About me:

Since I was a child, I loved to practice exercises in my living room as a form of personal growth and, perhaps, with the illusion of surprising my parents and schoolmates. Curiously, some of those movements looked a lot like Pilates exercises. Over time, I moved away from this self-taught practice and, throughout my life, I went through different stages of training in gyms and exploring various sports.

However, there was one sport that changed my life: surfing.
My ambition to master surfing led me to search for years for a training system that would improve my endurance, agility and fitness for those days when there were no waves. What's more, I needed something to help alleviate the neck pain I suffered after every surf session.

Then I discovered Pilates in 2008, and everything changed.
I rediscovered movements very similar to those I did as a child. The improvement in my physical condition was so remarkable that I fell in love with the method. So much so, that I decided to leave behind my career as an architect to dedicate myself fully to the Pilates Method.

In my quest to understand in depth all that I had learned and become a better practitioner, I began to study the method in more detail. In 2014, I discovered Classical Pilates: the technique closest to what Joseph Pilates originally developed. I understood the logic and purpose behind each exercise: nothing is random, everything is interconnected.

Even so, my ambition did not stop.
I wanted to continue to grow and get even closer to the source of the method. This led me to research until I found Jay Grimes, a direct student of Joe Pilates and custodian of the original method. With determination, I worked to be accepted into his school.

After several international trips, in 2018 I was admitted to their THE WORK program, a training that completely transformed my practice, my knowledge and my confidence as a professional.

Since then, I have not stopped learning, practicing and training with other great professionals in the world of Pilates and different movement methodologies, including Gymnastics, Calisthenics, Handstand, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Soft Acrobatics, Locomotion, Mobility, among others.
My goal has always been to understand more deeply the Pilates Method and the art of educating through movement.

Currently, I offer Pilates Certification Programs of Classical Pilates and Workshops in my studio and around the world, both for people who aspire to become Pilates Teachers, as well as for Pilates teachers who want to move to the next level as a professional (More information here link to the Training page).
My approach always seeks to remain as faithful as possible to the essence and origin of the method, thanks to the experience, studies and training that I have lived.

In addition, I also offer a personalized consulting service for those people who want to set up their own successful pilates studios, or for professionals who already have their own pilates center and want to boost their business, increasing their turnover and creating work systems that give more freedom and autonomy as a business owner.
