Yoga instructor, somatic coach, massage therapist, reiki and and energy healer with 17 years of experience — blending technical insight from an engineering background with a grounded, holistic approach to well-being.
My yoga journey began in 2009, while I was working in development cooperation. A wise housemate — gently persistent — encouraged me to try a yoga class, assuring me it would do me good. She was right.
I started with Hatha yoga in the Sivananda tradition, and, influenced by my years in Southeast Asia, soon wove Buddhist meditation into my daily rhythm. Those early morning practices became a grounding ritual before full days at the office.
Three years later, back in Europe, I made a life-changing decision: I stepped away from the corporate world to devote myself more fully to yoga. I spent six transformative months in a yoga ashram, and the years that followed were a rich alternation of freelance summers teaching yoga in Costa Smeralda and winters of study and practice in India, Bali, and Malaysia.
Alongside yoga, I was drawn to the healing power of touch. In 2013, I completed my first Ayurvedic massage training, beginning an adventure of learning to bring soothing and restorative effects through bodywork.
I am a certified Level 1 and 2 Reiki Practitioner, with initial training in Laos (2009) and advanced training in India (2013). Reiki opened the door to the energetic dimension of healing, complementing the physical practices I was already developing.
My studies expanded further into Somatic Coaching, a powerful approach that addresses postural-related pain as well as the deeper emotional and mental patterns held in the body.
Through six years of training in the Grinberg Method®, I cultivated a way to integrate somatic coaching and massage techniques with yoga. This fusion has become my own unique method of supporting holistic healing — inviting release, presence and reconnection.
Since 2019, I deepened my work with the subtle body through Pranic Healing, learning to clear energetic blockages that physical modalities alone couldn’t reach.
Today, I support clients not only through work on the physical body, but also — it feels aligned for them — through energy clearings that reach beyond it.
Before dedicating my life to wellness, I lived in eight countries, working with the European Commission, in development cooperation, and for an American multinational.
Choosing to leave that path meant placing my passion at the center of my life — and I haven’t worked a single day since. ✨
