About Me

Hi, I am Amélia

I am passionate about guiding others to cultivate self-awareness, self-love, resilience, and self-esteem based on a solid foundation of self-knowledge and self-worth. And supporting them to overcome their emotional wounds. To become a conscious whole, a healthy human being and live authentically.

I was born in Portugal but I currently live in the Netherlands, after several years living and working in the capital of Angola, Luanda, in Africa. I love cultural diversity and I believe it enriches us in profound and powerful ways.

Working and living abroad especially in a multicultural and infrastructure challenging country like Angola was an incredible experience, since it took me out of my comfort zone. It forced me to adapt to things that were unfamiliar and unusual to me. It expanded my views, knowledge and made me a better leader.

I experienced a new culture, a new way of life and I built a life for myself.

I also love human development, spirituality, philosophy, holistic health, traditional ancient and functional medicine, nutritional therapy, art and others. I love to travel around the world and I can speak English, Portuguese, Spanish and I’m learning Dutch.

I have practiced meditation for 19 years and energy healing (chakra healing and Reiki) for 18 years.

I have over 10 years of experience as a business manager, organizational & performance consultant, mentor, thought leader and I hold a Master degree in Management. For the last years I had also successfully run a facility management business along with another business associate.

But for as long as I’ve been doing that, my passion has always been to help others improve and reach their full potential.

In the past years my professional life was not fulfilling me anymore so I decided to leave the corporate world behind and start a new journey. I was seeking fulfillment in a career that had a deeper meaning and significance. And which was also more aligned with my core values.

I could not continue in the corporate world where awareness, compassion, caring, fairness and integrity were absent and where the focus was totally on profits.

I am a living example that life doesn’t have to be linear. It can go in all directions, change often and nevertheless you can be happy and succeed. I can therefore support people facing changes in their life and help them transform it for the better, through a gentle process.

Throughout my new journey I have studied and attended several mini courses and masterclasses in functional medicine and nutrition. Currently, I am studying nutritional therapy. I also have a holistic health & functional nutrition training, as well as training in human behavior and trauma.

Today, I gathered all my life experiences, competencies, knowledge, educational background, professional experience and passions to create ‘About Integral Life’. This project was born from my heart, from the way I see myself and the world in an integral way.

The creation of ‘About Integral Life’ is designed to inspire and guide you on the path of awakening to a more conscious, balanced and healthy life.

My intent is to raise self-awareness and expand consciousness, change mindsets and foster sustainable behavioral shifts.

I am committed to bring awakening of consciousness, essence and a new path to holistic well-being, personal growth and a meaningful life.

I work closely with my clients as a guide and consistently in co-creative support. I deeply listen, mirror and reflect, supporting clients to see their unique gifts and shadows. Based on my unique assessment with each individual, and the process of listening, I begin to organically introduce concepts and directions for doing work on oneself, practices for reflection and self-investigation, which can form a foundation for the work of empowerment and genuine lasting transformation.

I work helping clients understand and break through their habits, beliefs and behaviors that no longer serve, to create new patterns and thrive in new ways. I help them to connect to their inner wisdom, align with their deepest values and achieve greater fulfillment, balance and a happiness that comes from deep within.

Clients develop stronger awareness, self-worth, confidence, resilience, and authenticity. They become more effective as they align with their inner true self and inner power. They become better leaders of themselves and others.

Testimonials

I’ve had the opportunity to work with Amelia, and our sessions have helped me to grow both personally and professionally. Amelia can “read” situations super-fast which makes it so much easier to explain things, because she always understands the issues immediately. In her consultations she would take me out of my hectic day to day mindset and would give me the tools to have moments for reflection. After each session she challenges me to change my perspective to get a clearer vision, which allows me to approach challenges in a different way. Most important thing is, to have a focus which is based on opportunities rather than difficulties. And Amelia has helped me to change that mindset.

I am having the most amazing experience with the holistic method with Amelia. I have had a lot of therapy over the years, but I have to say that this process helps me to access clarity and profound insight faster than I have ever experienced. This approach is helping me to connect with my own answers, which it feels so empowering. It is also making me realize how dependent I have been on finding answers outside of myself, when I really needed to focus on what needed to happen from within. I am going through a particularly difficult time in my life, involving a very challenging relationship. And this method is helping me to recognize with clarity what has been happening in the relationship and what I need to do in order to move forward. I am really loving the approach Amelia takes. She is extremely balanced and has a kind and calm way about her that is contagious.

Amelia is amazing. She has helped me with a particularly difficult period of my life, my divorce. I was feeling really broken and lost and I decided to get some guidance to help me get my life on track. Amelia has helped me find my way back. She is very intuitive and seems to know what I need to process in each consultation, which really helps me to progress. With her help, I have realized how much limiting beliefs I was holding on to and how much I was limiting myself. Amelia is helping me to see what is possible for me. At the end of our sessions, I am more aware of myself. I feel the most empowered that I have ever felt in a very long time.

I was recommended to Amelia by a friend. It’s now been 3 months. The biggest changes I have noticed since I started with the consultations have been my mindset, attitude, diet and exercise. She has helped me to see how my lifestyle was harming my mental, physical and overall health and well-being. Amelia believes in healing the whole self, not just the physical body. She guided me through the diet, adopting healthier eating habits, spending more time in nature, improving my sleep, meditating and so on. And she helped me go through some challenges and major changes I have been facing in my life, lately. Amelia is a wonderful and kind person. She’s been an amazing support system!

Amelia has the special ability to listen. I always feel comfortable talking to her, especially when we are discussing my personal challenges. She does not judge, but encourages you to think about your options. A key moment for me was when I heard her say for the first time, "There is always a solution". It sounds so simple, but that's when I realized what that really means and how indescribably this thought can change your view and how much it reduces personal stress. Amelia has taught me how to manage my emotions better through meditation, relaxation exercises to help get to the root of my issues and feelings. I am very grateful to Amelia, she is such a kind and caring person. I'm so thankful for finding her. I'm super happy with her services!
