My life has been a journey of change. 

I started my career in Italy as a software engineer in the research team of an Italian company, but a growing call to working with people, rather than machines, eventually took over. 

I trained in Community Psychology and qualified as a Biodanza teacher (music - movement and contact in groups) and after creating my own tiny charity in Italy, I worked as its group facilitator for several years. 

Being baffled in my private life by entrenched difficulties in the area of intimate relationships, I made a really bold choice and I left my work and my country in 2006 in search of spiritual healing.

I spent many years living and serving in spiritual communities and monasteries in the US and UK and partially in India and Sweden, mostly within Buddhist traditions. 

Eventually, my desire to work with people pushed me back to undertake a professional coaching diploma and to deepen my skills in therapeutical approaches with my Internal Family Systems qualification.

Having invested all my life in healing my own issues with intimate relationships and low self-esteem, I consider my current ability to co-create intimacy and fulfilment with my life partner, the highest achievement of my career.

This is why I want to help people with their own issues, coaching both individuals and couples to achieve happier, more loving and more fulfilling lives.
