L'ESSENZIALE

I was born and grew up in Sicily and I always carry in my heart the inestimable fullness of colours and scents, the warmth of the sun and the people and the depth of the sea. Since I was a child I have been lucky enough to admire the majesty and strength of the olive trees that surround our house in the country and to appreciate their fruits. Today I am fortunate enough to receive some of our delicious organic family olive oil every year to make it known abroad and to allow many people to appreciate its extraordinary flavour and countless benefits.

​

My first encounter with yoga and Thai massage was during my one-year stay in Bangkok, Thailand. It was there that I found myself for the first time talking face to face with my body, listening to it and observing it. I was fascinated by the innumerable potentials that the body hides and a little frightened by the physical and mental limits that I had been afraid to recognise until then. So I decided to continue on this path of growth, which has led me over the years to deepen my practice of yoga and Thai Massage by following different masters in Thailand and Europe. In 2018 finally, after 3 years of intense training, I took the Yoga Teacher's diploma at the Free School of Hatha Yoga Hamsa of Master Maurizio Morelli. During these years of study with Morelli, what until then had been a strong passion for the practice of yoga turned into an indispensable lifestyle.

​

At the same time I also continued my training in Traditional Thai Massage, given the strong link between the practice of yoga and Thai massage, both of which are practices of deep listening to the body and important tools for restoring the mind to its natural calm. During my growth path I also approached Mindfuness, attending the MBSR (Mindful Based Stress Reduction) protocol, which provides me with further tools to deepen my meditative practice, and I also met Alexander Lowen's bioenergetics, another wonderful tool for awareness that unites body and mind. 

There are many yoga, mindfulness and bioenergetics teachers that I follow on a regular basis and I am infinitely grateful to each one of them because they enhance my personal practice and add value to my work.
