About me
Hi, I am Linda
I was born on Lusitanian land. Most of my early years unfolded on urban concrete yet a quiet thread was always weaving through me — a longing for deeper contact with the natural world. Perhaps it was the silent call of a mother I never truly had. A call to come back home.
At just two years old, I was taken from my mother and placed in an orphanage due to severe neglect. The impact of that rupture lived in me long after. For years, it ran the show beneath the surface — shaping how I loved, how I feared, how I moved through life.
Driven by an urgent thirst for another way of living, I spent years traveling, searching, asking: Who am I? What does it mean to be human? Who is this Earth we live with — and what is our place in it?
Eventually, the call to root came. I returned to Portugal, seeking ground. Seeking to let this motherland hold me while I built something I had never truly known: an inner foundation of safety.
Little I knew of what was to come.
In the years that followed, I lost everything I owned — twice — in two separate wildfires.
I endured heartbreaks that split me wide open and faced the same painful patterns again and again.
On the surface, it looked like a collapse. But underneath, something else was emerging: a deep, quiet longing to stop living as if life was happening to me, and begin living as if life could move through me.
At that time, I was disconnected — from my body, my truth, my boundaries. I feared conflict, and I sacrificed myself for the illusion of connection. What I truly longed for was belonging. Not just in relationships, but in my own skin.
That same inner thread — the one that had been with me all along — pulled me once more. This time, inward. A return to Mother, not just as Earth, but as the source within.
It hasn’t been easy. It still isn’t. But it’s changing me. And it’s changing how I relate — to myself, to others, to life.
Today, I’m devoted to researching and practicing a new way of relating.
One where we return — to feeling, to listening, to remembering.
A way of healing that doesn’t mean becoming someone else, but reclaiming the parts of ourselves we were taught to hide. It’s about practicing love where we were told to abandon ourselves.
This is what I bring to my work.
Not as a method, but as a lived experience. I meet people where they are, and together, we explore a new way of being in connection — to self, to other, to life.
So if you’ve tried everything and still feel stuck…
