Hi, I am Amélia

I am passionate about guiding others to cultivate self-awareness, self-love, resilience, and self-esteem — rooted in deep self-knowledge and a strong sense of self-worth. And supporting them in healing their emotional wounds, so they can become conscious, whole, healthy human beings and live authentically.

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

Living and working abroad, especially in a multicultural, infrastructure-challenged country like Angola was a transformative experience. it pushed me far beyond my comfort zone, requiring me to adapt to what was unfamiliar and unexpected. It broadened my perspective, deepened my knowledge, and shaped me into a stronger, more conscious leader.

I experienced a different culture, embraced a new way of life and built something meaningful for myself.

I also love spirituality, philosophy, human psychology, Jungian analysis, traditional, ancient and functional medicine, nutritional therapy, art and all that encompasses Holistic Health — they are living practices that deeply inform my way of being and the work I do.

I love traveling the world and connecting with different cultures. I speak English, Portuguese, and Spanish and I’m currently learning Dutch. For the past 20 years, I’ve practiced meditation and for 19 years, I’ve been devoted to energy healing, including chakra work and Reiki. These practices keep me grounded, connected, and aligned with my essence.

I bring over 10 years of experience as a business manager, organizational and performance consultant, mentor and thought leader. I also hold a Master’s degree in Management. In recent years, I successfully co-lead a facility management business alongside a business associate.

But beneath all of this, there has always been a deeper purpose guiding me. While I was immersed in the world of business and leadership, my true passion has always been helping others grow, evolve, and reach their full potential — not just in their careers, but in their lives as whole, conscious human beings.

In recent years, I realized that my professional life was no longer fulfilling me. I felt the call to leave the corporate world behind and embark on a new journey— one rooted in deeper meaning, purpose and aligned with my core values.    

I could no longer continue in the corporate world that prioritized profits over people, and where awareness, compassion, caring, fairness and integrity were absent.

I am a living example that life doesn’t have to be linear. It can take unexpected turns, shift direction many times and still, you can thrive. This experience allows me to support others navigating transitions in their own lives and help them transform gently and intentionally.

Throughout my journey, I’ve immersed myself in the study of what truly heals and nourishes us. I have studied systems-based approaches through functional medicine, ancient and traditional healing, and functional nutrition. I’m currently studying nutritional therapy.

My path through holistic health has been both personal and professional — I have walked it deeply. I’ve studied trauma and human behavior to understand the mind and emotions, while also doing profound inner work. And spirituality has been part of my life for more than 20 years.

Therefore, these aren’t just areas of study — they are living practices I’ve embodied on my own healing journey.

Today, I bring together my life experiences, inner work, educational background, professional expertise, and passions to create About Integral Life — a project born from my heart, and from a deep, integral way of seeing myself and the world.

About Integral Life is here to inspire and guide you on the path of awakening — toward a more conscious, balanced, and healthy life. My mission is to raise self-awareness, expand consciousness, shift mindsets, and support sustainable, embodied change.

I am committed to bringing awakening of consciousness, essence, and a new path to holistic well-being, personal growth and a meaningful life into people’s lives.

I work closely with my clients as a guide and companion — listening deeply, reflecting with care, and helping them recognize both their unique gifts and their inner barriers. Each process is unique. Based on our conversations and my assessments, I gently introduce practices, questions, and directions that support self-inquiry, healing, and empowerment. This lays a foundation for genuine and lasting transformation.

I help clients understand and break free from the limiting beliefs, patterns, and behaviors that keep them stuck and no longer serve them — guiding them back to their inner wisdom, core values, and a life of authenticity, true inner liberation, balance and fulfillment.

Through this work, clients grow in awareness, confidence, resilience, and self-worth. As they reconnect with themselves, clients begin to cultivate self-trust, clarity, and the courage to live in alignment with who they truly are. They become leaders of themselves and often, of others. In this process, they discover a more grounded happiness that arises not from external success, but from within.
