Isabella believes in the power of transformation through a modernized approach to spirituality, one which is adapted to our daily lives.
Since childhood, she was always interested in esoteric themes and began studying Yoga when she was 15. She complimented her knowledge of alternative health, diving into Western Medicine and other medical studies in London, discovering a scientific community that sought to combine the wisdom of science and spirituality.
With this vision of holistic health, Isabella returned to her home in Brazil and began building her own bridges between these two worlds through Ayurveda along with psychology, pranic healing, Bach Flower remedies, and Lomi Lomi massage techniques. Today she also works with plants of power and medicines to heal trauma.
Isabella's mission is to help people achieve a fuller and healthier life, educating them on the subject of
spirituality and teaching a simple methodology for the personal empowerment of each individual.
Isabella hosts retreats worldwide, including teacher training and workshops near her current home in Algodões, Bahia.
