Somatic therapy and Grinberg Method sessions in Lisbon and Obidos
Real change happens when emotions are touched at their source — in the body.
There's a feeling, a mood, that comes with you wherever you go. It's been there for a long time. You’d like it gone.
You know and understand your feelings and your patterns, and you know why they are there. And still you keep experiencing it: the same feeling in the body, the same reaction, and the same outcomes in your life or with your loved ones. Some things live deeper than thoughts. They live in the body, and that's where they can be felt and also changed.
This work is about learning to feel what's there and how to respond to it in a new way, creating a new outcome. You don't need to go back into the past — the change happens now, in your body, by choosing differently.
If this is you, I'm glad you have discovered my work. I welcome you to share with me what you’d like to change, and we might be able to work on it together.
What happens in a somatic bodywork session?
Each session begins with a reading of your feet, which shows how stress, fear, anger and old patterns are held in your body. It shows the connection between the emotional pattern and the physical pattern (to me they are both the same, both something that the body does), and it gives us a clear place to start and a clear aim for your process. From there we work with touch and breath under my guidance. You don't need to relive a specific past event or to understand it in order to change the pattern that is imprinted in you — the change happens in the present, in the body, regardless of the past. A successful process is when you have learned how to do something differently by stopping that past automatic pattern. Then, outcomes change too, together with how you feel and your ability to bring your true potential forward.
About the Grinberg Method
Body-based personal sessions, teaching you through direct experience how to stop what stands between you and your goals and vitality. In emotional or physical difficulties, your presence in your body is the key to allowing a change. This is a powerful somatic coaching that’s aimed at reaching a result in your life by untangling what stand in your way.
Allowing body work
Tingling, heat, flows, shaking or other sensations: body work is experienced in many ways. Sometimes a cry or a laughter might move you during a session. All body work is welcome and unexpected.
The sessions are designed to allow natural flows to move through the body. Those are flows of your own energy that you will learn to physically feel. We follow the lead of the body, and it communicates very clearly when we listen.
Join us for somatic workshops and group sessions.
Workshops and events run monthly in Lisbon and Silver Coast.

I enjoy working with and feeling with people of all kinds, and that amazing satisfaction of supporting them on their path towards change.
In my life I have experienced a profound shift through this work multiple times, and I wish to make it accessible to anyone who’s in need for a change or clarity in their lives.
