Pedro Maneira

The lead facilitator at Quintinha do Mar has over 13 years of experience working as a holistic therapist, supporting people through processes of emotional regulation, body awareness, and personal development.For the past 8 years, his work has been rooted at Quintinha do Mar, a family-run retreat space by the sea. Together with the founder of the space, they have helped shape an environment where deep inner work can take place in a grounded, safe, and respectful way.Pedro´s approach is practical, intuitive, and body-based, integrating emotional awareness, physical regulation, and spiritual presence without dogma or pressure. Retreats are held as intentional pauses, not as an escape from life, but as an opportunity to slow down, reconnect, and regain clarity.Each retreat is supported by a small team of trusted facilitators with experience in areas such as bodywork, mindfulness, breathwork, and creative expression. This allows participants to receive personalised attention, while remaining held within a clear and well-structured container.The facilitator’s role is to create the conditions for safety, presence, and trust, so each participant can engage honestly with their own process, at their own pace.
