I work as a counsellor, trainer and facilitator in different fields: private, professional, social, educational, artistic. With individuals and families, in organisations, corporations, communities, training companies, counseling and coaching schools, drama and dance schools.
I’m dedicated to the development of self-awareness and to the processes of individual and social change and transformation, to improve the quality of daily life and the working environment, to support the liberation from limiting inner patterns and nourish individual and collective resources.
For 20 years I have had the good fortune to work using tools that I had explored for personal interest in previous decades. I have been engaged in personal development, spiritual growth practices and movement disciplines for forty years.
My approach is based on the principles of cultural anthropology, the encounter with other beings who have habits and conceptions of the world different from their own, combining theoretical knowledge with observation, listening, reflection, investigation, research, study and practice.
I have a Bachelor of Arts with a Master degree in Cultural Anthropology. I am enrolled in the Assocounseling professional register as a professional Counselor, accredited by the International Enneagram Association as a professional Enneagram teacher and by the Body-Mind Centering Association as a professional in Somatic Movement Education and in Infant Development Movement Education.
I met the Enneagram map in 2002 translating the Brazilian teacher Maisa Branco Castelo – Ma Amrit Racily – and since then I have deepened my knowledge in the United States with the Enneagram Institute as a direct student of Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson, with the Enneagram in the Narrative Tradition as a direct student of Helen Palmer, David Daniels, Peter O’Hanrahan and Terry Sarracino. I’m trained in Enneagram in Business and Coaching with the Enneagram with Ginger Lapid Bogda and in Enneamotion with Andrea Isaacs. I have also followed trainings with Claudio Naranjo, Sandra Maitri, Olivier Clousot, Tom Condon, Katerine Chernich-Fauvre, Deborah Ooten, Uranio Paes and Beatrice Chestnut.
At different times in my life, I have participated in the meetings of various Fourth Way Schools.
I am licensed by Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson to use their Insight Approach® method and teach the Enneagram Institute training program.
I have been accredited as a professional Enneagram teacher by the International Enneagram Association since 2009.
In the somatic and movement field I graduated with the Body-Mind Centering® Institute as Somatic Movement Educatore and as Infant Development Movement Educator, I also have training in Embryology with Jaap van der Wal, Expression Primitive with Herns Duplan, Bioenergetics and Body Reading (Lowen), Osho Dance Therapy and Life Moves. I’ve experience in Classical and Contemporary Dance, improvisation, dance theater and martial arts.
I also have backgrounds in Non Violent Communication, Spiral Dynamics, Sociocracy, Aura-Soma®, Neuro Linguistic Programming, Creative Problem Solving.
I approached meditation as a adolescent, initially encountering the teachings of Buddha Shakyamuni.
In 2000 I lived in Pune (India) and experienced the life of the commune, particularly deepening the themes of childhood and meditative therapies and became a sannyasin of Osho Rajneesh.
Later I met in Cyprus Maulana Sheikh Nazim al-Haqqani al-Qubrusi, I have been her disciple since 2005 and I transmit the Enneagram with his blessing.
I have taught in several European countries and have been a speaker at the International Enneagram Conferences in Brussels in 2009, in Denmark and San Francisco in 2010, in Portugal in 2014, in Sweden in 2015, in Finland in 2017, at the online Global Conference in 2021 and in Egypt in 2020 and 2022.
I presented the Enneagram as a support for Ken Wilber’s Integral Approach at the European Integral Approach Conference in Budapest in 2014.
In 2018 I published the book “Crescere con l’Enneagramma” for Armenia edizioni. I’ve written for different Italian journals.
My continuous research is oriented towards self-knowledge, self-awareness and inner transformation and is based on the vision of the Integral Approach.
I use the Enneagram map, the somatics, the experience in the field of movement disciplines and different integrative approaches such as Non-Violent Communication and meditative practices, all in a coherent integration that awakens and involves emotional intelligence, intuition and instinct in a harmonious way.
