Credentials
and Training

My approach is rooted in training in Yoga, Psychology and Somatic Experiencing. 

I view yoga in essential sense, as a set of practices that develop awareness, consciousness and connection. This includes bodywork, breathwork, visualisation, meditation and other practices that support conscious presence and nervous system regulation. 

My work is also influenced by Buddhist philosophy, particularly the cultivation of mindfulness and compassionate awareness. 

This integrative perspective supports a deeper connection between body, mind and nervous system, allowing for greater balance, resilience, self awareness and connection. 

Somatic Therapist

Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a body-oriented therapeutic approach designed to gently support the resolution of post-traumatic stress and other trauma-related conditions. Rather than focusing solely on what happened, this approach recognizes that trauma is held in the nervous system as an imprint of past experiences.
When the nervous system becomes overwhelmed, it can remain in a state of hyperactivation or dysregulation, affecting both physical and emotional well-being. Somatic Experiencing (SE) works to restore balance by supporting the body’s innate capacity to heal.
Trauma may arise from a wide range of experiences, including:
accidents or physical injury, invasive medical procedures, misdiagnosis, or receiving difficult health news, sexual or physical assault, psychological or emotional abuse, neglect or humiliation, war and collective violence, social or racial discrimination and injustice, oppression, control, harassment, or chronic devaluation, natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, fires, or storms, loss and major life transitions (grief, unemployment, relocation, retirement, children leaving home), falls or sudden physical shocks, animal bites, burns, or other external injuries, birth trauma, abandonment, or rejection, ongoing stressors such as persistent fear, conflict, or chronic shame.
Through a gentle, attuned process, Somatic Experiencing (SE) supports us in reconnecting with our bodies, releasing stored survival responses, and rediscovering a sense of safety, regulation, and resilience.


Yoga can serve as a steady anchor in daily life, offering a space to pause, breathe, and return to ourselves amid the busyness of the day. Through mindful movement, breath, and awareness, it helps regulate the nervous system, bringing a sense of balance and grounding. More than just a physical practice, yoga becomes a way to reconnect with the body, cultivate presence, and navigate life with greater clarity, resilience, and ease.


Psychology can serve as a bridge between our inner world and lived experience, helping us make sense of our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors with greater clarity and compassion. It connects insight with transformation, offering tools to understand patterns, process experiences, and relate more consciously to ourselves and others. Through this bridge, we can move from awareness to integration, creating space for healing, growth, and more intentional ways of being.


Meditation tools are simple supports that help us settle the mind and connect with the present moment. These can include the breath, body awareness, guided audio practices, gentle movement, or objects like a cushion, candle, or mala beads. Rather than being essential, they serve as anchors—offering structure, focus, and a sense of ease as we develop a regular practice. Over time help us, these tools can help cultivate greater calm, clarity, and awareness in everyday life.


Buddhist philosophy offers a path of deep inquiry into the nature of the mind, suffering, and liberation. It invites a gentle turning inward, cultivating awareness, compassion, and wisdom through practices such as mindfulness and ethical living. Rather than providing fixed answers, it guides us to observe reality as it is, helping us to loosen attachment, soften reactivity, and awaken a more spacious, balanced way of being. Over time, this path supports a profound sense of inner freedom and connection to all life.


Turning toward pain in a safe and regulated way, rather than avoiding it, can become a powerful doorway to expanding our capacity for life. When we meet discomfort with curiosity and compassion, we begin to loosen the patterns of resistance that often keep us stuck. In gently allowing difficult sensations and emotions to be felt, the nervous system learns that it can move through them, not be overwhelmed by them. Over time, this builds resilience, deepens self-trust, and opens space for greater aliveness, connection, and emotional range.


Marrying intuitive living with logic creates a balanced and grounded way of moving through life. Intuition offers a felt sense—subtle, embodied guidance that arises from experience and inner knowing—while logic provides structure, clarity, and discernment. When these two work together, decisions become both aligned and thoughtful, rooted in wisdom as well as reason. This integration allows us to navigate complexity with greater confidence, honoring both the heart’s quiet voice and the mind’s capacity to make sense of the world.


In a world that moves fast and often feels overwhelming, many of us forget to treat ourselves—and others—with kindness. Loving-kindness practice is a simple, powerful way to reconnect with compassion in everyday life.

Loving-kindness is the practice of intentionally cultivating goodwill, care, and compassion. It begins with ourselves and gradually extends to others—people we love, people we struggle with, and even strangers.


Spirituality lives in the quiet spaces we often overlook—the pause between breaths, the stillness beneath our thoughts, the gentle unfolding of things we cannot control. It is not something to chase or define, but something to soften into. In moments of uncertainty, it becomes trust—the subtle willingness to let life move without resistance. And in moments of waiting, it becomes patience—not as endurance, but as a calm presence with what is. There is a rhythm beneath everything, unseen yet deeply felt, reminding us that not everything needs to be forced, and not everything needs to be understood.


Personal roots

My path is inspired by my grandfather, who survived the trauma of war. In many ways, Yoga helped him endure those experiences and find inner steadiness.

His quiet resilience and strength left a deep impression on me and continue to inspire my interest in practices that open us to healing and awareness.

I brought together two of my former students, and together we co-founded Yoga Shala Monaco, a space dedicated to shared practice, growth, and community.

I also Initiated the Monaco Yoga Solstice Day, an annual community event celebrating yoga and the summer solstice which I organised and nurtured for 10 years. 

I am an accredited teacher with the
