one-to-one presence through material. linen holds the body. water holds the body. tea holds attention. every medium becomes a vessel for connection, presence, and the stories we carry.
bespoke robes & textile goods. each piece begins with a conversation — your story, your colors, your body. handcrafted in linen, hand-dyed cotton, and tuscan houndstooth wool. elevated by embroidered poetry inspired by inner exploration.

intuitive aquatic bodywork informed by water flow, watsu, qi gong, and massage. each session adapts to your emotional and physical state — a practice of holding, releasing, and returning to the body's oldest memory.
the body remembers water before it remembers anything else. in warm water, the nervous system can finally exhale.
one-to-one sessions in warm water. a blend of water flow, watsu, and intuitive touch. deep relaxation, emotional release, nervous system regulation.
intimate retreats weaving nature walks, sharing circles, tea ceremony, movement, dance, and water floating. small groups, warm containers, embodied connection.
tea as doorway to presence. events as aesthetic thresholds. creating atmospheres where the space itself holds the invitation — to slow down, to arrive, to meet.
an internal practice of patience and reverence. continuously sitting and sipping in silence — this is how the practice becomes integrated and can be shared.
tea ceremony since 2021. woven into retreats, gatherings, and private sessions as a practice of arriving before anything begins.
production and set design for AWARË (ancient wisdom availing resonant equilibrium) in lisbon and mexico city. curating art installations, coordinating collaborators, designing atmospheres down to the flowers, the fabric on stage, the quality of light.
production for Love Academy in mexico city — logistics, design, marketing, and creating welcoming containers where content, space, and guest experience align.
raised between the tropical coast of bahia and an island in rio de janeiro, by a family of explorers and artists. a visit to japan at a young age left a mark that would surface later — in kimono silhouettes, in reverence for material, in the patience of ceremony.
fashion design in milan. graphic design and painting in lisbon. a rebirth in mexico — tulum, the water, the body. florence became an inner renaissance, the birthplace of mend a mano. now based between portugal, mexico, and italy.
languages: portuguese, english, italian, spanish.
