There is a place where science and spirit meet.
Where these two universes make sweet love and give birth to astonishing art.
A place where healing is both an art and a precise unfolding of life’s mystery.
Where the body, mind, and soul reunite in joy, love, and wisdom.
This is the path I walk — and the journey I offer.
But before that… let me tell you a secret:
I didn’t always live in this world of healing and consciousness.
I used to live in the lab. Like… live.
Once upon a time, I was hurting, insecure, and starving for validation.
I let life unfold without a clear path… and somewhere in the ebbs and flows, I fell into a career I fell in love with.
The more I studied and hustled, the more disconnected I became from my body and my intuition.
So I did what many high-achievers do when life feels too messy:
I went where things make sense.
I went where results are measurable.
I went where feelings don’t get a vote.
Where I could control variables and observe outcomes.
The lab became my playground — and my safe place.
I closed myself in, making compounds from scratch, mixing, building, watching matter form in real time.
Structures assembling.
Playing with metals.
Playing with DNA.
Watching cells grow and proteins flow.
I worked with mice. I disrupted microbiomes.
I chased mechanisms like a love story with a deadline.
And for a while, that world felt safe.
Until it didn’t.
Because the deeper truth was: I had mastered a familiar game — proving my worth through performance.
A game I learned long before the lab.
And then my soul started knocking. Hard.
There was noise in my mind… but also a whisper that cut through the pattern.
It came between losses, between grief, between those quiet moments where you can’t lie to yourself anymore.
It said:
“Hey babe… cute spreadsheets. But are you alive?”
The call wasn’t “quit science.” It was “come deeper.”
I didn’t leave science because it failed me.
I left because it wasn’t enough — and I couldn’t keep living inside environments that punished sensitivity and rewarded self-abandonment.
Science gave me rigor, discernment, and the ability to smell bullshit from three kilometers away.
But it didn’t teach me how to feel grief in my ribs.
Or how to soften when my nervous system went into war mode.
Or how to stop treating my worth like a performance review.
So I did what I’ve always done:
I researched.
But this time, the lab was my own body, my mind, and my soul.
Breathwork. Somatics. Trauma science. Attachment. Shadow work. Altered states. Integration. Ancestral wisdom.
The nervous system as the real “operating system” behind your entire personality.
And somewhere along the way, something clicked:
I wasn’t broken.
I was un-met.
The plot twist: I’m neurodivergent — and it changed everything.
For most of my life, I thought I needed to be “less.”
Less intense.
Less sensitive.
Less obsessive.
Less all-or-nothing.
Less “why can’t you just be normal?”
Discovering I’m neurodivergent didn’t give me a label to hide behind.
It gave me a map.
Suddenly, my patterns made sense:
The way I can hyperfocus like a laser and then crash like a Victorian poet.
The way I can read a room in 0.2 seconds, but struggle with small talk about… nothing.
The way my mind makes connections faster than my mouth can explain them.
The way I can hold deep emotional space for others… and forget to eat.
And here’s the part that matters:
Learning this helped me become kinder to myself.
Not “nice.” Accurate.
I stopped trying to force myself into someone else’s nervous system design.
I started building my life around what actually supports me: rhythms, recovery, simplicity, truth, and deep work that means something.
Neurodivergence didn’t make me “special.”
It made me honest.
And honesty is where healing begins.
So who am I now?
I’m Rosa F. Brissos, PhD — a scientist turned somatic coach and psychedelic preparation/integration facilitator.
A bridge between worlds.
Science and ancestral wisdom — dancing together without either one being watered down.
I’m here for high achievers, entrepreneurs, leaders, and sensitive powerhouses who look “fine” on the outside… but inside are:
-
overthinking everything
-
carrying old trauma in a high-functioning costume
-
craving depth, intimacy, alignment, and real freedom
-
ready to stop collecting insights and start living them
I blend science and spirit to support those ready to live with more joy, vitality, and purpose.
Not as a vibe.
As a nervous system state.
The “prove it” section (aka my training)
Because yes — I’m poetic.
And yes — I’m also allergic to vague claims.
My background includes:
-
PhD in Organic Chemistry / Medicinal & Biological Chemistry
-
Master’s in Biomedical Inorganic Chemistry
-
Postdoctoral research (including antimicrobial peptides + translational medicine focused on the microbiome)
-
Science Communication training
-
Transformational Nutrition Coaching
-
SOMA Breathwork Level 1 & 2 instructor
-
Plant medicine training (held with deep respect and a harm-reduction lens)
Translation: I can talk neurochemistry, attachment patterns, and spiritual surrender — in the same sentence — without losing the plot.
Ever wondered what it’s like to work with someone obsessed with science and soul?
Here’s the insider view.
1) First Contact: I don’t do surface-level.
I want to know the stories that make your eyes shine, the moments that broke you open, and the wild journeys that made you you.
Not to analyze you like a case study — but to truly see you clearly.
We look at the patterns you keep repeating.
The places you self-abandon.
The coping strategies (and sometimes addictions) that used to protect you… and now cost you intimacy, energy, or joy.
No shame. Just precision.
2) Strategy: we build something alive.
Together, we craft a path designed specifically for you — no one-size-fits-all “morning routine” tyranny.
This touches your:
-
nervous system
-
mind + emotions
-
body + energy
-
relationships
-
purpose and expansion (the part you keep postponing)
Rooted in science. Guided by spirit. Always evolving.
Because you’re not a static “problem.” You’re a miraculous living system.
3) Touchpoints: every session is a portal.
We adjust, celebrate, tweak, and elevate in real time.
Because transformation isn’t static.
It’s electric.
And yes — sometimes it’s messy.
That’s not a glitch. That’s the nervous system rewiring itself into safety, honesty, and power.
What I’m building (and why you might care)
My dream is simple, but not small:
To create a world where people stop outsourcing their worth, stop spiritualizing their self-abandonment, and stop calling dysregulation “just stress.”
A world where:
-
your body feels like home
-
your relationships feel safe and honest
-
your ambition is fueled by devotion, not trauma
-
your gift stops getting punished by your inner critic
-
your healing becomes practical, integrated, and real
If you’ve done therapy, read the books, had the awakenings… and you’re still stuck in certain loops?
That’s not because you didn’t try hard enough.
It’s because insight alone doesn’t retrain the nervous system.
Integration does.
If you’re feeling the pull…
If something in you is whispering, “This is the depth I’ve been looking for,” trust that.
You don’t need to be at rock bottom.
You just need to be ready to stop negotiating with the parts of you that keep settling.
Want to explore working together?
Start with a first session (or message me and we’ll find the right entry point).
Because you can be brilliant and regulated.
Mystical and grounded.
High-achieving and soft.
Science and spirit were never enemies.
They were always meant to meet — inside you.
