About me

I've founded Achieving Empowerment in October 2022. The company was literally registered on Lakshmi's day. With her blessings and the lights of Diwali enlightening me, I founded my very first company, as a side business, with the goal of empowering more people to achieve what I have achieved this far in my life and career. Hopefully without half the hassle I had to go through, since I will teach them what I've learned, tested and has worked for me.

In 2023, I will celebrate 20 years of my 1st job in Hospitality, and part of my celebrations included founding Achieving and co-writing a book on the subject. It's been a long way here, that's for sure. Over these almost 20 years I've done so much: worked night shifts while getting my degrees in my early 20s, travelled to several countries, emigrated, fell down and got back on my feet many times. Throughout all that, I've always made sure I was growing in my career and getting promoted every 2-3 years. I've always been very aware that if I didn't do it for myself, nobody else would. I am still doing that, by the way.

I discovered I was pregnant literally a couple of months after moving from my hometown, Rio de Janeiro, to São  Paulo in order to grow and develop my career. Becoming a single mother at 31, I felt  that I had no choice but to do both jobs at the same time. I raised my son and develop my career, with pretty much the same passion and dedication. To me, one could only exist with the other, after all, I had 2 mouths to feed and I wanted my son to have the same lifestyle I had growing up - or even better. Of course my family and friends supported me a lot throughout this journey over the years, but on the daily life, it's been mostly just us. And there is not a single day in my life that I am not grateful for my journey. My spiritual teacher always says that "Life doesn't happen "TO" you, it happens "FOR" you." 

In 2016, I've emigrated from Brasil to Ireland with my son on one hand and a few suitcases on the other. As we say in Brazil "with my face and my courage". For the 1st time in my career, I've made the conscious decision to downgrade my job title, in order to upgrade my lifestyle: after all, we would be living in Europe, in a 1st world country, with the Old Continent on our backyard. I knew I would have to re-climb  some steps on the corporate ladder, one step at a time. Which I surely did:  6 years after this move, not only I've got my 1st mortgage and became a homeowner, but also I've got a Senior Manager role and  I put myself on the top 5% of Ireland's  population in terms of monthly income.

I've always been a spiritual person, as learned from my mother and grandmother, but over the last couple of years, I've been getting more in touch with this aspect of m life. One of the things that I've realized with the help of my amazing friend and therapist is that, not surprisingly, for me to achieve this level of success on my career, and in other aspects of my life, I've had to dab into my masculine energy A LOT over the years.  Even though I have had some wonderful male (and female) superiors throughout my life (and still do), is not always easy to be the only woman on the table, to manage some types of man, to make sure your voice is heard. That has caused an unbalance on my  yin and yang energies, and the consequences are seen on several areas of my life. As I started working towards achieving this balance,  studying and applying tools from Pranic Healing®, Meditations, Systemic Constellation, Divine Feminine, Women's Circles, and others, I've been feeling deeper connection with the feminine energy we all have inside us. Since the moment I started  combining my spirituality and my energy works with my daily life - at home and at work, the results have been extraordinary. I've achieved so many things - and a lot easier. 

I've been feeling deep in my soul the call to help other women achieve what I've achieved, and also to reconnect with sistership.

Come with me!! Together, we are stronger!
