The story

I didn't find a new path.
I remembered the one I was born on.

I spent sixteen years defending rivers, forests, and Indigenous peoples. I worked in international human rights and environmental law — contributing to the Belo Monte case before the Inter-American Commission of Human Rights, standing alongside the Munduruku people in their resistance against the São Luiz do Tapajós dam, and earning a PhD from the University of Florida studying Indigenous resistance.

I believed transformation came through law, policy, and institutions. Then the forest showed me something deeper.

I was initiated into spiritual practice at the age of seven. For thirty-six years I devoted myself to the tradition that raised me. But the closer I came to Indigenous peoples and their ways of relating to life, the more I began to remember something that had always been there — beneath every teaching, every title, every role.

I didn't find a new path. I remembered the one I was born on.

Today I am a mother of two, a guide, and a bridge between worlds. I bring together the wisdom of the Amazon, Indigenous traditions, human rights, ancestral healing, and deep personal transformation.

I work with women who feel the call but have forgotten the language. Women who have tried therapy, retreats, certifications — and still feel something essential is missing. Women who are ready to stop performing their healing and start living it.

The work I do is not about teaching you what to believe. It is about helping you remember what you already know.

Voices from the work

What they remembered.

This experience has brought me face to face with myself, given me permission to seek forgiveness for events in my life that I had become unable to bear, and a chance to reconnect with joy. You are truly a powerful and kind guide.
Gerard BacenArara Encantada Immersion
You are not only a gifted woman of power, you are a facilitator of the light. A journey of remembrance, of reclamation of my spirit, my purpose, my soul. You have truly found your calling in life.
Audrey MamotAmazon Immersion — Two Journeys
Maíra was a true lifeline for me during the most difficult chapter of my life. She didn't just show up for our scheduled calls — she guided my progress throughout the week, providing thoughtful questions and curated materials that helped me identify my needs before we even spoke.
