About
João explores a simple way of living in connection with Nature. Between shared experiences, silence, and contemplation, he likes to combine attention and curiosity about the cognitive and somatic components of the Human experience. – That is, tempering wisdom with the warmth of Love.
Eternal apprentice in modern and ancient healing arts and passionate about the process of seeking soul purpose in harmony with personal relationships and with full acceptance of what is present.
I have always been curious about the origin of different human behaviors and the functioning of the primary mechanisms of action and reaction. I listen with constant interest to this continuous process of transformation.
I focus on the relationship between Yoga, Ayurveda, Tantra, internal Permaculture, and Somatic Psychotherapy in the exploration of the mysteries of Life. This challenge made me travel to Asia, more frequently to India for several years trying to deepen and complement experiences in these areas in order to learn and let myself be absorbed by different traditions, teachers, and training.
Currently, as Somatic Therapist, I use the modalities of Somatic Experiencing and the Triple Vagal Method as powerful tools to build resources and integrate the various aspects of the human condition in order to understand better, embody and accept life itself.
I am fascinated by the power of breath as one of the best qualities to bring awareness to the present moment, leading to increased states of harmony between mind, body, heart, and soul.
