I am originally from Brazil, where I majored in Letters and Sciences and completed my Master’s Degree in Applied Linguistics with a focus in Portuguese and English.
My two major interests in life have been learning languages and healing arts. The conversion of those interests manifested in my studies and trainings in meditation and healing, such as: Silva Mind Control, Transcendental Meditation, Inner Guide Meditation, Yoga, Wu style Tai Qi, Reiki and massage while still in my home country.
In the USA, I deepened my meditation practice at the Tibetan Nyingma Institute and started my training in Chinese Medicine. I graduated from the 850 hr massage program at the Acupressure Institute and became a Diplomate in Asian Bodywork Therapy through the National Commission for Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).
Later, I further expanded my trainings in wellness and healing, studying acupuncture and herbalism in my MTCM and deepening my understanding of Chinese Medicine studying Classical Chinese Medicine and Orthopedics in my DAOM.
Nowadays I live and work in the San Francisco Bay area, where I apply different healing modalities to better tailor treatments to the well-being of patients. In my free time I enjoy traveling, hiking, swimming, and dancing, but most of all I enjoy the company of my five beautiful children.
