A few years ago, I found myself at a crossroads. After my IVF treatments hadn’t succeeded, I was left feeling glum about the next 20 years of my life. I was the solo mum of one and had always dreamed of having two kids.
At the same time, I was feeling burned out from my work as a therapist and struggling to imagine a future that felt fulfilling and joyful.
It was during this period of uncertainty that I decided to revisit acting. I enrolled in an acting class, unsure of what I was looking for but hoping to reignite a spark of joy.
What I found was transformative. Acting reminded me of the aliveness I had been missing—the joy of play, the flow of creativity, and the power of being fully present in the moment.
This experience not only reignited my passion but also connected me to something deeper: the ways in which therapy and acting intersect.
Both require courage, emotional connection, and an ability to stay grounded in the present.
As a Gestalt therapist, I had spent years helping others navigate their emotions and connect with themselves.
I realized I could bring this same perspective to acting, creating a space where actors could explore, grow, and unlock their fullest potential.
Soon after, I took the most daring step of my life. At 51, as a solo mother of a 5-year-old and a newborn, I left behind the familiar to start a new life in Lisbon and pursue my dream of becoming an acting coach.
It wasn’t just about finding a new home—it was about answering a deep calling to live more authentically and embrace my creativity and following my soul's calling.
This leap of faith taught me resilience, courage, and trust in my inner voice—qualities I now bring to my coaching.
I know what it feels like to doubt yourself, to search for meaning, and to long for a sense of flow and fulfillment.
Acting can provide all of that and more, and I’m passionate about helping others discover it for themselves.
