Hi, I’m Felipe.

This is the long-winded version of some things that makes me who I am.

I’m an award-winning artist, a five-time entrepreneur with 20 years of marketing experience, and a decade working on business branding and consulting. With hundreds of hours teaching meditation and millions of moments practicing mindfulness. Coaching and training professionals since 2010 on how to work creatively with various tools and more recently focusing on assisting individuals on living a more mindful and meaningful life by embracing their spirituality, creativity, and exploring new positive experiences.

My father is a fine artist and interior designer, and my mother an educator on theology and philosophy. Early on, ideas, concepts, and experiences allowed me the privilege of having time and space to develop critical thinking, compassion, and existential drive that motivates me in my path of appreciating the beauty in every person and every moment. As a father myself of two expressive and creative children, now more than ever, I appreciate all the experiences that my childhood provided me.

When I moved from Brazil in 2013, I had to shift perspective and part of my personality and adapt to an unknown space and uncertain future. An introvert who longs for connections, I had to make myself face my fears and hold-backs to find the circles and community that I could communicate with. As much as I followed my heart when I accepted the idea that moving to The US would be the only way my love and I could be together. I had to choose to leave behind a life that was familiar for so very long.

The decision couldn’t have been better. I grew in ways that I couldn’t have imagined. Leaving my comfort zone made me want more. To overcome even more challenges and to help others overcome theirs as well.

I had to come to terms with my beliefs and shed old patterns, reconnecting with my spirituality and ancestors in novel ways. I had to develop and discover new models and disciplines that permitted me to translate and transcend experiences that were part of my walk. I had to abide and bend to new systems and vocabularies, which taught me to navigate business and relationships better and efficiently.

I learned about stress by experiencing it. I discovered how to cope with stress by necessity. But it was curiosity that brought me to unfold the theme and connect with the different perspectives that allow us to thrive through stress and create from its challenge.

Grateful for the perspective that I learn - and remains evolving - I find myself today between the roles and examples I’ve got from mentors in my life.

I look at life experiences with love, exposing people to ideas, concepts, and experiences that allow individuals to spend more time appreciating the beauty in every day and bringing more awe and awareness into their lives.

Thank you for spending the time to know me better,
