WHO I AM
Born in 1985.
I define myself as a dynamic, curious, and unconventional thinker.
A confident and self-aware woman, both professionally and personally, I combine continuous learning with the search for new stimuli and experiences.
Aware of the current context, I contribute by supporting companies and individuals to optimize their resources and open up to new growth opportunities.
My professional journey spans several areas:
-As a Business Consultant, I develop marketing and business growth plans, subsidized finance, and European project funding;
-As a Yoga Teacher, I guide people in discovering Hatha Yoga and Prāṇāyāma techniques;
-As a Life Coach, I support those seeking to achieve personal and professional goals, fostering clarity, motivation, and autonomy while valuing their own resources and creativity.
In line with my values, my passions lead me to explore elements of mental and physical wellbeing in my free time, to travel and discover new cultures and the wildest nature, to immerse myself every evening in my reading space, to train physically with consistency and to let myself be fascinated by art in its various forms.
I also dedicate time to writing, collecting my thoughts in my blog and a digital publication, PRECIOUS IN LIFE, available online for free.
Business Consultant
I grew up in the world of services to companies.
I worked as an employee for over 15 years in marketing and communication activities in national consortia, with entrepreneurial development mindset necessary in environments where the recipients of the services offered are companies of considerable importance in the Italian panorama and the activity carried out is subject to reporting and control by regional, national and European institutions.
I was born with an economics education, which has been enriched over time by several masters and refresher courses in the fields of digital communication, journalism and mass communication, service design and project management, quality certification (ex ISO Auditor), administrative responsibility of entities D Lgs. 231/2001, internationalisation of companies, and last but not least a master's degree in europlanning and management and reporting of European projects with Venice International University
I have always had the curiosity to enter different, unusual fields, but also the consistency to dedicate myself to exploring them to understand their deeper meanings.
Today I work as a Freelancer, providing marketing and business development consultancy for companies and entrepreneurs in the fields of Sport, Psycho-physical Wellbeing, Culture, Food & Beverage, Third Sector Entities, PDO/PGI Products, Agri-food Consortia and I am approaching many others.
<<I believe in the possibility of growth of the European entrepreneurial fabric in an ever-changing global landscape, which is why I try to accompany companies on a path of national and international development, through the valorisation and optimisation of their assets, flanked by management improvement and market penetration and target attainment techniques, targeted to individual needs.>>

Coach (ICF Member)
Coaching, for me, is a practice grounded in care, trust and pragmatism: I support people in a safe space where they can reflect, choose and take concrete action to achieve their personal and professional goals.
My sessions are active and demanding: many coachees describe them as true “training sessions” that foster practical transformation, helping to put thoughts in order through powerful questions that make the path toward the goal clearer.
My training stems from a deep curiosity: after personally experiencing a coaching path as a coachee, I discovered how coaching can accelerate personal and professional growth. I trained according to the standards of the International Coaching Federation (ICF), one of the world’s largest associations of professional coaches, and I am an ICF member (ICF Italy and ICF Global). I believe in the principles of the ICF Code of Ethics - professionalism, collaboration, humanity and fairness - which are fundamental guidelines for me to practice this profession with integrity and clarity.
Today, as a Life Coach, I run structured individual programs for those who wish to break free from routine, regain motivation and clarity, define concrete goals and consolidate the autonomy needed to sustain them. My approach is reflective and pragmatic, with direct interventions when required, always aimed at valuing each person’s resources and creativity. Sessions are held exclusively online.
Continuous learning is at the heart of my work: I am deepening skills to extend my service into the corporate context as a Business Coach, structuring the study of emotional intelligence and undertaking targeted trainings in career coaching, in order to offer increasingly focused and strategic programs.
“I believe that within each of us there are unique resources that only need space to emerge, to be trained and to be used for a fulfilment more aligned with our most authentic nature.”

Yoga teacher
Yoga entered my personal experience first and then my professional one, during the Covid-19 pandemic. The sudden transition to a "more contained" social life allowed me to pay more attention to myself, leading me to slow down the frenetic daily rhythms and to dedicate time to taking care of my awareness and my breathing. Thus I began to deepen Hatha Yoga through the study and practice of this discipline independently, to then continue the study at a professional level with a Specific "Teacher Training" (RYT 250 H) Internationally recognized by Yoga Alliance International.
My training was based on three fundamental pillars:
-MOVE: Movement, proprioception, meditation, āsana, prāṇāyāma, bandha, mudrā, mantra;
-BE: Conscious lifestyle applied to everyday life, through the tradition of Yoga and interpersonal neurology;
-LEARN: Detailed learning of body practice, teaching techniques and verbal and non-verbal communication and concepts of Yoga History and Philosophy, Anatomy, Neurology and Biosystemic Psychotherapy.
Today I am a 'National Level 1 250H Yoga Instructor', recognised with a national card and diploma by CSEN and I teach classes for individuals and companies.
My training in this and other areas continues every day: I am also "Mindfulness Facilitator" and I am exploring other elements related to meditation and some traces of oriental philosophy, as well as following specific Yoga update Masters.
<<My lessons are a mix of creativity, psychophysical well-being, exercise and physical preparation, prāṇāyāma (breath control) and meditation, without judgment and in respect of one's limits>>
