Transform Your Mind, Body, and Spirit with Trust Your Fascia Yoga

I was born in São Paulo, Brazil, to a vibrant mix of spirit and structure. My mother was an intuitive woman — deeply connected to nature, animals, and the unseen. From her, I inherited a natural sense of service, sensitivity, and the healing wisdom of plants, cycles, and the body. My father, a disciplined military man, gave me grounding — the strength to create structure and show up fully for what I believe in.

I studied Business, imagining a future in corporate Brazil. But after graduation, I came to the U.S. to study English — just for a season. Then, everything changed. My mother passed away, and her death cracked something open in me. Grief reshaped my priorities. I stayed.

In my search for stability, I became a personal trainer, hoping to guide others toward transformation through movement. But something still felt missing. I was helping bodies, but not touching the soul.

One day, I walked into a yoga class — and everything shifted.
There was breath.
There was silence.
There was space for my grief, my questions, and a deeper connection I hadn’t yet named.
Yoga didn’t just move my body — it moved me.

That moment led me down a new path.
I traveled to India. I studied meditation, breathwork, and traditional yoga. I met the teachers who would shape my practice — including Richard Freeman and Mary Taylor, whose guidance still echoes in my work.
Eventually, I moved to Boulder, Colorado — and that’s where I found Rolfing.

After a long-standing injury healed through the Rolf Method, I felt a deep yes in my body.
This, too, needed to be part of my path.
I trained in the Rolf Institute and began offering bodywork that went beyond muscle — into fascia, into memory, into what the body holds but doesn’t say.

Today, I weave together Rolfing, yoga, Ayurveda, breath, and sound.
Each session is an invitation to come home — not just to your body’s structure, but to its intelligence.

Trust Your Fascia isn’t just a name.
It’s a way of living — a reminder that your body is wise, your rhythm is sacred, and your healing doesn’t need to be rushed.
You are not a project to fix.
You are a being to celebrate.
