only boy and he found a home a week into my stay); and Fizz and Puzzle, the Kooikerhundje; and of course Mr. Darcy, the shy but lovely… read more

I had a wonderful time at the farm. Kathi and Alex are amazing hosts with huge hearts who made me feel welcomed. I didn't have experience with horses before but Kathi was very patient and kind. Sharing time with them, the other volunteers, the 5 dogs, the horses, the pigs and the goat was an incredible experience. Also, I got to know Kathi's mum… read more
