Specialization in Sexual Dysfunctions — Centro Metamorfose (Brazil).
05.

06.
Training in Hatha Yoga – Sadhana Pada (Brazil).
It’s been more than a decade that I have been studying sexuality, pleasure, and relationships. My path into this work began in theatre, where I spent years exploring how the body communicates. That early fascination with embodiment eventually led me to a Master’s research project investigating the history of the body and eroticism. It became clear to me that sexuality is never just about sex — it is meaning, identity, power, vulnerability, culture, and connection.
This realisation drew me deeper into sexuality studies, where I immersed myself fully: from academic research to somatic training, from psychological frameworks to the time I spent living in a tantric centre — each perspective offering a new way of understanding. As my practice grew, I published my first book, founded Escola Lasciva, and taught more than 4,000 students across 27 countries.
