Known as the "Queen of Self Love," Neusa is a Mindset Elevation Coach, NLP Practitioner, and Youth Mentor dedicated to empowering women to elevate their mindset and make an impact on the world through the power of their voices.

Neusa specializes in guiding professional women struggling with burnout, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome to break free from limiting beliefs and unlock their feminine power. Her unique approach—Mindset Elevation Shift—helps women release lack mentality, overcome a stuck mindset, and reconnect with their authentic selves.

As an international speaker, Neusa has captivated audiences worldwide with powerful talks, workshops, and programs that inspire women to rediscover their worth, embrace their divine purpose, and embark on a profound journey of self-love. Her signature programs, 21 Days Mindset Elevation Shift have transformed lives, enabling women to become well-being coaches, holistic therapists, meditation teachers, speakers, and authors.

Despite wearing many hats, Neusa remains a fearless, thought-provoking storyteller known for her poetic flow. Her debut international talk in 2021, presented in Portuguese, was delivered to audiences in Brazil and Mozambique.

Neusa is also a sought-after host, having delivered prestigious award ceremonies in Basel, Zurich and Switzerland. Her personal journey of battling body dysmorphic disorder, binge eating disorder, and severe mental health challenges, while refusing medical intervention, speaks to her resilience. Through spirituality, self-care, and self-love, she triumphed, becoming a personal trainer and mentor for other women. Neusa now channels her experiences into poetic storytelling and will soon launch her first book in her native language.
