Romina was born and raised in Chile. At the age of 19, she followed her dreams and moved to Barcelona to train as an actress. She studied for four years at the Institut del Teatre, where she obtained a Superior Degree in Dramatic Art. Her passion for children has always been an important part of her journey, leading her to work with children's theatre companies and to discover the joy of connecting with young children through creativity, play and imagination.

In December 2013, she embarked on a new adventure and moved to New Zealand, where she spent two years caring for children of different ages. This experience deepened her appreciation for childhood and taught her the importance of nature, movement and outdoor experiences from an early age. In 2015, she returned to Barcelona and continued working in different areas connected to the arts.

Montessori entered her life with the birth of her first child. Today, Romina is a mother of two, and becoming a mother awakened a strong desire to learn and explore different ways of understanding childhood and education. While raising her son, she trained as a Montessori Guide for children aged 0–3. Shortly after completing her training, she began working in a Montessori school, where she discovered Positive Discipline. This led her to further training and to develop a deep interest in understanding children's emotional needs and the important role adults play in accompanying them with respect, kindness and empathy.

Her journey has continued to grow through her work as a trained Doula. She is also part of the team at Adresam (Asociación por los Derechos Reproductivos y Salud Maternoinfantil), where she contributes to the training of new doulas. This experience has enriched her understanding of pregnancy, birth, postpartum, early bonding and the transition into parenthood, bringing an even deeper perspective to her work with babies, young children and their families.

For Romina, accompanying young children also means accompanying the adults around them. Her experience as a mother, Montessori Guide and Doula allows her to approach each family with greater sensitivity and understanding, recognising the profound importance of the early years and the emotional, physical and relational needs of both children and parents. She believes that when adults feel supported and understood, they are better able to create a safe, respectful and nurturing environment in which children can grow.

Romina firmly believes that childhood deserves our full attention, presence and respect. The way we accompany children today helps shape the society of tomorrow.

She has always spent her summers at a campsite in Blanes (Costa Brava), a lovely place to stay in summer, where there was a Miniclub with lots of activities and games for everyone.

After the first year, she decided to make an abrupt change in her studies and began to study what she had always loved since she was a little girl, cooking. In 2011 she signed up for a higher degree in kitchen and dining room management at the Escuela Superior de Hosteleria de Barcelona (ESHOB). She graduated in 2015 and since then she has cooked for the most important critics she has always considered, the children and her daughters, Avril and Emma.

Since she was a child, Liana has stood out for her dynamism, responsibility, and a special talent for coordinating processes. Her studies came easily to her, but what mattered most was always actively participating in social life. She was deeply concerned with human emotions, issues of freedom and rights, as well as the social climate. These interests naturally led her to choose her vocation: she enrolled at the University of Telejournalism in Yerevan. During her studies, Liana didn’t limit herself to theory; she actively participated in practical projects, seeking from an early stage to engage with the real practice of the profession. After completing her studies, she began her career in television, working in the news department while simultaneously working in radio. Her interest in understanding social processes and international relations more deeply led her to a new stage: she enrolled in the University of Law to study International Law. For Liana, work has always been more than a profession: it is a way to convey meaningful messages, support, and inspire people. After ten years of experience in this field, she got married and moved to Saint Petersburg, where she began a new professional path in the aesthetics field, working as an administrator and coordinating processes. Later, life took her to Barcelona, where she had to start over once again. Today, Liana feels happy working at a Montessori school, a place where freedom, autonomy, and the development of inner responsibility in children are valued.
