About Paula

Paula came to the Feldenkrais Method® after a long journey looking for solutions for her own struggles with tendinitis, TMJ disorder, and fibromyalgia.

Before taking the 4-year training to become a Feldenkrais Practitioner, she was a Certified RolferTM and Rolf Movement PractitionerTM, a stay-at-home mom to her two children, a middle school teacher in her native Brazil, and a sociologist.

​In all those different roles, Paula has been known for her caring personality, her desire to help others, and her continuous commitment to learning and going deep in the understanding of her work.
