In 2012 she moved to Barcelona with her family and more recently set up Barcelona Physiotherapy.
Well Woman Centre – Barcelona Well Woman Centre was founded in 2009 by Uby Muñoz, an Acupuncturist whose focus is on fertility. The centre has since then expanded to include a team of highly-qualified international health and wellness professionals from a variety of backgrounds making it the holistic and light-filled oasis that it is today.
