“You cannot go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.” — C.S. Lewis
This quote reflects the essence of my work and my personal journey. I believe deeply in our capacity to transform, to heal, and to reconnect with who we truly are. My mission is to support those who feel called to take this step—because in “changing the ending,” we rediscover our authentic Self.
My approach is both professional and deeply personal. Alongside my academic background, I bring my own lived experience: I am on a healing path myself, and I continue to walk it with dedication and humility. I believe that only those who have navigated stormy waters can truly accompany others through them.
After earning a degree in Law and working for nearly twenty years as a manager in a multinational company, a personal crisis led me to profoundly re-evaluate my life. This transition guided me toward becoming a Counselor and Life Coach, and toward a path aligned with meaning, authenticity, and service.
In 2016, I discovered breathwork, beginning with Rebirthing, and later deepening my practice through Holotropic Breathwork. In 2023, I completed my certification in Holotropic Breathwork and Transpersonal Psychology through Grof Transpersonal Training, the first and most credited internationally recognized program dedicated to working with expanded states of consciousness.
In my practice, I offer individual sessions of Compassionate Inquiry combined —when working in person—with Rebirthing breathwork, allowing for a multi-layered approach to healing. I also facilitate sharing and integration circles, Rebirthing group sessions and Holotropic Breathwork workshops in Italy and abroad.
In January 2026, I founded Adult Children of Alcoholics – Italy, a virtual space dedicated to supporting individuals who grew up with an alcoholic or addicted parent. This project is very close to my heart. As the daughter of an alcoholic parent, I share not only professional tools but also my personal healing experience. Within this space, I offer guidance, resources, counseling, and both individual and group recovery pathways.
Compassionate Inquiry sessions are available online or in person in my practice in Treviso (Italy).
