My story
My journey in sports began when I was just three years old. From those early days, movement has been a constant thread in my life—shaping who I am and how I see the world. Over the years, I have trained and competed across a wide range of disciplines: running, football, basketball, athletics, volleyball, Spartan races, and most recently, triathlon.
Each sport has been a teacher. Running taught me endurance, football and basketball built teamwork and strategy, athletics gave me discipline, and obstacle races challenged me to push past limits. Triathlon, in particular, has deepened my understanding of resilience and balance—both physically and mentally.
What began as a passion has transformed into a mission: to guide others on their own path toward health, resilience, and self-discovery.
From athlete to guide
Through years of practice, I realized that performance isn’t just about training harder. It’s about integrating movement, recovery, and mindset. Without balance, the body breaks down. Without the right habits, progress fades.
That’s why I created U.Elevate—a space where sport, therapy, and wellbeing meet. My goal is not just to help you train, but to help you build sustainable habits that elevate every part of your life.
My mission with U.Elevate
At U.Elevate, we bring together:
Running Club — for community, endurance, and shared growth.
Massage Therapy — to restore balance, prevent injury, and accelerate recovery.
1:1 Movement Sessions — personalized support to improve mobility, strength, and mindset.
By combining these elements, I help individuals go beyond fitness goals — towards lasting wellbeing, resilience, and personal transformation.
Why Lisbon
Lisbon is not just where U.Elevate is based; it’s part of our identity. The city’s energy, outdoor lifestyle, and growing wellness community make it the perfect place to inspire change. Here, we train in the sun, recover by the ocean, and connect with like-minded people who believe in balance and growth.
I believe that wellbeing is not a quick fix, but a lifelong practice. It’s about small, consistent actions that create long-term change. My philosophy is rooted in three pillars:
Movement — staying active in ways that challenge and inspire.
Recovery — giving the body and mind the care they deserve.
Mindset — building resilience, discipline, and self-belief.
These pillars shape everything I do at U.Elevate, guiding both my own life and the way I support others.
Whether you’re an athlete looking to improve performance, someone starting your wellness journey, or simply searching for more balance in life—U.Elevate is here to guide you. Together, we’ll unlock your potential, strengthen your body, and elevate your wellbeing.
