Mobility Training | Massage | Meditation | Vegan

I studied at the Law University of Torino (Italy), got my PhD, and worked as a lawyer for 7 years, satisfying all the social expectations an Italian girl was supposed to achieve. Like many other people, I burned out. 

I started practicing Yoga and Meditation in my 20s to support a knee pathology (chondromalacia), mild scoliosis, and an anxious, introverted personality. In my early 30s, I started a regular practice in the Jivamukti and Ashtanga traditions. I learned about cult abuses and the (lack of) science of stretching. I became more interested in somatics, mobility training, functional anatomy and movement culture, and moved away from “traditional” yoga. 

A different educational and career path. I started my first Training at Zen Yoga (Dynamic Mindfulness 200h), where I got in touch with the Buddhist tradition and biomechanics: such an interesting combination for an atheist like me who is fascinated by philosophy and applied anatomy. I continued my education with other training (advanced 550h YTT; Fullbody® Massage Training) and workshops (Thai massage, somatic therapy, Ido Portal method). I keep myself updated by studying and practicing different physical disciplines.

What to expect from me. I’ve been teaching since 2017 and giving massages since 2018. My working style is holistic, but science-based. My approach to spiritualism is purely academic. I love to keep people active and in good shape. I’m particularly interested in students/clients who are sporty/athletic, and in people recovering from injuries or dealing with congenital conditions: they keep me on my toes and further motivate my studies. I want to help people age with self-agency, a healthy functioning body, mindfulness, and compassion.

More about me. During my free time, I take care of over 100 houseplants and an outdoor garden, read tons of books, paint, cook, workout at the local CrossFit center, hike, and climb mountains, living a simple, tranquil introverted life. I’m back running despite my chondromalacia patella flaring up now and then, and run 10-25km twice a week. I’ve been an ethical vegan since 2016, and I live my life with my beloved husband, who has been my partner since 1999, and helps to keep alive critical thinking and laughter.
