WHO I AM
I am a globetrotter. I am an explorer. I am a believer.
I believe that non-judgemental listening is the key for better understanding others and helping them to reach their full potential.
I believe we can always get a deeper insight on life. I believe in simplicity. I believe in welcoming change. I believe there is always a new journey to be started. I believe that becoming a better version of ourselves is our mission in this life.

LIFE AND PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
After graduating in Business and getting a postgraduate degree in Global Trade I’ve joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in my birth land, Brazil. Starting by Latin American Politics and Commerce, my experience at the ministry led me to fields as diverse as Human Rights, Protocol and Middle Eastern Politics.
My marriage brought me to the Netherlands, where a whole new life unfolded. Far away from Brazilian diplomacy but now married to a Dutch diplomat, I discovered Coaching when we moved to Geneva, Switzerland, where I became a Certified Professional Coach.
Another exciting chapter started when we moved to Greece. Living in Athens was a life changing journey that led me to a much deeper understanding of life, human nature and spirituality.
During our stay in Athens, photography, another passion discovered in Switzerland, got momentum and that was translated in six exhibitions and a lot of fun.
After a brief stop in the Netherlands it was time to discover the delights of living in Brussels. Fine gastronomy, ice skating, fashion, a deeper insight on art history and then … a pandemic. Suddenly the dynamic Belgian capital was put in suspended animation. Lockdown was the word du jour. An unimaginable situation but also a perfect opportunity to rethink our lifestyle, to reinvent ourselves and to refine our soft skills, what I believe to be essential for successfully writing the next chapters of our lives.
