vanda sousa

i started my career as a pharmacist, with the goal of improving people's quality of life and i soon realized that this requires much more than medicines. during more than 18 years i worked for multinational pharmaceutical companies, going through different roles in sales, marketing and new business models. being aware that personal and professional well-being is essential and based on the benefits i was feeling from my personal yoga and meditation practice, i started an ongoing process of study, research and practice in this area. in 2018 i became a siy certified teacher and i am also a conscious parenting and conscious aging facilitator. currently, i am co-founder and lead mindfulness instructor at the school of we, a community for learning and building new ways of relating in business, society and with ourselves. since 2018 i am also responsible for the mindfulness at workplace programs at ser integral - centro português de mindfulness.
