Our story
Born from the belief that balance — like the Libra that inspires us — is a state achieved through movement, care and community.
Our philosophy
Studio Libra believes that true health is multidimensional. Body, mind and spirit are interdependent — when one suffers, all suffer. Our 360° approach integrates the best of mindful movement, specialist clinical care and wellness therapies to create a transformative and complete experience.
Carina Olim
Founder & Director
The founder
I grew up in a family where movement was celebrated, but it was during my physiotherapy training that I discovered the transformative power of the body when properly cared for. Every injury I treated was a story of resilience and rediscovery.
After years of clinical work in Portugal and abroad — deepening my Pilates training in New York and Traditional Chinese Medicine in London — I returned to Estoril, my home, with a clear vision: to create a space that was both rigorous and welcoming, scientific and holistic.
Studio Libra was born in Monte Estoril with that mission: to be the sanctuary I myself was searching for. A place where each person finds their unique balance, at their own pace.
The studio
Studio Libra occupies a unique space in Monte Estoril — bathed in natural light, surrounded by greenery and steps from the sea. The design was conceived to evoke serenity: natural materials, organic colours and quiet.
