About Me
WHO AM I?
I was born in Italy 50+ years ago and grew up spending a lot of time in nature as I was allergic to pollution and could not breathe properly in an urban environment.
At the age of 16, I moved to the Geneva area of Switzerland where I still reside today.
My purpose
In this new stage of my life, my goal and passion are to contribute towards others with the desire to improve their quality of life with a holistic approach, combining a healthy lifestyle, yoga and nutrition.
PROFESSIONAL LIFE
I worked for over 25 years in a multi-national environment and travelled around the world. I had the chance to collaborate with so many different people with diverse cultures, beliefs, and habits. In this very hectic period of my life, I became the mother of two beautiful children and the wife of a zen English man.
CHALLENGE
Work – life balance became a major task, juggling work with motherhood and family. I found an equilibrium, but my stress level was high and there remained very little time for myself. I started practicing yoga in my early thirties, although not regularly enough and mainly as a physical exercise.
NEW CHAPTER
The first Covid lockdown has been the trigger element to start a new chapter of my life and finally focus my energy on my passions. I have not stopped studying since then and I attended various training courses:
✤ Nutrition – Ecole de Santé de Suisse Romande (2020)
✤ Academic Medicine (Anatomy, Pathology and Physiology) – Ecole de Santé de Suisse Romande (2021)
✤ RYS 200H Yoga – Alliance Certified Teacher (2022)
✤ Hormone Yoga Therapist – Dinah Rodrigues methodology (2022)
✤ Menopause Yoga Teacher – Yoga British Wheel (2022)
✤ Menopause Coach – My Menopause Transformation by Dr. Wendy Sweet (2023)
✤ Academic Medicine (Pathology 1) – Ecole Ecole de Santé de Suisse Romande (2023)
✤ Academic medicine (Pathology 2) – Ecole de Santé de Suisse Romande (in progress)
✤ ASCA accreditation (by Summer 2024)
