About Me

Coaching is only effective when you manifest truly life-changing perspectives. An effective coach has to work with his client using primarily the focus, which is, be concerned with being, not doing. To become aware of whom you really are and to start feeling comfortable about your life in general, you will need to scrutinize and confront your own habitual outlook on life itself.

By discovering one’s hidden and negative functions/agendas, and working to bring them up to date and relevant to present moment and reality, one’s entire being (mind, body and spirit) will become an instrument for opening up receptive channels of communication between one’s own true responses and those of the people who share one’s present environment. Instead of trying to influence events from the outside, one becomes an integral part of them. As summarized from Eckhart Tolle’s Satsang: It's a magical process: experiencing the power of the now instead of just observing the now.

I was born in Brazil and came to England in 1985. Since then I have travelled extensively from bases in England and the Isle of Man. I hold Brazilian and Isle of Man Passports, although I consider myself to have a world Nationality.

I am a qualified NLP, Mindfulness, Life/Psychological and Executive Coach and practice in Canary Wharf, London and the Home Counties.

Negative human emotion, such as fear, greed, anger, sadness, anxiety and hate are like storms that churn up the facade of what we perceive as “My Life”. How to understand that those distorting realities are no more than thoughts?? The goal of mindfulness coaching is therefore to stop the mental noise to open the door to our real self. The journey of self discovery is the most important action we need to take in life. From there we can take control of our mind so that we can see ourselves and the world more clearly. This brings understanding and final peace to our mind, body and spirit. Finding who we really are leaves no space for any more dramas from the world that we perceive as real. There would be only action and solution. I will point you to explore what you are beyond the surface, beyond the form, beyond any word. My goal with you is to experience the underlying reality of things - the creative life-force from which all forms of existence come into being.

The real source of beauty is the explosion that happens when you reach the centre of your being. Every cell of your being starts dancing, every fibre of your existence starts vibrating in an unknown, mysterious melody. And then there is beauty. And then there is Truth. OSHO

Life comes to us like a blank canvas. By using what we call time, our lives can be painted and transformed into a wonderful work of art. Unfortunately sometimes as we interact with the world our brush strokes become so thick and contrived that we forget what was primarily beyond the surface. We use the colours and motions to reflect our surroundings and we get lost with the mixtures. What was once joy becomes deprived of any creativity. Colours begin to fade away and we transform ourselves into a label, a name, a part of the “system”. The journey has no importance, only the destination seems to keep us happy. Life does not need to be this way. We are here to fear NOTHING, we are here to enjoy the journey. We have a purpose to be here and now, we are not part of the universe, we are the universe we are the oneness. We have power beyond our understanding.Science and Religion are finally starting to have a common understanding about who we really are and what powers we have.

This is just the beginning, just the surface. What we are going to make from this surface is up to us. We can make a difference, we can paint a beautiful work of art from all this. Or we can get lost on our own duality. We can all chose to have a life or be life and I as a coach I would love to point you to the way where NOTHING can ever hurt you again. If you don’t fight you can never lose. My foci include developing and building self-awareness and esteem, building capacity to communicate and intervene, developing resoluteness and making life changes. By applying mindfulness in my coaching a non judgmental observation is established. It is that ability of the mind to observe without criticism. You can do it, we can do it.

“The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.” Alvin Toffler

 Throughout the years I have developed Philosophical and Academic interest in Sri Ramana Maharshi, Jiddu Krishnamurt, Joseph Anton Schneiderfranken, Vernon Howard, Jean-Paul Sartre, Viktor E. Frankl and Gurdjieff.

I am an artist and interior designer. My oil paintings are mostly of people and reflect passion and difference. I have completed prestige rural and urban interior design projects (from concept to completion) in Europe, Brazil and the UAE. To complete these and other projects, I travel the world to source pieces and material (from countries such as the France, Italy, USA, Brazil, Thailand, South Africa, Cambodia, Myanmar, Lebanon, Syria, China, Mauritius and more).

As a young man, I completed all but the last month of a fine arts degree at the American InterContinental University in London. Following the death of my father, I departed before graduation and did not graduate. I studied interior design and art (and elective themes in psychology and religion). I had private tuition from Oliver Gosling (RCA), and Linda Bennion (RCA and French Art Institute). Additionally, I have attended courses at the London School of Photography and elsewhere (on sketching, oils, graphic design software, etc). I have also covered many syllabus at the Richmond University in London.
