Cátia Fatana
Integrative Therapist, Personal and Parenting Coach, Mother Mentor and Doula, specializing in motherhood and Conscious Parenting.
I am a mother of two children who have opened a path to a more conscious life for me. I am passionate about ancestral wisdom and medicinal plants, neuroscience, and personal development. I love to travel, learn about other cultures, movement, dance, music, and people. I find in nature a constant source of presence, clarity, and regeneration.
My work integrates body and holistic therapies, emotional support, and goal-oriented coaching, focusing on sustainable change.
My approach is based on three pillars: movement and therapeutic touch on the body, mental neuroplasticity, and emotional regulation. It is this integration that restores clarity, inner stability, and consistency in your choices.
How do I keep up with you?
I combine self-knowledge with ancestral wisdom and body-based therapeutic approaches to support emotional self-regulation and real changes in daily life. I use tools such as Mindfulness, Innerdance Mettasomatic, Breathwork, Somatic Therapy Practices, and the intake of medicinal cacao, always complementing medical and psychological support when necessary. Currently, I am deepening my studies in myofascial therapy and somatic therapy, focusing on the relationship between the body, fascia, and nervous system.
This work is also organized using my own method, Cacaufulness. (see here).
My vision
My vision
I believe that human beings have a real capacity for change when they find security, presence, and the right tools.
And I believe that we are profoundly shaped by relationships and that, when we heal the way we relate to each other, our whole lives change.
Transformation happens when we stop living in survival mode and learn to return to our bodies, our hearts, and the truth of our relationships.
I create spaces where you can slow down, listen to yourself, and reorganize your life from within, with structure, presence, and the necessary depth so that the change is not just momentary. This work is for those who want to transform emotional and behavioral patterns and create a life with more presence, clarity, and coherence.
And this vision was born from my own journey of personal development and mental health.
My path to transformation was made in essential stages. First, I took care of my mental health, the foundation for everything else. Then I expanded the way I see life and deepened my inner dimension. Finally, I grounded my work in the body, in the regulation of the nervous system and in daily self-care—relational, emotional, and physical.
