about

My name is Dora, I am the practitioner and owner of Conscious Rebalance.

I was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil but since 1989 I have been living in the Netherlands. At that time I was attending dance training and researching about the integration of movement education and wellness techniques in the United States and Europe.

After my first training and graduation as physical movement practitioner and massage therapist, I continued my professional development in multiple forms of bodywork therapy. The mobile practice Conscious Rebalance was created and inspired by many years of my experience working with people of different ages, cultures, personality types and body posture issues.
