My story
​
From Filmmaker to Healer
I was born in Lisbon, Portugal, and grew up on a hill not far from the sea. I was a bit of a rebel and my life has been an ever-evolving journey of creativity, healing, and exploration.
My early path led me to creative arts, painting and photography first, then to filmmaking, where I worked professionally. I wrote, directed and edited several films, including two award-winning feature films. I won the Critic's Week Award at Venice Film Festival when I was only 26. I still make films but outside the film industry, now they are more like poems, in a DIY style, using images as a meditative practice.
Discovering Shiatsu in 2003 changed everything—it opened a door to a deeper, more holistic way of seeing and experiencing life and I enjoyed the deep intimate connection with people while supporting their healing journey.
Since then, I have learned many healing modalities and woven together storytelling and healing; using images, sound, and words as meditation, a way to explore the depths of life, and a form of healing art.
I created my website Cloud healing hands, which has become the home to my healing work. This space allows me to offer distant energy healing, and support for those on their own journeys of transformation and self-discovery.
​
A Life of Wanderings and Exploration
I traveled as a filmmaker and artist, moving between international film festivals, scriptwriting workshops, artist residencies, and soul journeys. I lived in Lisbon, Bordeaux, Philadelphia, London and Brighton. My wanderings took me to faraway lands—South Korea, Finland, Morocco, Canada, and Jamaica—each place shaping and deepening my understanding of life, spirit, and the interconnectedness of all things.
​
A Soul Journey: Healing and Transformation
After the loss of my partner, burnout and a heart operation, there was a time of deep grief and slowing down. Meditation and mindfulness opened the way to deep self-healing. Gradually I entered a period of deep transformation. Then, for seven years, I went on a soul journey, living in a liminal zone of unknown, moving between many different places — I lived in cities, in the countryside, by the sea, in Buddhist monasteries, an artist residency, a caravan, and a hut on a hill. During this time, I wrote Travelling Like Clouds: The Art of Being Present, and made a film-meditation following my outer and inner journeys, called the Soul Journey.​
Finding Solitude, Connection, and New Beginnings
When the pandemic arrived, I immersed myself in nature, planting the garden of the soul, co-creating with the Earth, and wrote my second book The Depths of Stillness. I self-published both books, in 2020 and 2021, which are still available to buy.
At this time I did a series of courses and experiential learning as a student to deepen my own soul work and healing - I focused on somatic trauma (with Thomas Hubl), soulcraft (Bill Plotkin) and more. I also started discovering the Akashic Records and past lives therapy, which was the beginning of a long term discovery and healing of past lives & karmic issues.
At that time I started giving energy treatments at a distance. This period of solitude, meditation and reconnection with nature birthed a new path — one that called me to connect more deeply with Spirit and Nature and to offer my healing gifts more widely, offering hundreds of sessions during the pandemic including the collaboration with Reiki-Medic to support NHS nurses and doctors with distant reiki. A new awakening during a solo silent retreat, moved things forward into new directions...
​
Developing New Healing Methods
I returned to London, and began a new chapter. I worked with thousands of clients doing Shiatsu on chair in a walk-in clinic while continuing developing my healing methods through deep, long-term work with private clients, combining Shiatsu, energy and sound healing. My focus is on trauma-informed healing and working with highly sensitive people, specially women.
Over time I continued to learn - tuning forks, tibetan bowls, quantum-touch and became a Reiki master. This period deepened my experience as an energy healer and allowed me to integrate everything I had learned, including my own trauma and self-healing.
​
While in the city, I was found a home near a small forest — there I created a sanctuary, surrounded by trees, foxes, birds, and cats — which became a nurturing space for my soul that allowed me to enter a new stage of my life and I began to write again...
​
A New Chapter: Earth Guardian
At 53, writing brings me solace and reflection as I integrate my life lessons and spiritual awakenings. I left the city for a new stage in my life and to deepen my Earth Guardian purpose. I hope my healing - in all its forms - can contribute to more peace in the world.
