About me

IMG_8179 (1)_edited_edited_edited.jpg

Personal growth is, at its core, about setting our inner creative process free: observing, feeling, discovering traces and empty spaces, and filling them with meaning until they feel reintegrated and reinhabited. This is the journey I want to take you on.

My Story

I graduated as Coach Counsellor in 2024 from the Accademie voor Coaching en Counselling in the Netherlands, where I'm living and working for 10 years with my husband Massimiliano and my two children.


My first education has been in Business Administration, followed by a significant work experience in Audit, Accounting, Finance, and Project Controlling.
My work in business contexts and transactional based jobs felt for long time lacking of meaning and fulfillment.

 

Over the years, especially after my move from Italy to the Netherlands and the birth of my children, I began paying increasing attention to key needs such as vitality and purpose, eventually choosing to engage more deeply, both experientially and theoretically, with the themes of psychology, neurobiology, mindfulness, and how to best support others.

Today, I work professionally as a Coach and Counsellor while also maintaining my corporate role as a Project Controller. Each day, I commit to exploring a deeper integration between these roles and to nurturing a meaningful connection with all the important areas of my life.

Overall, I feel I’ve achieved a deep personal transformation, from a fixed mindset to a vibrant, intentional, and congruent way of living.


In my role as Coach and Counsellor, I place fundamental importance on being mindful about embodied feelings and emotions, along with observing and uncovering images and metaphors produced spontaneously by the mind. 

Embracing a constructivist and experiential based approach, I welcome your personal story with compassion and genuine openness, encouraging to be curious and aware about your psychosomatic dynamics, as a mean to come to your own emotional truth. 

My work is supported by continuous learning in state-of-the-art humanistic and psychological paradigms, along with a pragmatic and focused approach shaped by nearly 20 years of experience within result-driven business organizations.


I live with curiosity, presence and compassion, aiming to enhance both my own life experience and the one of those I connect with.


I strive to be a steady bridge that supports your steps, and enables you to reach the opposite shore, no matter the journey you are on.

My Values

At the heart of my personal and professional journey lies a set of core values that guide the way I live, connect, and support others. They anchor me in moments of uncertainty, inspire me in moments of growth, and define how I show up in the world, both for myself and for those I accompany on their path.

Openness

Openness means to recognize the importance of our reality and his peculiar details, seeing it with unbiased eyes, accept and embrace what is there, out of a curious attitude for why it is there.

Passion

By following your energy flow, you can make your choices more intentional, and eventually you can boost your vitality and find more meaning. Passion lies right under this alignment of body and mind.

Balance

Balance is about being able to regain the neutral spot even in extreme circumstances. But also, to stay flexible towards changes and different perspectives, recognizing and valuing the wide range of capabilities that we are given. 

Contribution

Contribution is a way to connect meaningfully to the world. By offering my presence and my skills with unconditional positive regard, I establish harmony upon a pure form of giving.
