Mandala Institute
for Holistic Mental Health
The Refúgio Madeira Project
We all come to this life to experience joy, optimal health, success & prosperity, and love.
Refúgio Madeira is an ongoing Portuguese language series of experiential modules offered to support the local communities of our adopted home. Covering Nutrition, Healthy Relationships, Meditation, Self-Healing practices, Financial Health, and group Life & Career Coaching sessions.
These programs are offered on sliding scale and offer empowering, real world tools and frameworks for individuals who may not otherwise have access to them.
All modules are co-facilitated by
Andrew Nolan and Ana Mattos.
Ana Mattos began her career as a Registered Nurse 30 years ago and is qualified in Osteopathic and Naturopathic Medicine. She gained a Masters in Paediatric Osteopathy and specializes in Cranial Osteopathy and Woman’s Health.
