Welcome!
As a body-centered breath therapist, I provide you with a safe space to work on your well-being.
My background
I was born in the port of Civitavecchia by Rome in 1972 and have weathered rough seas and calm waters since then. My backpack holds many life experiences, travel, study, and work in various fields. My most vital energy source is being in and around water - preferably swimming and sailing. I anchor myself in meditation, yoga, qi gong, and reading. My teenage kids teach me to read weather signs at any given moment. I live with my family and a handful of animals.
Professional history
During my earlier professional years, I led teams and managed projects for multinational companies. At a turning point, I returned to school, obtained a documentary filmmaking degree, and worked on various cultural projects for a few years.
As the waves settled and the water cleared, it became evident that I had to answer another call. I started training in the healthcare sector while deepening my Zen practice.
Today, I work as a complementary therapist in my private practice and as a nursing assistant in a competence center for palliative care.
