About us
We are a strong and diverse professional community of Lisbon-based women with various coaching, therapeutic and healing specialisms, who meet regularly to share our knowledge and experiences, support each other and give back to the wider community.
Our vision
To be an inspiring women’s community for Lisbon-based therapists, coaches, healers and similar practitioners - supporting them to provide high-quality holistic therapy, coaching and expertise to the wider Lisbon and international population.
Our mission
Guided by our four core values - support, connection, growth and curiosity - we aim to:
- Cultivate and maintain a nurturing community in which our members can ground, connect, engage and flourish;
- Facilitate the sharing of diverse therapeutic and coaching-related expertise among our members, in order to develop our knowledge bases and the quality of our practices; and
- Give back to the wider Lisbon and international community through the sharing of our knowledge, experience and resources.
Our events
Our regular events (previously hosted under the “Happy in Lisbon: Expat Ladies and Local Sisters” group) include panel discussions, informative presentations, and social events (e.g. picnics, dinners, hikes), as well as ad hoc events organised by our members.
While we are currently a women-presenting community only, some of our informative events are open to men (please check the event description).
We would also love to help facilitate and collaborate with an equivalent therapists, coaches and healers community for men - so if you would be interested in running this, please let us know!
For any general questions about our community or events, please feel free to reach out to one of the Hosts (Claire, Irena, Kat or Samantha).
We look forward to meeting you!

Therapeutic Book Club: The Mountain Is You by Brianna Wiest
Kübe Alvalade coworking, R. do Centro Cultural 27A, 1700-106 Lisboa,, Lisbon, PTFor our next meeting of the Therapeutic Book Club, we will discuss The Mountain Is You: Transforming Self-Sabotage Into Self-Mastery by Brianna Wiest.
From Goodreads: This is a book about self-sabotage. Why we do it, when we do it, and how to stop doing it—for good. Coexisting but conflicting needs create self-sabotaging behaviors. This is why we resist efforts to change, often until they feel completely futile. But by extracting crucial insight from our most damaging habits, building emotional intelligence by better understanding our brains and bodies, releasing past experiences at a cellular level, and learning to act as our highest potential future selves, we can step out of our own way and into our potential.
The Therapeutic Book Club is aimed at self-discovery and self-reflection by exploring relevant themes and connecting with others in a safe environment. The group decides by vote which book will be read for the next meeting. The books are therapeutic in nature covering themes such as childhood trauma, anxiety, stress management and healthy relationships.
We are an open and non-judgemental group that welcomes a diversity of ideas and perspectives. This is also an inclusive event open to all genders.
Previous books we have read and discussed include Mating in Captivity: Reconciling the Erotic and the Domestic by Esther Perel, and The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness, and Healing in a Toxic Culture by Gabor Maté.
The event will take place at Kube Coworking, upstairs in the Open Hall. You can buy refreshments at the adjoining cafe before the event. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Anita (Niah) Sommers or Kat LeRoy.
