Bio

Robert worked in the financial industry for 36 years, and is reacclimatizing himself to living in the USA, after having lived in Brazil for well over decade. Since leaving Brazil and his life as he knew it with two suitcases in 2019, he has been prioritizing personal growth.

Robert has been doing various modalities of therapy for thirty-five years. He finds EMDR, with the right practitioner, to be very powerful, along with EFT Tapping. Three years ago, his exploration of therapeutic healing modalities led him to begin working with sacred plant medicine. 

Mission

Robert’s mission is to mindfully live in the present, free from ties to the past and projections for the future. 

Purpose

Robert’s purpose in life is to enjoy the journey, and more specifically, to improve the lives of children that OrphaNetwork serves in Nicaragua, as well as supporting the orphaned rhinos at Care For Wild in South Africa.
