Hi, I am priscila, and i am happy to have you in my corner of the world.
I am here to help you to reconnect with your most authentic self so you can have clarity and confidence in who you want to become.
I was raised in a religious family, and my father was a pastor. From an early age, I felt there was extra pressure to be a perfect role model. I felt I lacked freedom. My dream was to explore nature, travel the world and be wild and free, but my family was the opposite of that.
Luckily, my family ended up supporting me to go after my dreams, so at the age of 16, I went to the UK for an exchange year, where I had the opportunity to learn many new activities like hiking, sailing, climbing, backpacking and traveling around Europe. It felt so genuine and true to me to be doing that by myself.
I later found my husband, who also shares the same love for traveling and being outdoors. Together, we moved from Brazil to the USA in 2016, when our kids were four years old and four months old. It was a big life change. I was certain I could do it by myself, but now I had a whole family to take care of. It was the first time I felt like I would not be able to manage things on my own.
I had a major breakdown and a panic attack crisis that had to be controlled with medication. Before I moved to the USA, I had only one daughter, I had a job, I had help at my house for cleaning and cooking, and I had family near me. Suddenly, I found myself in another country, without a job, with two children (one just a baby), having to cook and a whole house to clean. On top of all of that, I was thousands of miles away from my family and didn't know anybody near me. It felt overwhelming. I felt helpless and disconnected from who I wanted to be. I lost my self-confidence, because I had no idea how I could juggle all those roles, and my life did not feel like it was a happy adventure anymore. I also felt that those voices from my childhood were back, telling me I needed to sacrifice my sense of purpose and sense of self in order to be a good mom and good wife.
It was the worst time of my life, but it was also the period where I started to pay attention to myself and tried to understand what was going on inside me and what I could do to feel better while still being a positive influence for my family.
I found that I had a lot of work to get done. I needed to heal those parts of myself that were wounded, angry and needing love and attention. Slowly, my interest in self-development became an obsession, and soon I was digging through books, podcasts, seminars and live teachings to absorb all the knowledge I could get. I realized all the answers I was looking for were inside me, and I was the only person that could save me. I was so excited about all my findings and how much better and positive I was feeling that I wanted to share all my learnings with everyone around me. I wanted everybody to feel they could also break through and find the best version of themselves.
Today, I have better tools to help me to manage my life, juggling the important hats that I need to wear every day, like being a professional at my corporate job, being a mom that manages a house and a family, continuing to learn and study and keeping up with my hobbies like traveling, hiking and backpacking.
While practicing self-care is a continuous journey, I feel called and excited to help others by sharing my own journey with women who feel like I once felt—disconnected, helpless, overwhelmed and without confidence—and guiding them to replace those feelings with purpose, empowerment and confidence.
To help me with that, I trained in The Adult Chair® Coaching Certification, and now I have renowned coaching techniques to help you to get there too, while using the healing power of nature as a catalyst for that transformation. I can't wait to help you to feel empowered and self-confident again!
