I started my heart centred journey in my 20s when my Oriental Dance teacher and Mentor Giulia Mion introduced me to the magic of Women's Circles weaved into dance practice. Dancing and sitting in circle give me so much joy!

On top of being an Oriental Dance teacher and performer, over the years I trained in the Q'ero Inka spiritual path, Western Shamanism and various kinds of Archetypical and embodiment work. I've been holding circles in Italy and in Devon since 2008, often linked to dance as a sacred practice.

I live with fibromyalgia and endometriosis and I've recently answered the call to embrace my chaotic creativy and embarked on a self healing artistic journey. After noticing the difference that art makes daily for me, I decided to weave it into my offering and I'm now training to become a facilitator of the Colours of the Soul Ritual© with Marianne Cordier.

I also have over 15 years of experience in social care, first as a social worker in Italy, then as a charity worker in the UK. This gave me confidence in holding the space for people in an inclusive and trauma informed way.

I love Italian and middle Eastern food (both cooking and eating!), getting messy with paint and a canvas, dancing and connecting with other like minded women.

I now aim at providing a heart-centred space for women to experience creativity, embodiment and connection in Devon, UK, with my signature style of Mediterranean warmth and care. I'm also launching my art into the world in Summer 2026 so that people that need its messages can find it.

How we see the world shines through our behaviour, whether we like it or not.

I'm not a perfect human. Knowing what I value is a good way to find out if my events might be a good fit for you (brace yourself, this is where I get passionate).

I value:

- KINDNESS, WARMTH, HUMOUR: I am Italian inside out and I bring my Mediterranean culture in my heart. I will hug you welcome and goodbye (if you'd like), I will smile and cry with you, I will hold the space, feed you snacks and offer tea, all while dramatically gesticulating and sometimes, I will curse, because life is hard enough. I also have a non politically correct sense of humor which I have no intention to change.

- PEACE, SAFETY and NON VIOLENCE: without "ifs" or "buts".

- SELF DETERMINATION and BODILY AUTONOMY: It's not my place to tell you what to do with your body and how to live your life. I encourage radical awareness. I encourage you to feel how things sit within yourself and your body rather than blindly trusting what others tell you.

- SISTERHOOD: I strive to make you feel as if you were between family (the good kind!). This doesn't mean forcing friendships, but encouraging you to see yourself in the struggles and enlightments of the other women even though you don't share the same life experiences. This is how we form peaceful communities
