I am an experienced massage therapist, aromatherapist and bodyworker. I’m passionate about holistic therapies, body, mind and emotional well being, plant medicine and nutrition. Currently based in the beautiful south west coast of Portugal.
A little bit about me…
I’ve been on the path of exploring Mind-Body connection by practising yoga and meditation since the age of 14. It was clear to me that my life purpose is to help people to achieve their ultimate well-being, balanced health and feeling whole in their bodies.
I qualified as an Aromatherapist and Massage therapist in 2015, training at the Institute of Traditional Herbal and Aromatherapy at Regent’s University, London. My attraction and fascination with the secret power of the plants have been my guide in my Aromatherapy path by creating unique and powerful essential oil blends for clients. It was amazing to see the calming and relaxing effects the treatments had on the patients – truly an emotional and humbling experience.
I have increased my knowledge in advanced training in deep tissue massage which brought me to treat athletes, Yoga and Pilates teachers, dancers, bodywork therapists and those who suffer from pains and injuries with a focus on quick recovery and reducing tension in the body.
I am passionate about women's health and as a woman and a mother of 2, I can relate to and help women on their motherhood journey from childbirth preparation to recovery and restoring the body after giving birth. As well as women in their menarche and menopause. I am offering nourishing and grounding treatments with consideration of the feminine lunar cycle.
It was my privilege to work in a cancer care centre as an oncology massage therapist in London. Supporting people who are dealing with cancer, people on their end of life journey their family members. This work was extremely meaningful and taught me about sensitivity, awareness and quality of touch.
Being enthusiastic about natural and organic beauty products and rituals I’ve become Neal’s Yard Holistic facial therapist practising ‘Natural face Lift’ massage and other beauty treatments. providing treatments promoting relaxation and rejuvenation in a natural and healthy way.
I offer highly intuitive and therapeutic massage treatments combining different massage techniques and tailor-made essential oil blends to fit each client's needs. enthusiastic bodywork who believes in bringing the body and mind to balance.
