I'm an outside-the-box relationship coach for folks who are ready to create connections that break free from society's made up rules. After finally getting the memo that I was queer at the tender age of 47, I realized most people could use some help in breaking out of whichever BS box they’ve been stuck in forever, so I took it upon myself to become their relationship spark plug and soul fluffer ⚡️ I use principles of polyamory to help people reinvent their monogamous, platonic, and even professional relationships, because who doesn't love a connection based on openness, trust, and shared agreements? 🤩For almost 20 years, I was a cancer surgeon, but after having my second baby (at 44!) I decided I wanted to free myself from endless work hours, toxic work environments, and unflattering scrubs. I put away my scalpel to, instead, dissect people’s minds and help them cut out the “shoulds” and "musts" from their brains forever, so they can build relationships on their own terms, to the absolute horror of the patriarchy police 🔥A native of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, I've lived in NYC, Washington, DC, and Hawai'i, and I now call Austin, Texas my home, as a single mama to two awesome dudes. I dance every day, curse like a rapper in a freestyle battle, and don’t give a single crap about people who think I should start behaving my age 🤷🏻♀️As a side note, I have all the support I need to run my business, so I'm not accepting connections who claim to "help coaches reach 10k months" or anything of the sort.

Host6Ft Apart Podcast Mar 2020 - Jul 2020The 6ft Apart was a limited series podcast, launched right after the pandemic first hit. It was a daily live show, streamed of Facebook, where other coaches were interviewed by me about topics to help people cope with our new reality. Some of the conversations included: how to manage your emotions on a crisis, how to keep your sobriety while at home, how to homeschool your kids, and many more. There were 20 episodes that can still be extremely helpful today, even as we are able to resume life as we previously knew it, because what's the point of being locked down for so long and not learn anything new abut ourselves?

Breast Cancer SurgeonMalama Cirurgia Do Cancer 2014 - Oct 2017Rio De Janeiro, BrazilIn my private practice, I provide patient care, education and counseling for women with a variety of breast concerns: benign diseases, diagnosed breast cancer, suspicious lesions, and those at high risk for malignant tumors in the breast. One of the most satisfying aspects of my job is to witness a patient leave my office less terrified about her diagnosis than when she came in, with enough information to decrease her fear and give her confidence and hope.Since 2014 I have maintained a high traffic educational website (in Portuguese) to extend this knowledge to women beyond my clinic. It has been incredibly rewarding to be able to reach people who have less access to specialists in their quest for answers about their disease, and inform the general public about recent health topics.
