I lived in the Netherlands for more than 18 years, so I know from personal experience what it means to create a life in a country far from home.
Living abroad can be exciting, enriching and deeply transformative. But it can also require considerable energy to understand a different culture, navigate unfamiliar ways of communicating and relating, and find your place without losing your sense of who you are.

My own experience was a journey of both love and frustration. Over time, I learned that integration was not about becoming Dutch or leaving my Italian identity behind. It was about discovering what I could learn from both cultures and creating my own way of being. And when I returned to Italy in 2023, I discovered something unexpected: despite being Italian, I sometimes felt like a foreigner in my own country.
It brought me back to a question that many people living between cultures may recognise:

What if I don't have to choose between who I was and who I have become? What if I can simply be myself?

That experience continues to shape the way I work today.

From personal experience to professional practice

After changing direction in my career, I became deeply interested in understanding people, their bodies, emotions, behaviours and the ways they respond to life.
I trained in several approaches across Europe and the United States, including somatic bodywork, focusing, counseling, coaching, meditation, movement and energy work. Alongside my formal training, I have spent years studying, researching and, most importantly, applying these approaches to my own life.
This has shaped one of my core beliefs: There is no single method that works for everyone. Each person brings a different history, personality, culture, body, relationships and way of experiencing the world.
For this reason, I don't believe in applying a rigid formula to every client. I draw from different approaches and adapt the work to the person sitting in front of me and to what is alive for them at that particular moment.

Beyond understanding. Towards experiencing

Many of us are very good at thinking about our lives: we analyze, we understand, we find explanations and we make plans! And yet, understanding something intellectually does not always change how we experience it.

This is where my body-centered approach comes in.

I pay attention to the connection between body, emotions, thoughts and relationships, helping you notice what may be happening beneath the surface and reconnect with your own experience, because sometimes your body knows something before your mind has found the words for it.
My role is not to tell you who you should become or how you should live. It is to create a space where you can slow down, feel, explore and discover your own answers.

A space where you can be yourself

People I work with often tell me that they appreciate the sense of safety and openness I create. A space where they don't have to perform, have everything figured out or worry about being judged. A space where they can be curious about themselves and explore what is really happening beneath the surface.

For me, this is where meaningful change begins. Not by trying to become someone else, but by developing a deeper relationship with who you already are.
