About me

Little facts about me…
But I would rather have a coffee to give you the chance to get to know me in person. ;)
I am a Brazilian by heart.
Married to a wonderful – more than I may deserve – Brazilian as well.
I am a mother of a 5-year-old boy who came to my life to teach me what the essence of life really is.
Well, you may have already noticed, I am a lucky girl.
I am petite – 1.51 cm. Do not laugh. One centimeter matters. :)
I am 38 years old.
I am Taurus – the 16th of May – and I love receiving little messages on my birthday. As a good Taurus, I am stubborn (not more than my dear friend Renata – just a little inside joke).
I like good food, good wine, long sleeping hours and being comfortable.
I used to work hard but experience is teaching me to work smart. ;)
I cook quite well.
In my previous life I was a psychologist and executive coach. Can we stop being those?
I keep diaries. Which is a powerful therapeutic tool for me.
I have faced cancer in my inner family three times. Each time it hurt differently, and each time I learned different lessons.
I did therapy three times and am a huge advocate for it. Therapy is the best gift and investment you can give to yourself and those who you love.
I believe that being mindful is a state, one should work daily to be in that state. That is what I am working on.
As a teenager I wanted to be an actress. I performed a lot on my school time.
