"Knowledge is a rumour
until it lives in a body"
Who I am
& what moves me
Trainer, facilitator, artivist, mover and learning designer, you name it.
Italian heart raised next to Milan.
With a BA in Fine Arts (Brera Academy), experience in location set-up & event organisation, and over 8 years working in educational and artistic settings, I'm a learning enthusiast.
​
Aiming to connect people more to themselves and each other, I've been travelling all over Europe to grow in this field.​​​​
Then I moved country.
In the past two years, I've been designing and co-facilitating programs for personal growth, collaborating with Olde Vechte Foundation through coaching, context-based learning, somatics and outdoor teambuilding.
​​
I also designed Root of Joy (community weekend) and co-organised the first CI silent retreat in the Netherlands.
Currently based in the Netherlands.
Background
I've spent years learning from various professionals and doing the work myself.
I trained and worked as a somatic trainer at Olde Vechte Foundation (Netherlands), training & coaching centre for personal development.
My foundation is a BA in Fine Arts from Brera Academy where my thesis explored the role of imagination from childhood to adulthood.
How do I work?
​​Love that you’re asking.
​
I believe there's no strategy sustainable over time without a deeper inner work that tackles the root causes of self-sabotage and integrates new behaviours and core beliefs. I move at the intersection of various disciplines and give space to both emotions and practical action.
