Hello everyone. My name is Carla Conde. I am a Brazilian mother and wife living with my family in Montreal, Canada.
Having graduated in Law, I worked as a lawyer for one decade after earning my Master’s degree in International Law at the University of Montreal.
As unlikely as it may seem, dance and yoga have always been present in my life; they are two pillars that have guaranteed my emotional and mental well-being, as well as having provided nourishment for my constant spiritual quest.
With the birth of my daughter also came the urgency to follow my purpose in life: to help people in their holistic healing processes. That's when, after a period of transition and a big dose of courage, I abandoned my legal career and dove deeply into the world of holistic therapies, those that have always been by my side throughout my life.
Today, with great pride and joy, I am an Integrative Therapist, working with tools that promote the integral healing of the Being, while maintaining the supremacy of the connection between Body, Mind and Spirit.
I am a certified Yoga Teacher, Reiki Master, Floral Therapist (Bach Flowers), Shiatsu Massage Therapist and TRE® (Trauma, Tension Releasing Exercises) Provider.
I firmly believe in the power of the body as a tool for self-knowledge, healing, and evolution. I have always felt vibrant moving and understanding my body, in this relationship that has developed over the years. I started classical ballet at the age of 4 and continued dancing professionally until I was 22.
I transitioned into other dance disciplines such as Brazilian Samba, Tap, Jazz and Contemporary Dance. As I got older, and after a few injuries, I felt the need to establish a more intimate and healthy relationship with my body. That's when Yoga came into the picture! I finally learned to respect my body and understand it as a powerful tool for material and spiritual growth.
I don't practice ballet anymore, but I still dance and integrate movement into my daily life and professional work.
