I began my journey as a healer more than 23 years ago as a Psychotherapist, with a Master's in Counseling Psychology and Post Graduation degree (Brazil) in Transpersonal Psychology. Through my own journey of sexual healing towards wholeness and expanded pleasure, I have come to believe that there is a lot more to sex and pleasure than what our culture has led us to believe. I received a Certification as a Shamanic Medicine Woman in 2015, a Certification as a Tantric Therapist and Rebirther in 2016, I later went on to complete a Certified Relationship and Sexuality Coach course in 2018. In addition to Tantra, Coaching, Rebirthing, Shamanism, I also work with many diverse forms of Reiki!
