Intensive and tailored one on one or couples stays to disconnect from modern distractions and reconnect to our own powerful inner satellite navigation system.
We can be under the control of our own psychological patterns affecting our lives and those around us.
We can reach states of bliss and emptiness for short periods of time or even get stuck or addicted to those altered states believing they are the ultimate goal but somehow part of us knows that not to be the case.
We find it difficult to live the gift of feeling what others feel.
These intensive short stays or longer if required, are to address these obstacles and take real steps towards a greater understanding of ourselves.
“ Simple solutions are often overlooked in life but Paola will help you to remember. There is no magic wand or happy pill but through her life experience she’s able to guide you back to your own heart. She’s very practical, focused and has some real valuable insights - besides Paola had great teachers and continues their work not by acting as a guru but like an elder sister who knows just a little more. All you have to do is listen to her. I would wholeheartedly recommend Paola”

"I remember meeting Paola at a parent and kids event and immediately sensing something different/unusual. Our kids never really connected but I tried to keep in touch online, I attended her excellent yoga classes from time to time and then Paola said she was planning to offer reiki. I found myself seeking this reiki and emotional support whenever I was struggling and had some very powerful sessions with her. I had always found it difficult to meditate alone, and when Paola set up a meditation group it was such a great thing for me. She holds space so well, and always has interesting and challenging people around her. I am someone who has often found myself taking the lead in groups, not really willingly, but I never really experienced this with Paola, somehow I always felt safe enough. When the meditation group was forced online during the pandemic, I was astonished to find that it still had the same profound connecting effect on me. After all this supported practice, with someone who models genuine acceptance of what is, I can now connect with my meditative state very easily. Paola and I have enjoyed many a dream chat, and she always has deep felt intuition to offer. She takes things seriously but not in a very earnest way. She is is a real person and sits with that real-ness."
I’m Paola. I’m a mum. I moved to Portugal a year ago and decided it’s time, after 17 years of knowing I had been gifted with experiences I ultimately must share, to begin that process. I have been fortunate enough to have been guided under the protection of a Sufi and a Yogi Master – belonging to the Naqshbandis and Saraswati lineages respectively.
As a guide one can only transmute that which has been given. Often we go to teachers that are unsuitable for our next evolutionary step. I cannot and do not profess to have an answer for every seeker, but I do know that I can support a small percentage of those looking for real and permanent breakthroughs.
“ Paola hit me like a storm! When Paola entered our lives I had no idea how stuck I was and she made me see and become aware of what needed to be refined in myself to be able to access more of myself. I needed to release, let go and transform certain trauma responses and patterns of behaviour to be able to live in a more harmonious way with my husband and family. She brings a different kind of awareness which I had not found in anyone else before. She knew a lot about the emotional body, about dream interpretation which helped me understand myself and my surroundings in a more conscious way. Many times things just happened to me and I couldn’t understand what I was doing wrong or what I needed to correct or maybe just an understanding. She taught me how to interpret my dreams and finally I found a key to unlock both worlds. Whilst I still have a lot to learn I’m very glad to say that I have more of an awareness and understanding of myself which makes me have much more compassion and patience for others. Paola became my greatest friend and teacher.”
