Hi, I’m Paula.

I am a herbalist, naturopath, and massage therapist committed to supporting health and wellbeing through natural, holistic practices.

I am originally from Brazil, grew up in Portugal, and London has been my home for nine years. I found natural healing on my own path of finding wholeness.

As a practitioner, my approach is rooted in Traditional Western Herbal Medicine, enriched by principles from Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and modern insights. Herbal medicine can be a powerful ally at every stage of life, addressing concerns such as hormonal health, stress management, sleep, immunity, digestion, skin health, and more.

My practice is guided by mindfulness and compassion. I aim to find the root causes of imbalance, to empower clients to take control of their health with confidence, in ways that feel achievable and sustainable.

In addition to my work as a herbalist and naturopath, I am a qualified massage therapist specialising in holistic massage, deep tissue therapy, trigger point therapy, and pregnancy massage. My treatments are designed to relieve both localised and systemic neuromuscular tension, often incorporating techniques such as guided breathwork, trigger pointing, and gentle passive stretches to encourage deep relaxation.

I have experience supporting clients facing a variety of health challenges, and in different life stages, including but not limited to:

  • Anxiety, stress, and mental health

  • Autoimmune conditions (chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, psoriasis, and rheumatoid arthritis)

  • Common childhood diseases (colic, digestive issues, sleep problems, skin rashes, infections)

  • Digestive issues (constipation, diarrhoea)

  • Eczema

  • Fertility issues and trying to conceive

  • Hay fever and allergies

  • High or low blood pressure
