Paula Afonso…

Paula started on the path of realisation of the Self at the age of 19 through her encounter with Yoga.  

This philosophy of life alongside the practice of Meditation and Ayurveda showed her other ways of living in a natural state in communion with her body, mind and soul, connecting with a higher purpose.

For years she dedicated herself to the Healing of her physical and emotional body, which led her to support others with what she learnt for her own expansion, through her Devotional path of mystical rituals, massage therapy, yoga and other shamanic practices, where her background of Service started in Portugal - her original place of birth.

In 2017 she left Portugal to embark on a solo journey through the world. After walking the Camino of Santiago in Europe, living in Ashrams in India and exploring different Communities in Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Nicaragua and Mexico, life guided her to Guatemala where she discovered the Path of Sound and Medicine with the support of the Forest Path Family where she has been guided by the immense teachings of Jayaji and Hayley Saraswati. 

Her passion of sharing her heart, voice and care in supporting others to feel safe, seen, heard, and loved in all dimensions of our Humanity, led her to dive deeper in her studies, being certified by Esalen teacher Dr. Albert Wong and Somatopia as a Coach in Relational Skills to deal with trauma, actively supporting the Preparation and Integration of Medicine work and sessions in Psychedelic Assisted Therapy.
