Let me share with you a little bit about my story...
A little more about me
Born into a matriarchy, I grew up in the beautiful village of Tras-os-Montes, Vimioso, Portugal. As a child, I enjoyed touching and massaging my mother and sisters by the fire. My exploration focused on the beauty of details and "perfect imperfections". The connection I experienced in touching and caring for others led me to understand a communication beyond the verbal, without sexual intentions.
Passionate about nature and science, I studied Marine Science and Biology at the University of Algarve, Portugal. However, one day I went back to those childhood memories and felt that my true passion was human contact together with the power of massage. So, I trained as a Massage Therapist, Thermal Therapist and Balneotherapy Therapist, I have a passion for Californian massage, lymphatic drainage and facial massage.
I worked in spas, geothermal centres and dermo-cosmetic clinics, but I felt that something was missing.
My perception of the human being expanded beyond the physical body, my connection to the other's energy and emotional openness through conscious contact led me to a new project. I joined the creation of a Experimental and Experiential Residence-Laboratory, dedicated to alternative education and interdisciplinary studies.
In 2012, I was personally invited by Petter Hegre, a Norwegian photographer, to work in his photography studio in Sitges, Barcelona, specialising in a new erotic perspective. For 4 years, I was Massage Therapist, Tantric Therapist and content creator, immersing myself in the Tantra discovery techniques, Sexual Tao and new forms of erotic expression.
After accompanying people from all over the world in their personal growth, I decided to embark on a new stage: motherhood. This journey led me on a continuous search for honesty, compassion, ecstasy and detachment, allowing me to know myself better and embrace my authenticity.
Six years of uninterrupted motherhood and breastfeeding brought out a strong and wise woman in me. My interest in non-toxic living led me to explore aromatherapy, connecting with the properties of medicinal plants and sharing this knowledge with other women and families.
My desire is to share tools that have helped me in my search for joy, magic and freedom. Complementing my experience, I obtained a Postgraduate in Sexology and Sexuality Education for Adolescents and the Disabled. I work to raise awareness among young people and children about sex education and advocate for the sexual rights of people with disabilities.
In the last 2 years, I trained in Integrative Sexuality, exploring various disciplines such as BDSM, Shibari, Psychodance, Art Therapy, Theatrical Drama, Clinical Sexology and Sexual and Gender Diversity.
I invite you to discover Kin-Qi, a project born out of my struggle for a more conscious and respectful world. I accompany human beings to unfold the joy and magic of their authenticity, to participate in the blossoming and awakening of their potential.
Explore the different experiences I offer and listen within yourself to what works for you now.
Pampered embrace,
