I’ve been exploring and sharing progressively since 2007, meditation (mindfulness). I was trained as a Mindfulness Instructor in Brazil. In 2016, I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue and an autoimmune disease and realized that my relationship with food, eating and my body was full of struggling and masking something deeper that I needed to address. Mindfulness, a lot of inquiries and studies helped me a lot. It became my path for awakening and I believe that through exploring this with a community is part of my growth and healing.
