Words can scarcely capture the profound impact Pedro has had on my life. I’ve now been working with Pedro for over a year, but I can confidently say that in the first two months under his guidance, I experienced more growth and insight than I did in two years of therapy. Pedro has led me toward a deeper understanding of myself and has equipped me with tools and skills that I now apply to every facet of my life. His influence has been truly transformative, and I am deeply grateful for the positive direction my life has taken since we first met.

Working with Pedro was transformative. His approach helped me to understand different parts of myself with more clarity. I've spent many years in therapy but what really set him apart was his focus on actually feeling my feelings rather than just analysing them intellectually. That combination of head and heart created space for more change. I came away with a deeper, more compassionate relationship with myself. I'd recommend him to anyone looking for meaningful, lasting growth.

I worked with Pedro for six months and deeply appreciated his warm, grounded presence, even through Zoom. What stood out most to me was his radical acceptance and his ability to welcome all parts of me, including the parts I was resisting myself.
Pedro creates an exceptionally safe and intelligent space for self-inquiry. I particularly valued his guidance into somatic awareness and the way he helped me reconnect to what was happening in my body with curiosity rather than judgment. He is an excellent space holder: thoughtful, perceptive, and deeply human.
One of the things I noticed during our work together was a renewed sense of life force, presence, and grounded flow across very different areas of my life — both creative and practical. I found myself able to move through demanding, varied projects with more calm focus, clarity, and aliveness. There was a simple but profound “chopping wood, carrying water” quality to it all.
I would highly recommend working with him.

In 3,5 months with Pedro, I have unblocked more than I have ever had in years of talk therapy!
Thanks to Pedro and his wonderful guidance, I have been learning that is okay to feel difficult emotions, that I can accept and embrace all parts of me and that our bodies hold a great wisdom!
I highly recommend these sessions!

After trying several forms of conventional therapy for many years, working with Pedro has been another paradigm of therapy for me.
Pedro compels you to want to see the truth beneath the stories and intellectualisations that can sustain patterns of struggle. He’s provided insights and tools that have changed my relationship with myself dramatically. I no longer default to a state of self abandonment, and far easier find the courage to embrace my experience in whatever form it takes. I now see anxiety as something not be intellectually bargained with, but as an opportunity for self acceptance. I’ve gained insight on how to heal the harsh relationship I had with my creativity. I understand how the desire to ‘get better’ can place you in a state of waiting and non-acceptance of where you are.
I've never felt more prepared to not be in therapy. Overall Pedro has helped me embrace whatever form I take, and I wish that for everyone - I can’t thank him enough for it.

Working with Pedro has helped me uncover and overcome obstacles which has helped me become a more connected and peaceful person. He enabled me to safely access some old wounds and heal from them. I’ve especially benefited from embodiment practices that we developed for my personal needs. I no longer feel the need to intellectualize my emotions and am able to connect with my physical sensations in a way that has brought me closer to who I really am. I can’t recommend working with Pedro highly enough — his perspective has enriched my life in many ways and I am full of gratitude for that.

Working with Pedro has been essential in getting to know myself better and becoming more true and authentic. I met Pedro by chance, and he became an ally. He creates a deeply safe space, and within that safety I was able to sit with uncomfortable emotions: fears, insecurities, uncertainty, despair, grief. Through the questions he asks and the reflections he offers, I’ve come to integrate these feelings more deeply and accept them — to accept the parts of me I carry inside. If you’re carrying burdens that feel bigger than you, I wholeheartedly recommend working with Pedro.

For many years I have been working on and dealing with what would now be termed CPTSD (complex trauma, sometimes termed childhood trauma) using traditional psychotherapy, CBT, hypnotherapy and more, realizing that while each has helped in different ways, it wasn’t reaching the core. While each has its merits, I needed to find someone who really understands CPTSD in particular, also who knows how to truly assist in healing from it. Most importantly to face what I was trying so hard to avoid through intellectualization among many other habits that were not serving me well. […] Most of all to allow myself to feel the deep emotions that I feared to engage with because they would be so overwhelming, fearing I might break, or worse, that I may never face them and live the rest of my life stuck and diminished. I needed to learn to cry again.
Pedro is exceptionally skilled in so many areas. […] This in itself leads to a feeling of trust that makes it safe to follow Pedro into the “room” where all of those scary feels are, to look them in the eye, to look yourself in the eye, then embrace you, them, all of it and fully engage. There is learning here that is very profound, filled first of all with self-forgiveness that leads to a feeling of having the inner weights lifted off the soul, a sort of expansion. To breathe easier.
[…] My journey is far from over. When I met with Pedro I thought this journey was going to be close to insurmountable. That it would take all the years to undo all the years. […] I am amazed at how quickly I was able to move through that feeling to a place where that feels far away, where what is ahead is so much lighter and full of potential. It is a different journey for everyone, but it is a journey worth taking. Pedro has been instrumental in mine.

I really appreciate the way Pedro works. He has a very good ability to notice patterns in the way people interact and reflect them back to you, which makes things you might otherwise not see much clearer. He helps you not only understand what is happening, but also actually feel it and experience it differently. His approach feels both insightful and practical, and I’ve found the conversations genuinely valuable.

I had an excellent experience working with Pedro for somatic therapy. He created a calm, welcoming space that made it easy to open up, even as someone completely new to this approach. Pedro has a real gift for guiding beginners. He helped me develop awareness of my bodily sensations with patience and clarity. His thoughtful, wise presence made each session feel both grounded and insightful, despite my habit of overthinking things. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking somatic therapy and a better emotional connection between body and mind.

Pedro is at the leading edge of consciousness.
When I first started speaking with Pedro, I had no idea that this was the person who would help to reveal my higher purpose. His light gentleness is merely a silver lining to one powerful soul who can touch your deepest truth. Pedro will show you what it means to be a student of life in your quest for self-development and embodiment. I will always cherish the time spent working with Pedro, it gave me so much structure and balance in a way that felt organic; as though I could sit back and watch myself blossom into the being I had always wanted to be.
Pedro is not only a natural coach but an inspiring person. He really listens to you and holds space for you to be vulnerable, honest, and every other strange or beautiful emotion you can feel. Even in the difficult moments, he will honor you and point to your inner compass. This kind of presence and wisdom fills you with motivation to go out into the world, heart first. Thank you Pedro for the life changing program! This was a truly priceless experience.

I’ve been working with Pedro for over an year and it has been a joy to find inner strength and light that stays on in the darkness. Really helping to remove some of the complexity of life that doesn't need to be there, and focusing on what brings structure, clarity and energy to life.
I'm very happy to still be working with him and each session leaves me feeling more understanding of my self and how to keep progressing in life and reaching my highest ambitions.

I worked with Pedro for six months following a significant life change, during a period when I needed support, clarity, and a better understanding of my emotions and thoughts. […] One of the things I appreciated most was his ability to create a space where I felt genuinely heard and understood, especially during moments when I questioned my own reasoning or struggled to make sense of my feelings. […] His approach helped me feel more comfortable navigating difficult emotions and trusting my own process, rather than feeling that I needed to have all the answers straight away. Looking back, I'm grateful for the support and guidance Pedro provided during such an important period of my life.

The thing about Pedro is that each session is going to be emotional labor. You have to want it. But if you do - if you choose to enter the tunnel, you come out the other side feeling stronger. Tired, yet somehow refreshed and renewed.
Let Pedro help you unlock what is inside you, good or bad, that you can experience it, accept it, and allow it to thrive (or let it go).
My 2 years with Pedro has been nothing less than transformative in my life. I am truly grateful.
