"Restore. Recover. Perform."
Hanna de Sousa
True wellbeing is about more than recovery. It’s about creating balance, building resilience, and reconnecting with yourself.
With over 20 years of experience in massage therapy, Hanna de Sousa combines expert bodywork with a holistic approach to help clients restore, recover, and thrive. Having worked with professional athletes, luxury five-star spas, and private clients, she brings a personalised approach to every treatment. As a certified Reiki practitioner, she blends therapeutic massage with energy work that may help to promote deep relaxation, physical recovery, and emotional wellbeing.
Hanna’s work is uniquely shaped by her own journey as an elite endurance athlete. A former competitive triathlete, she became the overall female winner of Ironman Vitoria-Gasteiz in 2022 and has since won ultra-distance cycling races, completed the legendary Transcontinental Race, and achieved multiple podium finishes in trail running. Her firsthand understanding of performance, recovery, and resilience allows her to support clients with genuine insight and experience.
Certified in sleep, stress, and recovery coaching, Hanna offers a truly integrated approach to wellness. Combining her expertise as both an athlete and therapist, she offers a comprehensive approach to recovery, helping clients improve physical performance, mental resilience, and overall wellbeing.
As an endurance athlete and wellbeing advocate, Hanna also delivers motivational talks, workshops, and outdoor mindfulness experiences. Drawing on years of competing in some of the world’s most demanding endurance events, she shares practical tools for building resilience, improving focus, and managing stress: skills that empower people to perform at their best in sport, work, and everyday life.
In addition, Hanna leads guided cycling tours throughout Portugal and internationally, creating unforgettable experiences that combine adventure, connection, and the joy of exploring by bike.

Pock@ was born from a shared passion for cycling, adventure, and discovering the world on two wheels.
As experienced ultra-endurance cyclists, bikepackers, and cycling guides, we’ve spent thousands of kilometres exploring Portugal and beyond. From self-supported races and remote gravel tracks to quiet backroads and hidden cafés, we’ve learned that the best journeys are about more than the destination: they’re about the people, the places, and the experiences along the way.
Our tours are designed to take you beyond the typical tourist routes. Whether you’re looking for a relaxed day ride, a multi-day bikepacking adventure, or a challenging gravel expedition, we’ll guide you to unforgettable landscapes, authentic local culture, and roads you might never have found on your own.
The name Pock@ reflects the spirit of every cycling adventure. We aim to be more than your guides; we’re your local experts, mechanics when needed, route planners, storytellers, and riding companions.
