About Me
I was born in 1978, in Portugal.
When I was a little girl and people asked me what I wanted to be when I “grew up”, I used to thought “I want to be a mother!” and I answered “An architect”. I decided to be something very similar: I have graduated in Education and Rehabilitation, and work with children and their families, since 2001.
I started working in association with a Development Center, with a multidisciplinary team, focused on a medical model.
In the meantime, I was the mother of 3 boys. In 2010, when they were 2, 6 and 9 years old, I separated from their father.
It was a tough turn around in my family and personal structure.
In 2014, I moved in with my new partner and completed a postgraduate degree in Neuropsychology. I reinforced my knowledge and pedagogical skills.
While I was still training, I became pregnant with my fourth child and our rebuilt family now includes my children, yours and ours... there are 8 of us!
In 2017, I dedicated myself body and soul to the Conscious Parenting Facilitator Certification. I developed relational knowledge and skills.
In addition to supporting the development of children with educational needs and/or Developmental Disorders, I also started working with families to promote more Conscious Parenting.
In a subtle way, intercepting my professional experience, with my parental experience, with my love for studying human behavior and development, the project that I ended up embracing and formally assuming in 2019 was designed, in partnership with Marcela Almeida (lawyer): Conscious Divorce - GP3S*.
Today I work with the intention of contributing to a culture of relationship, connection and respect, as a stage for healthy child development and well-being for adults and children.
I continue to believe in freedom and the path of combining courage and kindness.
I realized that love alone is not enough and that, now, this was evident...

I have been a Senior Technician in Special Education and Rehabilitation since 2001. I started working in a Development Center, with a multidisciplinary team, focused on a medical model. I have completed several training courses in the area, participated as a speaker in Seminars and Congresses, and given Training and Workshops. Autism and Learning Difficulties were the areas of greatest investment and recognition.
In 2014, I completed a Postgraduate Degree in Neuropsychology. I reinforced my knowledge and pedagogical skills. I acquired theoretical and practical tools that transformed my approach to intervention and assessment of child development.
In 2017, I completely dedicated myself to the Certification of Conscious Parenting Facilitator. I developed relational knowledge and skills, gained a reference for working with families and optimizing their potential to create a family context that promotes the well-being and development of all its members.
I co-created the Project - Conscious Divorce - GP3S , with Marcela Almeida (a lawyer who works mainly with families and children).
In 2020, we launched the PODCAST , named after the project, we delved into the world of social media, we wrote and edited a book, we took the first steps in training parents and professionals.
In 2023, our book was published by Guerra & Paz , with a structure matured by our experience and taken care of by the publisher.
The PODCAST continues to promote new content every week, the TRAININGS already have several editions and different learning levels (level I and level II)... Conscious Divorce and Non-Marital Parenting are increasingly integrated and accepted concepts...
