Health isn't one size fits all. It never was.

Here's the philosophy behind everything I do at Ritmo SomatIQ.

ritmo somatIQ is built on one belief: true health begins when you stop fighting your body and start listening to it.

My approach brings together biomedical science, naturopathy, holistic health and somatic awareness, not because I couldn't choose one, but because your body doesn't work in silos. Neither should the way you care for it.

I draw on research in immunology, neuroscience, hormonal health and so much more… alongside naturopathic principles that honour your body's own healing rhythm. The result is guidance that is rigorous enough to be effective and human enough to actually stick.

This isn't about control. It's about understanding. When you understand what your body is doing and why, everything changes:
the way you eat, the way you rest, the way you move through each season of your life.

Every person who comes to ritmo somatIQ is different.
What doesn't change is the approach: root cause over symptom management, connection over correction, rhythm over rigidity.

Meet Finoula,

I’m Finoula Maestre Osorio, a Biomedical Scientist, certified Yoga and Meditation teacher, and holistic health advocate dedicated to helping others live in rhythm with their bodies.

With a Master’s in Cancer Research and a currently finishing my PhD in Immunotherapy for Cutaneous Melanoma, my work is deeply rooted in biomedical science, but my path has always extended beyond the laboratory. Alongside my research, I’m also studying Naturopathy and Holistic Health, exploring how natural and somatic practices can support the body’s innate capacity to heal.

Living through chronic illness (Lyme Disease) and witnessing how lifestyle influences disease and recovery inspired me to bridge the worlds of science, mindfulness, and embodied awareness.

ritmo somatIQ grew from that integration, a philosophy of living that honours both the analytical and the intuitive, the cellular and the emotional. Through this work, I aim to share tools and practices that empower you to reconnect with your body’s natural intelligence, restore balance, and cultivate lasting wellbeing.

Where science meets soul - and healing becomes a rhythm you can live by.

What I believe In …

Life is a science – and you are the experiment.

Every moment is an opportunity to observe, learn, and realign with your body’s natural rhythm.

I believe in building simple, sustainable habits: small steps that, over time, create real transformation. Healing and growth don’t come from perfection, but from consistency, curiosity, and compassion.

Technology can be a tool for awareness rather than distraction: a way to track your rhythm, tune into your cycles, and stay accountable to what truly supports you.

I believe in feeling fully: allowing emotions to move through the body instead of holding them in. Even on difficult days, softness and self-expression can be forms of medicine.

True wellbeing isn’t about constant positivity or endless productivity.

It’s about balance: learning to rest when you need to, to move when you feel ready, and to prioritize your health above the noise of achievement.

Some days, self-care looks like breathwork and movement. Other days, it’s staying in your pyjamas, watching your favourite show, and allowing yourself to simply be.

There’s no single formula for living well, only the one that feels right in your body.
My work is about helping you find that personal rhythm: letting go of what no longer serves you and creating a life that feels meaningful, healthy, and entirely your own.

Healing isn’t about doing more — it’s about learning to listen better.

My pillars for healthy living

  • Anti-inflammatory nutrition

    Food is information. What you eat either supports your body's natural balance or disrupts it, and most people have never been shown the difference for their specific body.

  • Metabolic health

    Your metabolism isn't broken, it's responding to its environment. Understanding how your body produces and uses energy changes everything.

  • Nervous system care

    You cannot heal in a body that feels unsafe. Learning to regulate your nervous system is the foundation everything else is built on.

  • Cycle awareness (both women and men)

    Your energy, mood, focus and hunger shift throughout the month for a reason. Working with your cycle instead of against it is one of the most powerful things you can do.

  • Hormonal harmony

    Hormones govern almost everything, sleep, weight, mood, energy, skin. When they're out of balance, everything feels harder. When they're supported, everything flows.

  • Detox & lymphatic support

    Your body detoxifies constantly, but it needs the right conditions to do it well. This pillar is about removing what's blocking it and supporting what's already working.

  • Learning, joy & purpose

    Health isn't only physical. A life without meaning, pleasure and growth is a life the body struggles to sustain. This is the pillar most programs forget.

My Story

My curiosity for science and the human body began when I was five years old. My parents gave me a microscope for Christmas, and I spent hours peering through it, examining everything I could find. I’d hide under my bed with it after bedtime, completely captivated by the hidden worlds I could see through the lens.

That same curiosity grew into a lifelong calling.
At ten, while other children played in the library, I was drawn to books about illness and healing, trying to understand why people I loved could get sick, and why my grandfather’s cancer had taken him so soon. Years later, when I lost my grandmother, my best friend, to cancer, I made myself a promise: to dedicate my life to understanding this disease and helping others live in ways that support healing.

That promise became my path. I studied Biomedical Sciences, completed a Master’s in Cancer Research, and I am now finishing my PhD in Cancer Immunotherapy.
But as I journeyed deeper into science, I also began living with chronic illness (Lyme Disease), and I realized that true health is not just biological, it’s emotional, energetic, and deeply personal.

To bridge these worlds, I studied Yoga and Meditation, and later began training in Naturopathy and Holistic Health, seeking to understand the whole human system, not just its cells.
Through that integration, ritmo somatIQ was born: a space where science meets somatics, and where healing becomes a rhythm, not a routine.

The Evolution of a Dream

Before ritmo somatIQ, back wen I was studying my master in 2018, I created a small blog called My Science Closet, a place where I shared recipes and how food could have an impact on our health. At that moment, I still had a long journey to go until I finsihed my studies, so I wanted to find a way to already start helping people… and thought maybe sharing my knowledge was a good way of starting.

Over time, that space evolved with me.
As I worked with mentors and deepened my studies, I realized that what I was building wasn’t just a blog, it was a philosophy of living.

And after hundreds of branding names changes, styles, messaging, offerings, trial and errors..., kind of my own experiment testing…

rimto somatIQ is the continuation of that vision, bringing together education, embodiment, and awareness to help others create a lifestyle that feels healthy, calm, and fulfilling.

To the Healthy Life Dreamers

This space is for the dreamers, the ones who want to live meaningfully, not just productively.
For those learning to listen to their bodies, to build balance without pressure, and to live with intention rather than intensity.

You don’t have to have it all figured out to live in rhythm.
Just begin where you are, stay curious, and trust that your body already knows the way.

Because life really is a science — and you get to be both the researcher and the masterpiece.
