I am a creative and dynamic consultant, explorer of dynamics in the body-mind relationship, trainer, yoga teacher, trekking instructor, communication advisor.
I initiate and participate in projects, opportunities, networks.
I love communication, man’s gift of ‘being social’ and affecting reality through openness and confrontation.
I have been in charge of projects in local, national and European areas working in the field and training as a project manager.
I am interested in ‘staying connected’ to reality and ‘unleashing’ my creative capacity in projects, initiatives and events that carry within them seeds of sustainability and change, in protection of the environment and our inner well-being.
I have always felt that the body is a master of sensitivity and awareness, as has been transmitted in sapiential traditions for centuries.
This ‘feeling’ has accompanied my research in exploring the body-mind relationship by highlighting its inseparable and mutual influence on the state of well-being or ill-being.
I encountered autogenic training, relaxation and mindfulness techniques at a younger age, yoga at a more adult age, bioenergetics, and still focusing: an approach and method that enhances contact with one’s inner landscape.
YOGA and MEDITATION
I became a yoga teacher over time allowing this path to increasingly engage and illuminate my life.
I qualified as a CSEN – CONI yoga instructor.
I qualified as a yogawellness – yogatherapy operator at the end of a two-year master’s degree organized by the University of Parma, Sarva Yoga International and the sponsorship of the Italian Yoga Federation and the Indian Ministry of Yoga and Ayurveda.
In yoga practice I bring what I am, the gentle and nonjudgmental listening developed in the different paths and cultivated day after day and the care of the tools that facilitate the prevention and management of the main discomforts of our time such as anxiety, stress and related symptoms.
The ways taken to date complement and translate into one ‘path’ and have profoundly altered my approach to design, enriching the idea, workshop, training that it is, of attention and care to awareness and those tools that can support it for individual and collective well-being.
Awareness and prayer are as much a part of my day as the water needed to wet the earth and make a seed sprout.
I encountered mindfulness according to the protocols of J. Kabat-Zinn and deepened the path, which is still ongoing, through meeting with the Mindfulness Project Association and in particular Massimo Gusmano, with whom I lead experiential training workshops that you can find on this page.
I met and practiced vipassana meditation according to the Theravada tradition and the teachings of Ajahn Chan and his disciples. I trained in MPA- Deep Meditation and Self-Knowledge by M. Ballester.
In yoga I have met distinguished teachers including Antonia Tronti and Axel Bayer and two great teachers: Dr. Bhole (experiential yoga) and Antonio Nuzzo.
I am part of the spiritual family Friends of the Desert, which grew out of the meditative fervor and experience of Pablo d’Ors and his teacher F. Jalics.
This path has gathered and channeled toward ‘the center’ all previous experiences. I am in charge, together with others, of expanding the Italian network of meditators, coordinating its activities in Northern Italy.
In the journey of Life many questions and meanings are revealed, and the intimate contact with the sacredness of life pushed me to attend the path in: Spiritual Assistant to the end of life and serious illness.
To date, I am a volunteer in the hospice of ASL 4 Chiavarese thanks to the Gigi Ghirotti Foundation and I am a volunteer in the Chiavari Diocesan Caritas.
OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES
I am passionate about SPORTS especially the outdoor ones where I immerse myself in regenerating nature.
Walking is a real panacea to recover more human rhythms, slow down and return to an approach that discerns ‘being’ from ‘doing’ and ‘doing’ from ‘getting’. I have briefly collected the most significant experiences here:

The outdoor activities I offer as NATURE WALKING YOGA integrate passions, skills and abilities acquired over time and in relationship with the Great Mother that is Nature.
I have happily qualified as a TREKKING INSTRUCTOR CSEN – CONI and I accompany on trails people who prefer walking at a slow and breathed rithm, with care to ‘inner listening’ that deeply transposes the re-generative capacity of Nature.
I live in a beautiful area that is the eastern Tigullio that overlooks the sea between Portofino and Sestri Levante and has behind it the wonderful valleys of the Aveto Park. I set out to enhance it with the proposal you can find at the link: https://www.naturewalkingyoga.com/en/nature-walking-yoga-en/
I am a member of the CONSORZIO OSPITALITA’ DIFFUSA UNA MONTAGNA DI ACCOGLIENZA NEL PARCO, which works to enhance the territory of the Aveto, Sturla, and Graveglia valleys through the Subjects that operate there.
