Welcome!

I am Larissa Cardilo

Nature, the human body and its cycles have fascinated me. That is why my journey began in science: a degree in Biomedicine, a master’s in Biochemistry and a PhD in Immunology taught me to understand this universe. Yet motherhood, change, loss and new beginnings broadened my view of health: not merely the absence of illness, but the ability to live in harmony with ourselves and our world.

I believe the body is our home and gateway, where stories are held and imbalances can be recognised and restored. My mission is to care for women as beings, uniting science, the body and ancestral wisdom.

Today, I support women through transition, helping them reconnect with their essence and transform their lives and relationships.

Shall we walk this path together?

Gentle Guidance Through Life's Transitions

There comes a moment in every woman´s life when simply functioning is no longer enough. A moment when living to meet expectations begins to feel disconnected from who you truly are. You long to understand your changing body, reconnect with yourself and move through life with greater clarity and confidence. This is where my work begins.

Every programme invites you to reconnect with your body’s innate wisdom through an integrative approach that weaves together the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Somatic Bodywork and Natural Gynaecology. Rather than simply managing symptoms, my work focuses on restoring balance at the root, allowing lasting and meaningful change to unfold.

Every session leaves you with greater clarity, practical tools and a deeper connection with your own body—allowing the work to continue long after we meet.

Methodology:

My approach is rooted in the BODY as an active participant in the therapeutic process, we work together to identify and address the underlying causes of imbalance. This brings rhythm, clarity and direction, empowering you in life.

Techniques:

Depending on your needs, the work may include Traditional Chinese Medicine (Shiatsu), Somatic Bodywork (Rebozo, therapeutic movement and breathwork), Energy-based rituals, Herbal, tincture and essential oil recommendations, Systemic practices, Therapeutic journalling and Creative expression through art.

Tenda De Mulheres | Women’s Circle In Vienna

Monthly gatherings for Brazilian women, offering a nurturing space for self-discovery, connection and feminine empowerment, led with Paloma Varejão.

What people say about my work:

“In the Cierre de Matriz Ritual, I felt welcomed as my whole self. During the process, old pain held in my body finally found space to come to light. It wasn’t easy, but it felt deeply safe. I left that day feeling different, as if something within me had been reborn with more truth, tenderness, and awareness. I recommend this work to women who feel it is time to honour their story and open space for a new phase.”

Cristina Wurzer

“I came to Larissa with a personal issue that had been weighing on me for some time. Throughout the process, we worked with breath, movement, and Shiatsu, always with a deep sense of care and safety. Larissa guides the work with presence, intuition, and profound knowledge. Her loving, non-judgmental approach helped me look at my story from a new perspective and access important insights. I wholeheartedly recommend her work.”

Cordula Kreuch

“I really appreciate the care and beauty with which Larissa prepares the spaces, as well as the many possibilities for choice that are offered throughout the experiences. Larissa is warm, welcoming, creative and generous. Her touch is gentle and nurturing, and I especially appreciate her joy, vitality and groundedness. During the Cierre de Matriz Ritual, I also found it very beautiful how naturally she included a friend of mine in the process. In addition, I have already taken part in several Women’s Circles and a retreat, all co-facilitated by Larissa and Paloma”

Lisa R.

“My experience with Transitions Beginnings was truly exceptional. Throughout the entire process, I felt safe, welcomed, confident and supported. Larissa helped me explore deeper issues, recognise patterns and transform limiting beliefs, while giving me tools to navigate physical, emotional and energetic triggers. Her work is transformative, deeply human and individually tailored: she doesn’t tell us which path to take but helps us find our own.”
