I have worked with artists at international festivals and events such as Mose, Chantress Seba, Gustavito, Sam Garret, Carol Teixeira, Soul Revolution, Colibri, Icaros, Agape Zoe, Sacred Soul Fest, and Soul Community.
With a degree in Dentistry, I began studying homeopathic medicine and took several courses in holistic therapies: hypnosis, ThetaHealing, Reiki, Tantra Yoga, and sound healing.
