Today I turn 45.
Wow — what a number!
I look back on my life with deep gratitude and admiration. My heart is full of love for all the moments I have lived, and for all the places I have visited — both within myself and around the world.
I feel deeply grateful for all the wonderful people who have crossed my path — my friends, my family, and my partner. For all the shared moments of laughter and tears. For my growth and development. For the ongoing journey of learning acceptance and trust. And for the beauty and unpredictability of life.
For over 15 years, I’ve been working as a Body-Mind-Soul therapist and facilitator, and for the past years here in the Algarve — supporting women and men through life transitions: separations, midlife crossings, grief, returning to the body, and returning to the self.
What I’ve learned, also from the work on myself : it doesn’t take much to begin the way back to yourself. Even if it is a lifelong process, taking care of ourselves.
One deep breath. One moment of stillness. And sometimes, the guidance of someone who’s walked the road.
So today, for my birthday, I want to give you something.
🎁 My birthday gift to all of you:
Back to Me — a free 12-minute guided audio practice. A simple, embodied return to yourself, drawn from 15 years of working with breath, body, and stillness.
Available in English, Portuguese and German. Comment 🌿 below or send me a DM — I’ll send it to you personally, in the language you prefer.
Auf Deutsch: Zurück zu mir. Em português: De Volta a Mim.
🌱 And what’s coming next:
✨ June 21st — ESENCIA, my one-day Summer Solstice retreat at . In English and Portuguese. A few places left.
📿 July — Zurück bei mir, a 7-day audio journey for German-speaking women turning 40+. The English and Portuguese versions follow in 2027.
🌿 October 19–23 — a deeply intimate 5-day retreat near Fuseta for German-speaking women. Only 8 places. My first retreat under my own name in a long time.
🌊 And throughout the year — 1:1 sessions in Healing Touch, Shiatsu, Massage, Family Constellations, and Río Abierto bodywork; regular yoga classes at Quinta do Pombal; group offerings in English and Portuguese growing into 2026 and 2027.
Para a minha comunidade portuguesa:
Obrigada de coração por estes anos no Algarve. Continuo a oferecer sessões individuais de Healing Touch, Shiatsu e Massagem, aulas regulares de yoga e sessões de grupo de Río Abierto e Constelações Familiares na Quinta do Pombal.
O próximo retiro de um dia ESENCIA (Solstício de Verão, 21 de junho) é também para vocês. Em 2027 haverá retiros completos em português — fiquem atentos.
O meu presente de aniversário — De Volta a Mim — está disponível também em português. Escrevam-me 🌿
With love from the Algarve,
Com Amor
