Azores - Portugal
Misty Islands was born out of a genuine desire to be back in touch with nature.
More specifically with my own nature. The nostalgic haze of the islands has always fascinated me and returning to the islands brought an inexplicable desire to reconnect with this island way of being and feeling.
Living life on autopilot and always in a rush ends up leading us to a rhythm that disconnects us from our own essence, from who we really are and what excites us in life. The 2020 pandemic only intensified and brought to light a need that was latent and only became evident when we were all forced to stop.
On the other hand, the reunion with the nature of the Islands, and the surprising new perspective that I came across when exploring the countless trails and all their beautiful and energizing forestry aspects were the triggerso that the desire to develop new projects associated with events in Nature was born.
The SUPER POWERS of Nature in the Azores helped me find my physical, mental and spiritual balance.
I propose to share my learnings with all those who are looking for a way to slow down and find a new rhythm in their lives., enjoying an experience of pure reconnection through connection with the nature of the Azores and direct contact with its benefits.

I am a dedicated practitioner of silence, finding my balance through yoga, outdoor running, traveling the world and the challenge of climbing mountains. These personal experiences fuel my passion for nature and well-being, profoundly shaping my path.
Over the years, I have followed a path that reflects the search for a more connected and conscious life. In 2023, I became a Forest Bathing Guide through the Forest Therapy Hub, a practice that helps me enhance the restorative power of nature on my physical and mental health.
My coaching training has given me the tools I need to facilitate personal and professional transformation processes, helping others find their own balance.
After several years as a manager in high-pressure environments, I realized the negative impact that stress and fast-paced living have on our health, which led me to seek a more sustainable and balanced way of life. The creation of the Misty Islands project is the realization of this vision.
I deeply believe that my work can raise awareness and inspire greater awareness of the importance of protecting our health and that of the planet.
This holistic approach, which combines well-being, sustainability and respect for nature, is at the heart of my mission.
