About Me
My Story
Born into a family in a small parish in the North of Portugal, I remember being labelled as the strange one, the different one, struggling to fit in from a young age. My poor health at birth led me to spend my first 5 years in hospital. Whatever happened after that is a story of resilience after the other, therefore my positive attitude towards life, regardless of the chaos around me, became part of my DNA.
Hello, my name is Agata Castro, I am a Mental Coach, specializing in Stress and Emotional Trauma Management and the creator of the Agata Method®. I love travelling, swimming, and playing chess . I came to England over 2 decades ago on a short break and soon made it into my home. After a short period working in Child Psychology, I embarked in the linguistics world and interpreted Parliamentary discussions through to Police interviews and medical procedures, giving a voice to people through my language skills for the last 15 years. It was in 2016 that I faced one of the biggest challenges so far, and that led me to this incredible world of holistic therapies.
Running on adrenaline for many years, the self-employed syndrome, the long hours and the sleepless nights got the best of me. I suffered a very impairing TIA together with a Burnout. I lost control of my body functions, my movements, and my cognitive abilities. This scary incident, where I was a hostage inside my own body, was the wake up call I needed. Conventional medicine soon proved to be ineffective. My body, intoxicated from decades of medication, stopped responding after some time. There was not much hope. Still strong, I refused to accept the doctor's ruling and it was up in the Himalayas that I found the inspiration and tools I needed to strongly set foot to recover.
Skeptical and scared at first, I was totally overwhelmed with the benefits I was experiencing, away from chemicals, not just on a physical level but on my mental health too. The way my body responded to mental commands. The freedom gained in releasing blocked emotions was so liberating, so easy, that I decided to train internationally, with the best of the best, to share this powerful healing experience with the world.
