Léia Toledo, M.A.
Founder & Hypnosis Facilitator
As a journalist, I always believed in the power of words to transform reality. After experiencing burnout in 2016, I found answers to my emotional, physical and spiritual challenges studying and practicing yoga, reiki and, finally, clinical hypnosis. I bring this experience and expertise to the service of my clients.

Nadia Prando, M.A.
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
I have always been a sensitive person, curious about deeply understanding people, which led me into completing a Bachelor and a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology. I have 15 years of experience treating families adults and children, always focusing on prevention so that the future generation grows healthy. Through my experience, I realized that verbal therapy is not enough to heal multidimensional beings like us. From that moment, I started studying energy and spiritual techniques that have been allowing me to offer a more holistic treatment resulting in better and faster results.
