I grew up in an alternative family and started meditating by the influence of my parents when I was around 7 years old. I have always been aware of the subtle energies through the practice of channeling healing of Johrei on my family, friends and even in public places such as hospitals and on the streets in Brazil. Since early age I have studied and participated in psychic surgery groups from the Spiritism philosophy, crystal activation rituals, shamanic initiated and I am a certified Reiki practitioner.
I have received precious buddha-dharma teachings from the Vajrayana/Dzogchen (Ta**ra) tradition from Kagyu lineage and throughout the last eight years I have engaged in various meditative retreat work, including a 6 weeks silent retreat, with support and guidance from my beloved root teacher Lama Yongdu Chokyi Gyaltsen. In addition, since 2014 I have studied Taoist energy arts, including Qigong, Tai Chi and Tui Na, holding over 500hrs of Qigong training by different lineage holders of the Internal Martial Arts, including deep immersion up in the Wudang Mountains in China - the home of Tai Chi.

*************************************************
QIGONG is the best kept secret on the planet. It is a powerful way of being healthy and balanced through opening and mobilising the body and joints, breathing techniques, slow movement exercises, standing postures, special walking methods and meditation for the purposes of self-healing and wellbeing.
I primarily look at developing sensitivity to Qi/Chi (life force energy) by coming into greater awareness of our physical and energetic body, and how they influence our mind and spirit, activating the flow of energy and strengthening each of the meridians and organs in our body, in preparation for connecting to the energy of heaven above and earth below.
I am a certified Qigong and Tai Chi instructor by different lineage holders of the Internal Alchemy Arts and have been studying and teaching Qigong internationally since 2014.
The most recent lineage studied was an intensive 2 months - over 300hrs training in China under Master Yuang Xiu Gang 袁修刚, the 15th Generation of the Wudang San Feng Pai lineage, and also by his disciple Jake Pinnick (Daoist Name: 平懋资根, Ping Mao Zi Gen). The current Grandmaster Zhong Yun Long 钟云龙 has defined San Feng Pai as a system of martial arts 武术, health-cultivation practices 养生功, and inner alchemy 内丹.
I hold over 200hrs of Qigong Instructor training from Energy Arts School with Master Bruce Frantzis of Taoism Water tradition and from the Wu Style Tai Chi passed down by Grandmaster Liu Hung Chieh. I have also done Inner Alchemy practices course with Master Mantak Chia of the Quanzhen School lineage and founder of the Universal Healing Tao System. And my first teacher was Kailash Kokopelli, whose form was influenced by Osho Divine Healing Exercises lineage.
Private and group classes available.
***********************************************
HOLISTIC MENTORING based on the Dreamspell system and Transpersonal Psychology. Written/ personally or Skype, about an hour session. Couple/family readings available as group workshops.
It provides in depth personal recognition of its own pre-existing self-nature based on the natural 13 moon calendar system, the Tzolkin, used by the Mayan people in Mexico and Guatemala, influenced also by the Chinese I-Ching text and Tibetan calendar. The sessions will support you in giving attention and awareness to the more subtle and yet more satisfying inner dimensions of your being through tapping into your different existing archetypes.
The 13 Moon Dreamspell system serves to access the unconscious that lies at the base of old patterns in order to shift them, anchoring us deeply in our purpose on the planet at this time, inspiring to live the ever expanding fullness of who we are. This creates the fourth-dimensional reality, the synchronic order.
I was attuned to the Dreamspell system wisdom in 2010 by Vasumi, when first received my archetype Blue Cosmic Eagle. Since then, I went to sacred sites in Mexico and have been studying and sharing this magical tool with everyone who is open and ready to tap into their own power aligned with divine/universal power.
Through the 13-moon calendar,
the human consciousness can enter into a higher frequency,
a galactic consciousness frequency!
