My Journey Through the Years

Click a year to explore the experiences, training and milestones that shaped my path.

2010 Moving from Brazil to New Zealand

In 2010, I moved from Brazil to Aotearoa New Zealand.

I began establishing my life, family and community in a new country while remaining connected to my Brazilian culture and heritage.

2013 Experiencing a major health challenge

In 2013, I experienced significant mental health challenges.

During this period, I began seeking support and exploring approaches that could help me better understand my emotional, spiritual and personal wellbeing.

2016 Training in Reiki and discovering essential oils

In 2016, I began my formal Reiki training.

During the same year, I discovered doTERRA essential oils and began learning about their use in supporting emotional, physical and energetic wellbeing.

2017 Becoming a mother

In 2017, I welcomed my son, Joel.

Becoming a mother introduced a new chapter of responsibility, care and family life.

2019 Beginning my work in aged care

In 2019, I applied for a volunteer role at an aged-care facility.

On my first day, I was invited to assist the Activities Coordinator with resident activities and social engagement.

Within approximately one month, I moved into a paid role at the facility.

I later qualified as a Diversional Therapist and began developing and facilitating therapeutic and recreational programmes for residents.

My work also gave me direct experience of ageing, illness, social isolation and end-of-life care within an aged-care environment.

2021 Completing my Tarot training

In 2021, I completed my Tarot training.

I began incorporating intuitive Tarot readings into my practice as a tool for reflection, guidance and personal insight.

2022 Welcoming Charlie into the family

In 2022, I welcomed my dog, Charlie, into our family.

Charlie became an important part of our home and everyday family life.

2024 Training in AQUA Quantum Energy Healing

Toward the end of 2024, I discovered AQUA Healing—Amplified Quantum Universal Alignment.

After experiencing this modality personally, I decided to undertake practitioner training in AQUA Quantum Energy Healing.

2025 Reiki Master, wellness advocacy and solo motherhood

In 2025, I stepped into the role of a solo mother.

During the same year, I achieved the level of Reiki Master.

I also became a doTERRA Wellness Advocate, allowing me to formally share information and products connected with essential-oil wellbeing.

Now End-of-life training and The Intuitive Sanctuary

I am continuing my death-doula and death-education training.

I am currently connected with the End-of-Life Doula Alliance Aotearoa as an ELDAA Associate Member.

I am also developing The Intuitive Sanctuary as the home for my Reiki, Tarot, AQUA Quantum Energy Healing, essential-oil, community and developing end-of-life services.


The philosophy my path shaped

What the Journey Taught Me

My experiences have shaped not only the work I offer, but the way I choose to meet people; with presence, compassion and respect for the path that is uniquely theirs.

Healing begins with being heard

I have learned that people do not always need to be given an answer. Sometimes, they need a safe space where they can pause, speak honestly and feel that someone is truly present with them.

This understanding sits at the heart of my work. Whether I am offering intuitive guidance, energy healing, community connection or support through a significant life transition, I begin by listening.

We carry wisdom within us

I do not believe that healing means becoming someone entirely new. I believe it often begins by returning to the parts of ourselves that have been overlooked, silenced or forgotten.

My role is not to decide another person’s path. It is to offer reflection, care and gentle guidance while they reconnect with their own inner knowing.

Every transition deserves compassion

Life continually asks us to move through beginnings, endings, uncertainty and change. Some transitions arrive with joy, while others ask more of us than we feel prepared to give.

My own path has taught me to approach these moments without judgement. I believe that people deserve dignity, patience and compassionate support while they find their footing again.

Connection is part of healing

Healing does not only happen during a private session. It can begin beside the ocean, around a fire, through a shared conversation or in the quiet recognition that we are not alone.

This is why community and belonging are central to The Intuitive Sanctuary. I want to create spaces where people can slow down, reconnect with themselves and experience meaningful connection with others.

I cannot walk your path for you, but I can offer a compassionate presence while you find your own way forward.
