Portugal “It has to be green or I’m not going!”
I therefore came and explored and chose central Portugal as this is where the properties that met my criteria and my price range, were situated. I was a little sceptical as people often describe hot countries as beautiful whereas I often find them barren, so as I journied with a friend I said “It has to be green or I’m not going” - When I tell peo- ple in Portugal they laugh as this is one of the greenest places on earth complimented by the reddest earth and the bluest sky – a true paradise.
I arrived at the end of May 2011 having sold up in the UK, my houses, car, and business and have become a Portu- guese resident. I have established a business called Yoga Retreats in Portugal and I provide EFT as a therapy and training courses to local residents (expats and Portu- guese) and to clients who come to stay at my retreat.
As an energy practitioner I combine my skills to achieve
the best outcome for my clients, so although the follow- ing case study was a client who came for Life Coaching; EFT, NLP, Colour Psychology, Reiki and Meditation all featured. EFT being the dominant therapy, as I find it so effective in removing the barriers to clients achieving their goals.
In writing this article the question came up as to how cli- ents in Portugal differed from those in the UK and I would say that they fall into two catagories; one being expats and the other being Portuguese nationals.
For Portuguese nationals all this work is new and innova- tive, this is a country who experienced a revolution less than 40 yrs ago and half of the people still live life as it was before the revolution, working and living off the land, some unable to read or write and without running water.
Yet for those born after the revolution and especially those living in Lisbon and its surroundings then they are highly educated living in very modern housing with all modern amenities and it is these young professionals who I have found to be my market.
