I became a life coach through my own journey of reinvention and years of helping others believe in themselves. As a woman over 40, an immigrant from Brazil, and someone who rebuilt her life after many years in New York and then again in Los Angeles, I understand what it means to search for clarity, purpose, and fulfillment in a new season of life.

For many years, through movement and dance, I helped people feel more confident in their bodies, more expressive, and more connected to their strength. Witnessing those transformations made me realize that I wanted to support women not only through movement, but in other important areas of their lives.

After speaking with many women navigating transition and reinvention, I felt called to become a coach and create Rooted & Rising for Women—a place where women can feel grounded in who they are while rising into a more aligned, confident, and meaningful life.
