About Me

I am from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In 2017 I left London (where I lived for 5 years) went on a 5 month study trip to India, where I practiced massage, ayurveda and all kinds of healing practices. Since August I've been living in Santiago de Compostela, working in a Montessori School. I'm looking forward to getting to know the Galician carnival traditions :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

2017 was an amazing year... I visited Findhorn Foundation (Scotland) where Gaia Education was created, I left London for good after 5 years living there and went off to India for 5 months, where I studied massage, energetic therapies, ayurveda and Montessori pedadogy. Back from India, I moved to Santiago where I now work in a Montessori School. On top of that, I spent 2 weeks in Mozambique with syntropic agriculture master Ernst Gotsch and many locals and brazilians , learning about agroforestry.

2017 foi um ano bem incrível...visitei Findhorn, uma comunidade alternativa na Escócia onde nasceu o Gaia Education, fui embora de Londres depois de 5 anos e passei 5 meses na India estudando massagem, práticas energéticas e terapias holísticas, ayurveda e pedagogia montessoriana. Ao voltar da India, me mudei pra Santiago de Compostela para trabalhar em um colégio Montessori. Ainda no mesmo ano, estive em Mozambique com Ernst Gotsch, pesquisador e agricultor suiço radicado no Brasil, para uma vivência de agricultura sintrópica.
