Who is Paulo?
Hey, I’m Paulo, I am the founder of Transcend Studios. I built Transcend with the vision of you being able to join us and find a space where you feel safe, secure, held and able to heal. A home from home where you get to turn up and get supported in becoming the best version of yourself.
You’ll see me serving in the crystal & coffee shop, as well as teaching Qi Gong, Dance Fitness, Yoga and Sound healing here at Transcend. I’m also a Shiatsu massage practitioner, Reiki Healer and EFT practitioner offering group and one-to-one sessions.
I’m really proud to be the founder of Transcend Studios, Eccles. The space has been created with so much love and maintained through amazing connections and beautiful collaborations. I can’t wait to share this experience with you all and see you around.
