SINTA
SINTA (in Portuguese) means FEEL.
Through Yin Yoga, Breathwork and guided experiences, SINTA offers an invitation to slow down, reconnect with yourself and become more present in your body. A space to soften, settle and down-regulate, creating room to breathe, listen inward and return to what feels true.
In this very busy modern world, we seem to have drifted away from our natural ability to be present, to feel grounded and connected within. Often, we find ourselves running on autopilot, ticking off never-ending to-do lists, rushing from one commitment to another while being constantly stimulated by information and distractions. Over time, this can leave us feeling depleted, burnt out and increasingly disconnected from self.
The intention of this work is to remind you of your true nature, to support you coming back to yourself. Through practices that foster mindfulness, embodiment and the nurturing of your being, you are invited to remember the wisdom and wholeness that have always been present.
At SINTA, each session - both in person and online - is held with intention, presence and care by Luisa. With an intuitive ability to tune into each individual and her professional experience in embodied practices she creates a space where you can feel safe to slow down, be honest with yourself and meet whatever is present. Each offering is grounded in authenticity and the belief that there is power in simply allowing yourself to be.
Offerings
Inhale, Exhale
An hour-long session as an invitation to slow down, come into your body and allow your breath to support you. You will learn and practice functional breathing techniques, informed by the science of how breath influences the nervous system, to support down-regulation and a more settled state. The intention is not simply to practice during the session but to give you practical tools so you can continue to use in your everyday life. Over time, these techniques can become more familiar and natural, supporting you to breathe in more optimal ways and giving you tools to help regulate yourself during moments of stress, overwhelm or anxiety.
(In person & online offering $110/ 60 min session.)
Breathe Yin
A 75 minute session where you’ll surrender into a Yin practice deeply supported by the breath. Yin is an invitation to be in your body, softening into presence with all that is there within you. We welcome feelings, emotions and thoughts, allowing ourselves to be exactly as we are in each moment, with nothing to fix or change. The breath becomes a beautiful supportive tool, helping you connect with the wisdom of your body and your own inner guidance as you move through a deeply grounding experience.
An offering for the whole being: physical, emotional, energetic and mental.
(In person & online offering $135/ 75 min session.)
Transformational Breathwork
These powerful, trauma-informed sessions are offered to those looking for a deeper somatic breath experience, one that can sometimes open the door to profound shifts and new awareness.
The sessions follow the Rhythm of Breath model and offer a unique, non-invasive way to connect with the many layers of the body (physical, energetic, emotional and mental) while exploring your own innate capacity to release what may be ready to move.
Each person will respond to the practice differently and no two sessions are necessarily the same. The invitation is to surrender into the experience, allowing the breath and the wisdom of your body to guide you. Integration is an important part of this offering. Time is held at the end of each session for integration, with follow-up support via calls or email within the first 48 hours afterwards included as part of the offering. Please note that this practice has contraindications. A health and wellbeing questionnaire must be completed and reviewed prior to confirming your session.
(In person only offering $250/ 2hs session - approx. 60 min of Transformational journey + prep and integration.)
Meet your facilitator, Luisa
Luisa is originally from Brazil and has called Australia home for 11 years. She loves being in nature and understands us humans as part of it. In the past few years Luisa has been holding safe spaces as a Birthkeeper (certified Holistic Doula), Yoga Instructor (Yin and Hatha Teaching certifications) and Ceremonies & Women's Circles facilitator.
The calling to be of service in those spaces, where openness and vulnerability are often present, has led her to connect with many incredible people and these experiences continue to expand her in profound ways.
Her journey as a Trauma-Informed Breathwork facilitator (trained and certified by Rhythm of Breath) has been her most recent and meaningful expansion of her work. Luisa was driven to deepen her knowledge of the mechanisms of breath through noticing over the years how important the way we breathe is when it comes to grounding into presence, both within the practices she guides and in our day-to-day lives.
She is passionate about supporting people through the processes that bring us back to ourselves, to who we truly are beyond the noise and distractions of this busy world. She believes in our ability to be in our bodies with all that we feel within and to soften into it without trying to fix or change what is there or running away from it.
Luisa's sessions are held with intention and purpose, with an understanding that our bodies can hold deep emotions and experiences. She makes sure that each practice is supportive of the unique individual she is connecting with and takes the holding of a safe space and privacy very seriously.

Her wisdom flows so naturally through her teaching and her guidance through Yin and Breathwork feels gentle yet deeply intuitive.
