About Thaisa:I’m Thaisa, originally from Brazil but raised in the UK since I was 8. After university in 2012, I worked in corporate for almost 10 years until I realized I wanted a different path. During my 2021 maternity leave, I retrained as a massage therapist and transitioned into a more fulfilling career.Since then, I’ve co-founded Her Sanctuary to support women and the CW Female Entrepreneurs network. My personal experiences, both as a child and as a mother, have driven me to support others, especially women. I’m passionate about holistic wellness, working closely with people to improve their physical and mental well-being.https://www.instagram.com/themassagespaceuk/ https://www.instagram.com/her_sanctuary_uk/ https://www.instagram.com/thaisa.uchoas/
