Together we will uncover your strengths and build from here through guided mindfulness, meditation and relaxation exercises.
Testimonials
What my Clients Say
“Filipe has a great personality and energy and is very easy to talk to and asks great thought-provoking questions. He’s a great listener.
It was a great session, and I got a lot of clarity from a few issues I am currently experiencing in my life. Great work Filipe the world will be a much better place with more great people like you helping others.”
“During my session with Filipe, I felt an immediate sense of comfort and trust. From the very beginning, his calm and understanding approach helped create a safe and supportive environment. As the session progressed, I found myself speaking openly and honestly about things I had never really shared with anyone before. It wasn’t something I had planned or expected to do. The way Filipe listened without judgment and with genuine empathy made it feel natural.
I truly believe that his ability to make me feel at ease played a huge role in allowing me to open about some deeply personal and difficult topics. It’s not always easy to be vulnerable, but in that space, it felt not only possible but welcomed. That experience alone has had a meaningful impact on me.”
“I think Fil did a great job of actively listening. He was prompted when necessary and asked questions to understand the situation more. I felt listened to and understood. Filipe was calm and composed and gave an air of confidence and peace. He said the feelings I was having about my experiences were normal, which was comforting. I felt at ease discussing my situation.”
