Born in 1969 in Niteroi, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, I grew up surrounded by mysticism, various forms of faith, ceremonies, rituals, and a profound belief that we are all divine beings capable of magical feats.

At age 13, I began to practice energy healing in the form of Johrei, a Japanese method of channeling energy through the hands and solar plexus. This was one of the first and biggest steps along my journey of service to others. Before fully accepting the responsibility and honor of a healing facilitator and answering the call to serve others, I tried to conform to society's standards and failed, as conforming was not part of my Dharma.
