Can you tell us a bit about your background?
Hi, I’m Paula. I am a herbalist, naturopath, and massage therapist passionate about supporting health and wellbeing through natural, holistic practices. My work is grounded in Traditional Western Herbal Medicine, complemented by principles from Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and modern health insights.
In addition to herbal medicine and naturopathy, I specialise in massage therapies, including holistic massage, deep tissue therapy, trigger point therapy, and pregnancy massage. My goal is to create personalised treatments that promote relaxation, healing, and balance.
What would it be like to meet you?
I’m originally from Brazil and grew up in Portugal, experiences that shaped my appreciation for nature and natural healing. My path to becoming a holistic practitioner started with a personal journey — I was seeking to improve my own health and wellbeing. In my mid-20s, I experienced burnout and health challenges, which inspired a career change. Discovering the benefits of herbal medicine and bodywork had a transformative impact on my life, and I wanted to share that healing potential with others.
As a practitioner, I bring mindfulness and compassion to every treatment. I focus on addressing root causes and empowering clients with practical tools and knowledge to take control of their health. My aim is to guide clients toward sustainable, achievable changes that integrate naturally into their daily lives.
Outside of my practice, I stay grounded through yoga, meditation, nature walks, eating good food and spending quality time with loved ones.
What therapies do you use and what kind of difficulties do you help people with?
Naturopathy is a holistic philosophy that supports health and wellbeing through lifestyle, diet, and natural therapies. Herbal medicine complements this by using plant-based remedies alongside diet and lifestyle adjustments to address each person’s unique needs.
In massage and bodywork, I tailor every treatment to the individual, focusing on relaxation, muscular release, nervous system regulation, and overall wellbeing. My techniques often include guided breathwork, trigger pointing, and passive stretching for deeper relief.
As a naturopathic herbalist, I’ve supported clients with hormonal health, stress, sleep, digestion, and more, witnessing the transformative effects of natural healing. As a massage therapist, I help clients relieve neuromuscular tension and provide specialised care during pregnancy and postnatal stages, creating a safe and nurturing environment for their journey.
