PROFILE
I was born in Brazil in 1973 and have experienced my own physiotherapy treatments since I was a child. It all started when I was 11 years old, diagnosed with severe scoliosis. The prognosis of orthopedists indicated surgery, but it wasn’t an option for my father, so I started with conservative treatment, I was put in a cast that mobilized my whole trunk for 6 months, like Frida Kalo! Then I had to use an orthopaedic vest for 2 years, in which, during that time I did physiotherapy, but none of these treatments helped to minimize my scoliosis, however, fortunately I never had pain.My journey began seeking self-healing, searching for doctors and taking many physiotherapy treatments in different countries, like Brazil, Spain, USA, England and Singapore.From Brazil I moved to London, where my daughter was born, then to Singapore, where my son was born. After that we moved to New York, that was when a friend suggested that I took Gyrotonic classes.I was very surprised how my vertebrates had more mobility and within 3 classes I signed up for the Pre training course.I became a Gyrotonic Master Trainer in 2013 and a Doctor Physical Therapist in 2016. In 2018 I started assisted Master Trainer Paul Horvath at Rheintal-Klinik in Germany. I became a Gyrotonic Specialized Master Trainer for the courses Applications for the Pelvic Girdle, Applications for Shoulder Girdle and Application for Scoliosis in 2021.
