According to her memoirs the first mediunic manifestations bothered her a lot, since she was Catholic and did not feel comfortable with the paranormal powers. She sought out explanations in Spiritualism but could not adapt. Immersed in what the spirits told her she gave up her professional life and worked to implant the system that today is known as the Vale do Amanhecer.
According to her own writings, as soon as she was able to dominate the technique of projecting her body, she began to vistit other spiritual plains, where she received instructions that she applied among her community of mediums. Among the teachers of Tia Neiva was a Tibetan monk called Umahã, who she allegedly visited daily between 1959 and 1964 and who supposedly died in 1981.
In 1963 she caught a respiratory disease and was interned in a tuberculosis sanitarium in Belo Horizonte. She got better but began to breathe with only a small area of her lungs until her death in 1985.
