From stagnation to
movement & innovation

NOTHING IS FOREVER!

Hi, mindful movers, I’m Ana and it’s my passion to bring awareness based tools and resources as means to embrace change. I facilitate a space for individuals and organisations to widen their perspective on change, mindfulness and innovation, and how these can be effectively applied to transform and improve our daily life.

I do this through my podcast MiMC and my mindfulness services, MiCA. I also run workshops and classes.

I believe that change, when embraced, can serve as a powerful catalyst for crafting innovative solutions that ultimately enrich the collective entirety of humanity and our planet.

ABOUT MiCa

Mindfulness & embodiment are more than just trends

An educated, informed body, is a power house that creates change, and meaningful impact

Mindfulness is not about avoiding pain, discomfort, or change. In fact it is quite the opposite! Mindfulness is the application of meditation practices with the potential to empower us to hold space for a life of uncertainty, and unpredictability. This in turn sets the tone for the choices we wish to make for our well being, and that of the planet we live in.

This is why I created MiCa Mindfulness services, to support altruistic individuals and organisations who are good at giving to others but less to themselves.

MiCa stands on these 4 pillars

  • Movement

    Using the body as a connection to embracing life’s impermanence

  • Innovation

    Developing our human capacity, we craft the catalyst for positive change

  • Connection

    Bringing body-mind awareness to nurture meaningful connections

  • Agency

    Establishing clarity from a centered place, we are inspired to take action

MY BACKGROUND & QUIRKS

I’m an ever changing human. But this was not clear to me until my life took a spin. As I was holding onto a life which I believed to be a linear path, I crumbled through a fixed mindset that wasn’t contributing to my well being. Once I reconnected to my body through various embodiment practices, I decided to start my own podcast on how we can gracefully live with change and impermanence.

Back in 2015 I initiated a journey of meditation and since then complemented my individual practices with the essential certifications needed to develop myself as a mindfulness instructor: NVC level 1, MBSR course, several silent retreats, Embodiment Coach Certification, and Mindfulness Teacher Training.

I move between Amsterdam and Portugal with my rescue dog Gaia, and share the love for travels and entrepreneurship with my partner.

With a professional background in UX Design, I also teach User Experience Design, which in the end is not so distant to the qualities we develop with Mindfulness and Embodiment.

  • Manuela Gomes

    I like the weekly training that invites us to be there and only there, deliberately! Ana gives everyone the space to go through this process and her guidance reinforces our awareness and attention to all the components of our being and the universe that connects us.
