I have been doing sports since I can remember, probably even inside my mom, I was already training my muscles...

I started and fell in love with dancing when I was around 6 years old. Along with that I did gymnastics and ballet. I loved how it allowed me to express myself, let go of negative feelings etc. Naturally i find it difficult to express or say how I feel, so it was the perfect way for me to express.

In 2014 i got badly injured on my left knee, the paella twisted and i was tied to my bed and sofa for 3 months. Any athlete knows what is the suffering of not being able to workout for one week, imagine for 3 months. After coming back, my happiness didn't last long because my right knee now, got injured too. The result? I basically stayed home for one year, visiting my doctor and physiotherapist every week and being almost depressed.

In 2015 i discovered gym. I was looking for something I could do to recover my knees to the max possible and be able to keep working out. So slowly, i started to first workout gently just to gain some muscle and get used to the new sport. In that time also, i got very interested in pole dancing, it seemed perfect for me - a combination of gymnastics, dance and femininity. Long story short, after 5 years of pole dancing i was injured again, on my back this time and like this I started bodybuilding.

But behind the story there's more. Signing a contract with modelling agency in 2017, I became obsessed with food, obsessed with my weight to the point I was checking the numbers on the scale 3 times a day. I got to the scary number of 46, at this time being proud of myself....

And at some point i realised i am destroying myself inside and outside and i needed to do something about this as soon as possible. I knew sports were the key, because they allow me to disconnect from the outside world. I asked Simão for help because I couldn't trust myself about this. Our first goal was to gain 10kg, it was a huge step for me but I did it, and i am proud.

Today i am free of thinking how much am I eating, how much i weight and the number on the scale is not interesting to me at all. I have a goal set but most importantly I am healthy.

I wish you all to take care of yourself, mentally and physically
