About
After more than ten years treading a solid academic trajectory in the interface between psychology, neuroscience and psychiatry, I started developing initiatives to provide new psychiatric treatments. During my undergrad, Masters and PhD studies and post-doctoral research, I specialized in psychoactive substances, studying their most varied effects - harmful as well as therapeutic - focusing on psychedelics (ayahuasca, LSD, ibogaine, MDMA and psilocybin, among others). I led and participated in groundbreaking research revealing the neural basis of psychedelic's effects in the human brain, helping to elucidate their effects in consciousness and also their promising therapeutic potentials. I have professional experiences with the first, second and third sectors (government, business and non-profits). Creative and determined, I work to bring radical and disruptive innovations in psychiatry, developing safer and better treatments than currently available, focusing on severe cases of drug addiction, depression and trauma, among others.

Holotropic Breathwork™
The most powerful therapeutic technique in Transpersonal Psychology.

Developed by the Czech psychiatrist Stanislav Grof, author of hundreds of articles and more than a dozen books, is practiced in more than a dozen countries.
Practiced in small groups using mattresses, deep and fast breathing and instrumental songs evocative of various emotional processes, it is a valuable tool of self-exploration through extra-ordinary states of consciousness.
