The Path to Inner (and thus outer) Transformation

​

Healing begins with awareness. Expand your awareness and gain insight into the deep interconnectedness of health and wellness. Disease is not random—it is the result of patterns, habits, and deeply ingrained ways of thinking that shape our biology. Our nervous system, emotions, and thought patterns influence everything from digestion to immunity, hormonal balance, and overall well-being.

​

Many of us live in a state of unconscious stress, constantly reacting to life rather than responding to it with awareness. This prolonged stress - whether from lifestyle choices, past traumas, limiting beliefs, conditioned and/or habituated thought patterns - contribute to a dysregulated nervous system state. Over time, this dysregulation can lead to inflammation, immune dysfunction, and chronic illness.

 

Fortunately the same mechanism that creates disease can also create healing✨

Why I Do This Work

​

My life has been a journey of curiosity, resilience, health, and transformation. As an immigrant from Brazil, I navigated the challenges of learning a new language, earning my GED, serving in the U.S. Navy, and putting myself through college and medical school. I built a successful career as an anesthesiologist while raising a family. Yet, beneath these accomplishments, I was operating from a place of prolonged and activated stress.

​

In my 40s, my body forced me to stop. After years of experiencing vague symptoms, a “sudden” life-threatening thyroid condition landed me in the hospital, and conventional medicine had no answers. This crisis set me on a path of deep inquiry: What creates disease? What creates healing? Searching beyond conventional medicine, I discovered functional medicine—a gateway into a broader understanding of health, self-healing, and the interconnectedness of body, mind, and spirit. I became board-certified in functional medicine and opened a clinic to guide others in their healing journey.

​

Through years of working with patients, I witnessed people move beyond symptom treatment into deep, holistic healing. At the same time, my own journey has continued. Committed to my personal healing, I have explored spiritual awakening and dedicated myself to daily practices that have restored my nervous system’s health. This led me to a profound realization: the nervous system is a key component to resolving the root cause of most physiological imbalances.

​

Now, I am called to serve in a new way. I chose to close my clinic, release my medical license, and shift away from the clinical approach to health. My focus has shifted to guiding individuals and groups who are ready to reclaim their vitality—not through temporary fixes, but by integrating transformative practices into their daily lives.
