​

I was that discreet and even quite introverted child who wanted to go as unnoticed as possible.

 

The fact that at the age of 13 I started to develop nodule-cystic acne on my face and back that got worse over the years, didn't help at all. 

​

I had many moments when I didn't want to leave the house because I looked in the mirror and was ashamed of my appearance. I considered myself ugly and unworthy of being seen and loved by anyone, including myself. 

​

I tried to treat this manifestation on the skin in different ways, resorting to conventional medicine and alternative medicines, but in all these attempts there was no lasting result, there was a temporary improvement that quickly returned to the starting point. 

​

The most curious thing was that in all the medical examinations that I underwent, the cause was not detected because, contrary to what would be expected, there was no hormonal imbalance or any other that would justify that symptom that was verified in the most visible place of the body (for me and the others): the face. 

​

In 2008, a great desire to start learning more about myself arose, as I began to question myself about the greater purpose of life and, particularly, the purpose of my own life, an answer that aroused in me a great motivation to open myself to experience of living, as until then had not happened. 

​

This made me feel a great attraction for the area of personal and spiritual development, reading hundreds of books, participating in workshops, retreats, courses, practices and rituals of different spiritual/religious beliefs such as Buddhism, Hinduism, Catholicism, Umbanda, spiritism and shamanism that I have been combining, creating my own way of working, with myself and with others.  

​

Although I got many of the answers I was looking for and learned a lot, what was undeniable is that my body continued to communicate something to me through the appearance of my skin that I was not able to decode. 

​

It was so frustrating, no matter what I did, I still had acne, sometimes milder, and other times so aggressive that it completely undermined my self-esteem and made me want to be isolated from everyone and everything. 

​

However, I discovered that I can run away from everything and everyone, except myself! 

​

There were several turning points in this situation, of which I highlight two: 

​

- Ofirst that's when I found a North American website in which a group of mediums channeled messages from Spiritual Masters and answered the questions that people from the most diverse parts of the world sent. I explained this situation and the answer I received was this: 

​

Response:You are dealing with internal chemical imbalances within your physical body. Your mental/emotional state is preventing you from reversing these results because you have established a belief that "this is the way it is". You are a fragment of Source energy with all the powers and abilities that Source contains. You can do anything if you accept, believe, know and use these abilities. First start with your life lessons. What do you doubt or fear? Become aware of these beliefs and release them. Replace them with a beautiful body without conflicts. (08/04/2018)

​

At the time, I could not fully understand this message, it only happened over time when I realized how disconnected I was from myself, in particular, from my thoughts, emotions and my body. It worked automatically, without questioning my own motivations and actions.  

​

Ironically, I wanted my body to heal itself, without having to work on my automatic thoughts about myself and the painful emotions that manifested themselves through physical sensations and symptoms that I couldn't ignore.

 

To be honest, it wasn't just the skin, I also had period pains so intense I sometimes thought I was going to pass out, constant anxiety and a general lethargy towards life.  

​

I began to become aware of my low level of self-esteem and self-confidence, of how much I repressed my emotions because I thought they were an enemy to fight, of the fear of expressing my opinions and needs because I did not trust my perceptions and because I believed that this distanced others from me and how much I invested my time and energy into everything and anything but myself.  

​

Awareness alone does not bring about change, it only occurs when you use that knowledge to make choices that change the habits that cause imbalance. 

​

Having put pride aside and asked several mentors to accompany me along this path was (and continues to be) a valuable help!

​

- The second was when I went to an aesthetics clinic for a free skin assessment and the therapist said something that deeply impacted me:

 

"Your skin just needs to be pampered a lot, it needs to feel loved."

 

Something became very clear to me: I AM my own cure!

​

This completely changed my perception of that very aggressive manifestation on the skin: my body, in its immense wisdom, was communicating how much I needed to accept myself, love myself, take care of myself and express who I was. 

​

From that day on, my priority has been to take care of myself, to love, accept and value myself, giving little daily steps to have a healthier relationship with myself (body-mind-soul), with others and with life... 

​

Today I have the confidence and courage to do things that were (almost) unthinkable before like...

 

• Speak openly about what I think, feel and desire

• travel alone

• Make live videos on social media without a script

• Provide training and facilitate group sessions

• Start conversations and meet new people anywhere

• Going outside without make-up (yes, I didn't do it at all before)

• work on your own

• Challenge myself to do new things

• Create "out of the box" projects... 

 

I discovered thatbeing confident doesn't mean being perfect because I believe that true beauty is not in perfection, but in embracing our imperfections and peculiarities, discovering and accepting the beauty of each piece of the great puzzle of the unique being that one is!  

​

Today I share everything I have learned (and continue to learn) to bring balance to the dynamic relationship betweenbody-mind-emotions-soul on a path of self-knowledge, self-discovery and self-healing with the people I work with, individually or in groups. 

​

I want to tell you that theThe challenges you are going through at this point in your life are not meant to bring you down, they are meant to help you become the most confident and powerful version of yourself. 

 

If you need coaching to become the confident person that makes others wonder what the secret to your confidence is, message me.  

​

It will be a pleasure to walk this path of empowerment with you.

 

I'm sure you have much more potential than you think!
