My Inner Alchemy
In the bustling city of Sao Paulo, Brazil, I entered a world filled with tumult and challenges. Born into a working-class family of four siblings, my role as a family healer and manager emerged early on. My older brother was self-absorbed, the younger one faced the challenges of autism, and my little sister, an innocent presence, could do no wrong.
My parents, grappling with their own traumas—one battling alcoholism, the other ensnared by narcissism—struggled to provide the stability we craved. Inspired by the legacy of my great-grandmother, the village healer, I embraced my role and dove into the world of spirituality from childhood, exploring teachings from Christianity, Buddhism, Afro-Brazilian traditions, and Gnostic wisdom in my teenage years.
As my late 20s approached, I found myself drawn to science-based healing modalities, succumbing to the belief that credibility lay only in the scientifically proven realm. For over two decades, I navigated the demanding landscapes of New Zealand and London, tirelessly working to survive in a matter-of-fact world that seemed to dismiss the spiritual.
In 2019, a profound shift occurred within me. No longer driven by the need to prove myself, I made a decision to rewrite my narrative. Early in 2020, I left the hustle and bustle of London for the serenity of Madeira Island.
This marked the beginning of a transformative journey, where I rediscovered the essence of who I truly was. The veil lifted, revealing deep-seated traumas woven into the fabric of my past. Through Breathwork Journeys, hypnotherapy sessions, and the exploration of psychedelics, I embarked on the path of self-discovery and recovery. Slowly, I began the process of coming home—home to myself. My emotional and physical health blossomed as I rekindled my connection with spirituality, enhancing the richness of my life's experience.
Today, I stand as a testament to the power of healing. I've woven a tapestry of richer connections with myself and others, embracing the diversity of my skills to guide and support those on their own journey of recovery and self-healing.
