About me

FROM PROJECT ENGINEER TO HOLISTIC PRACTICE

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.

A Journey of Wellness and Transformation

In 2009, while working in the field of development cooperation, I was introduced to my first yoga class by a wise housemate who insisted it would do me good — and she was right.

I began practicing Hatha yoga in the Sivananda tradition and, inspired by my time living in Southeast Asia, naturally integrated Buddhist meditation into my daily life. Early morning practices became my anchor before busy days at the office.

Three years later, after returning to Europe, I chose to leave the corporate world to fully dedicate myself to deepening my yoga practice. I spent six transformative months in a yoga ashram, followed by several years alternating between freelance summers in Sardinia and immersive winters studying and practicing in India, Bali, and Malaysia.

Healing Arts: Massage, Reiki, and Somatic Work

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 awareness with the wisdom of yoga and the therapeutic power of massage. This fusion has become my own unique method of supporting holistic healing — inviting release, presence, and reconnection with oneself.

Energy Work and Pranic Healing

In 2019, I deepened my work on the subtle body through Pranic Healing, learning to clear energetic blockages that physical modalities alone could not reach. Today, I help clients unlock their healing potential, improve their lives, and foster a greater connection with their soul and inner essence.

From Project Management to Purpose

Before dedicating my life to wellness, I lived in eight different countries, working as a researcher for the European Commission, the field of development cooperation, and an American multinational corporation.

In choosing to leave that career path, I centered my life around what I am truly passionate about — and I haven't worked a single day since. ✨
