(note: RCST stands for Registered Cranio-Sacral Therapist)


I am originally Italian. In 2001 I left Milan and moved to England and I currently live in Newcastle upon Tyne. I had an interest in Complementary Therapies for as long as I can remember and over 10 years ago I decided to take a more proactive approach and qualify in a range of therapies.

I began training in Shiatsu Massage in Dec.96 in Milan (Italy) where I qualified after 3 year training with Franco Bottalo (founder of Shiatsu-Xin College in Milan) in June 1999.

I am a qualified Reiki practitioner since May 1997 (1st Level) and February 2001 (2nd Level)

In June 2008 I have completed the foundation training in Cranio-Sacral Therapy at the CCST (College of Cranio-Sacral Therapy) in London.

I discovered the wonderful subtlety and power of Craniosacral in the middle part of my life, building upon the experience derived from cultivating, over the past five years, my dedication to daily Ashtanga yoga practice and pranayama supported by a vibrant living raw food diet.

I regularly attend yoga workshops with international teachers, in particular Tim Miller, Nancy Gilgoff, Danny Paradise, Matthew Sweeney, Sri Dharma Mittra, Yogacharya V. Venkatesha.

I believe in the following core values which support my holistic practice and my daily life:
