Eva Ullmann
Eva is a former Olympic gymnast and Argentinian national champion, who represented her country internationally for several years. After gymnastics, she became a certified Pilates Instructor (PMA) and 500-hour Yoga Teacher (Yoga Alliance), with over 15 years of teaching experience and many others certifications in movement and biomechanics.
Specializing in therapeutic and somatic movement, Eva blends her deep understanding of body mechanics with a holistic approach to wellness.
Her passion for healing led her to India, where she studied Ayurveda and Sound Therapy, as well as her experience of Cacao rituals through Mexico and Guatemala have deepened her connection to vibrational healing, where she uses her voice, musical instruments and her knowledge to hold space.
Today, Eva feels deeply connected to practices that bring presence and alignment with the heart’s true intention. As co-founder of Aureo Wellness Journey in Pescadero, BCS, she has created a sanctuary for others to explore movement, healing, and self-awareness.

The Family
Eugenia Moreno
My love and curiosity for the ocean brought me to Baja California Sur to study Marine Biology, where I found not only a deep connection with nature but also with people. Through my experience working in Hospitality, I discovered the beauty of welcoming others with warmth and presence: how the way you are received can transform an experience entirely.
Guided by the art of simplicity and the power of small, meaningful gestures, I hope to make everyone who walks into Aureo Wellness Journey feel seen, cared for and at home.
In addition to caring for the space and everyone who experience the magic of Aureo, Eugenia leads our Marine Biology Workshops for Kids, creating a unique space of learning, connection and harmony, where children can explore, learn, and enjoy themselves within a loving and safe environment.
