VISION: Imagine a world where you can overcome conditioning, a place that encourages free thinking, personal development, and connection that supports and helps you expand to live an extraordinary life.
THE OAKLIFT NAME
OAKLIFT stands for OAK (from “Carvalho” - Luis’s Portuguese surname) and LIFT. The oak represents strength and endurance - the king of the forest. LIFT means raising higher. Together, it’s about having the strength to rise above anything.

He doesn’t just talk about change, he helps people move through burnout, tough leadership challenges, and workplace stress with body-based methods that deliver real results in stress relief, emotional balance, and confidence.
