Guided Meditation, Grounding & Inner Reconnection | English / Portuguese

From 46.22 £ /h

These one-to-one sessions are for anyone who feels the need to slow down, breathe, reconnect with the body, and create more inner clarity.

Through guided meditation, grounding practices, breath awareness, journaling prompts, and gentle reflection, I support you in creating a calm and safe inner space where you can listen to yourself more clearly.

Each session is adapted to your needs and experience level. You do not need to have any previous meditation practice.

We may work with themes such as:
stress and emotional overwhelm, mental noise, grounding, body awareness, self-care, inner clarity, intuition, life transitions, boundaries, and reconnecting with your natural rhythm.

My approach combines mindfulness, intuitive listening, nature-based practices, and creative reflection. The intention is not to force change, but to help you return to presence — and from there, make choices with more clarity and alignment.

Sessions are available in English or Portuguese, online or in person depending on location and availability.

[PT] Meditação Guiada, Enraizamento e Reconexão Interior

Estas sessões individuais são para quem sente necessidade de abrandar, respirar, voltar ao corpo e criar mais clareza interior.

Através de meditação guiada, práticas de enraizamento, respiração consciente, escrita intuitiva e momentos de reflexão, ajudo-te a criar um espaço interno mais calmo e seguro, onde possas escutar-te com mais presença.

Cada sessão é adaptada ao teu momento e ao teu nível de experiência. Não precisas de ter prática anterior de meditação.

Podemos trabalhar temas como:
stress e sobrecarga emocional, excesso de pensamentos, enraizamento, consciência corporal, autocuidado, clareza interior, intuição, fases de transição, limites saudáveis e reconexão com o teu ritmo natural.

A minha abordagem combina mindfulness, escuta intuitiva, ligação à natureza e reflexão criativa. A intenção não é forçar mudança, mas ajudar-te a regressar à presença — e, a partir daí, fazer escolhas com mais clareza e alinhamento.

Sessões disponíveis em português ou inglês, online ou presencialmente, dependendo da localização e disponibilidade.

About Me

About Me – Creative Learning, Mindful Guidance & Inner Reconnection

Hi, I’m Alexandra. I’m an experienced educator and meditation guide, based in Magoito, near Sintra, Portugal.

For over 20 years, I have worked in education, supporting children and young learners through creative, individualized learning. I have taught in international schools and educational settings in Portugal, Brazil, and beyond, with a strong focus on helping each student understand, engage, and grow in a way that respects their rhythm.

My work now has two main areas:

1) Tutoring & Creative Learning
I offer individualized tutoring for primary school students, especially from 1st to 6th grade. My approach combines academic reinforcement with storytelling, visual tools, hands-on activities, and creative strategies inspired by Education through the Arts.

I support children in building confidence, overcoming learning difficulties, and developing skills that go beyond the classroom.

Teaching areas:

- 1st to 6th grade: Math, Science, Languages, History, Arts, and general academic support
- 7th grade and above: Math, Science, and History on a case-by-case basis

2) Guided Meditation & Inner Reconnection
I also offer one-to-one guided meditation sessions for adults who feel the need to slow down, reconnect with the body, and create more inner clarity.

These sessions may include guided meditation, grounding practices, breath awareness, journaling prompts, and gentle reflection. They are adapted to your needs and experience level, so you do not need any previous meditation practice.

We may work with themes such as stress, emotional overwhelm, mental noise, grounding, body awareness, self-care, boundaries, intuition, life transitions, and reconnecting with your natural rhythm.

My approach is gentle, intuitive, creative, and practical. Whether I am supporting a child with learning or guiding an adult through meditation, my work is rooted in presence, curiosity, and respect for each person’s unique path.

Where I Teach:

In person at my tutoring and session space in Magoito
At-home tutoring in Sintra and surrounding areas
Online sessions with interactive tools

Known as the ancient Indian practice of yogic sleep, a complete relaxation of body and mind, allowing only an inner awareness of the spirit to be discovered and given attention. To serve you. It’s a way to totally relax as you’re guided into meditation to explore the qualities of self-care and self-nourishment.

We often lead busy schedules at work and home, with long to-do lists and responsibilities in all areas of life. Sometimes we crash and need a reset. Yoga Nidra is where it all comes to a standstill, giving yourself the opportunity to recuperate. To integrate a sense of belonging. To feel at home within ourselves by honouring the subtle voice within and creating a loving, cozy feeling of wholeness. Suitable for practitioners of all levels and abilities. Especially suitable for those who enjoy (the idea of) naps!

My classes are slow, embodied and deeply grounding. I focus on simple, accessible movements and asanas that soften the neck, open the chest, release the diaphragm and create more space for your breath.

This class is ideal for:
• beginners who want a gentle introduction to yoga;
• people who feel stressed, tense or disconnected from the body;
• singers, speakers or creators who want better breath and posture;
• anyone seeking more calm, clarity and body-awareness;

What we’ll work on:
• mindful breathwork
• grounding the legs & spine
• soft joint mobility
• postures that reset the nervous system
• gentle strengthening
• relaxation at the end (with beautiful sound bath if we meet offline)

• Duration: 1 hour
• In-person in Ericeira or online
• Languages: English / Ukrainian
• All levels welcome

Learn the fundamentals of the Yoga tradition and deepen your practice! Find balance, well-being and peace within yourself.
Increase your knowledge and skills in:
- Asana (physical postures), for better strength, flexibility and mobility
- Pranayama (or breathwork), to cultivate a more calm nervous system
- Meditation, for a deeper sense of connection with yourself
- Philosophy, for a broader view of the world and a stronger sense of direction in your own life path

I am trained in different styles of Yoga, such as Hatha, Vinyasa and Yin Yoga, as well as Sound Healing Therapy and Ayurvedic Massage. Through these tools I guide and help my students to create a practice that best serves their own particular needs, whether that be to find more physical balance, mental clarity or emotional healing.
I come from a scientific background, specifically Physics and Mathematics, and Yoga came into my life out of this need to self regulate and further understand the Universe and my place in it. I feel that these two areas complement each other very well. I try to by precise and methodical, allowing the subjectivity of each one's experience to come to the surface, welcoming it and using it to explore our own reality.

Everyone is unique, with a certain life path, a specific set of desires, needs and difficulties and my goal is to help you by meeting you where you are and guiding you to where you want to go, giving you the tools to know yourself better and build a practice that works for you.

Yoga is a very broad tradition and there are multiple ways to achieve the Yoga state. By working together we can find out what works best for you and in a particular phase of your life and expand on that.
Yoga has certainly given me the foundation to relax when I feel overwhelmed, to know my body and mind and thus walk towards healing them of past traumas, and find spiritual connection and light when the world feels a little bit darker.

If you feel called to work in yourself and you feel I might offer what you are looking for, then contact me, let's chat a bit more and see how deep we can go.

May all beings find peace, happiness and love.
