About Me
I am a Health & Medical Coach, TEDx speaker, and author specializing in integrative health, behavioral neuroscience, and lifestyle medicine.
Having experienced breast cancer in 2013, I bring both professional expertise and lived insight into my work. I support women navigating complex health journeys — including cancer recovery, burnout, and emotional crises — to move beyond survival mode and rebuild a life with clarity, resilience, and meaning.
My work focuses on the connection between emotions, behavior, and physical health, integrating evidence-based approaches from neuroscience, psychology, and lifestyle medicine. I help my clients understand the underlying drivers of their patterns, regulate their internal states, and create sustainable change aligned with who they truly are.
I am also an ICF-certified coach and the author of three books published in Portugal and Brazil, on health, burnout, and the connection between emotions and physical illness, including my most recent work published by Penguin Random House, Emoções que Inflamam, Hábitos que Curam (2025 Portugal and 2027 Brazil).
Vânia is Portuguese, lives in Brazil and Coach clients in Portuguese from Portugal and in Brazilian Portuguese.
