Hi, I’m Matilde.
I will guide you to speak your truth without fear —
and build relationships where honesty deepens trust,
not distance.
My work offers:
• Structure — for hard conversations,
• Steady accompaniment — through vulnerability,
• Motivation — to grow connection with clarity and care.
Transparency isn’t exposure.
It’s choosing — again and again — to let love see you,
not as you “should” be, but as you are.
