Sympoiesis - School for the Multipotential Self
You are not here to fit into a role.
You are here to build one.
Sympoiesis is a space for professionals who are ready to rethink how they live, lead and create.
Sympoiesis means co-creation.
A concept rooted in Greek philosophy and revived in systems thinking, it describes how meaningful change does not happen in isolation — but through relationships, integration, and collaboration.
At Sympoiesis, there is an understanding that both people and systems evolve through connection, between parts, perspectives, and possibilities.
Whether you are navigating a transition, building a project, or stepping into a new level of leadership — this is where you learn how to work with the full complexity of who you are.
Not by choosing one path.
But by learning how to integrate many.
Services
The School
A new way of learning how to think, choose and create as a whole system within systems.
An interdisciplinary school for those who refuse linear paths and want to design meaningful lives and work.
Launching end of 2026.
Coaching Sessions
A space to think clearly, decide fully and act with direction and self-leadership. We will work with your multiple parts, not against them — so your ideas become structured, lived realities.
Co-designing Human-centered Research and Projects
I work with individuals, startups, small enterprises and NGOs to design educational or health-related projects rooted in real human needs. From deep listening to co-directing strategic execution, we co-create meaningful, impactful solutions for the world we actually live in.
Sympoiesis operates at the intersection of human development and systems change, contributing to key UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):
– SDG 3 — advancing health and well-being
– SDG 4 — enabling transformative learning and capacity-building
– SDG 5 & 10 — fostering inclusion, equity, and diverse leadership
– SDG 17 — building meaningful cross-sector partnerships
About me
My background is in Medicine.
I completed my medical residency at IPO Lisbon in Clinical Pathology. Along the way, I was increasingly invited to facilitate trainings and support other healthcare professionals.
It was through facilitating medical education programs in Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, and São Tomé and Príncipe that I felt a clear need to deepen my toolkit. Most of the challenges professionals brought were not technical or scientific — they were human: related to leadership, relationships, organization, and meaning.
I participated in the WYSE International Leadership Programme in Kenya, where I deepened my practice in facilitation, listening, human development and leadership (inner and outer).
From there, I began training in Coaching with TPC Leadership (UK), where I am currently in training and supervision, and continued my studies in Psychodynamic and Transpersonal Psychology, Psychosynthesis, and Humanistic Psychology.
In September, I will begin a PhD in Psychology at ISCTE, focused on the impact of co-designing in people’s agency and behaviour change.
I am also the author of The Boy Who Drew the Invisible: a short story about a boy who dares to dream, even when everything around him seems impossible. Perhaps because, deep down, I believe imagination and meaning are also forms of healing.
Today, my work lives at the intersection of:
– science and humanity
– structure and presence
– individual and system
I am not here to give answers.
I am here to create the conditions for each person to find their own — with greater clarity, awareness, and alignment.
