Personal Statement:
Regarding her personal life, she greatly enjoys quiet activities in nature, especially hiking in hills or mountains. She can dedicate a lot of time to contemplating horizons. She seeks to reflect on and address issues that could bring a better quality of life to the general population. She greatly enjoys poetry, especially the work of Cecília Meireles.
In 2008, she founded the Rede de Atendimento Psicológicos Sociais (www.raps.social). This network aims to offer psychological and psychiatric care to people who lack financial resources, having served more than 10,000 cases to date.
In 2014, she founded the Sapientia Cordis Institute in Belo Horizonte, with the purpose of offering training in Focusing. This institute has been dedicated to disseminating psychological practices based on Phenomenology, Humanistic Psychology, or Existentialism. In 2019, she created a branch of this Institute dedicated exclusively to the dissemination of Focusing in Brazil, called Focusing Brazil. In addition to trying to disseminate this knowledge, the Institute aims to offer access to knowledge for people with economic difficulties by offering scholarships, thus addressing inequality in an unequal way.
