I was surrounded by beautiful landscapes, fresh air and a simple way of life close to nature.

My grandparents had many fruit trees, olive groves, vegetable gardens, and even sheep, dairy cows and horses. That rural childhood helped me develop a deep appreciation for nature and for the small, essential things in life. Since I was a child I have also been very shy and often found it difficult to express myself with words, so art soon became my language, while nature and animals became my inspiration and comfort.

 

At the age of 26 I moved to England for the first time to work and study. During that period I began reading many books on personal growth and discovered, for the first time, the world of holistic therapies.

 

After four years I had to return to Italy, where I started attending seminars on natural, holistic and bio-energetic healing practices. It was during this time that I began to understand more deeply the connection between physical, mental and emotional wellbeing, and became increasingly interested in the different ways holistic approaches could support a person’s overall sense of balance. … I decided to become a professional therapist, and began studying to gain the qualifications that would allow me to return to England to work in this field.

 

In 2009 I qualified as a Massage Therapist in Milan and opened my own massage therapy studio while completing a three-year course in Naturopathy. My studies included Natural Nutrition, Herbal and Natural Remedies, Bach Flower Therapy, Traditional Mediterranean and Chinese Medicine, Bio-Harmonic Home Design, and holistic treatments such as Reiki, Reflexology and Shiatsu.

 

In 2011 I completed my training and qualified as a professional Naturopath. Alongside my private practice, I also collaborated with local natural health shops, working both as a Naturopathic Consultant and Holistic Therapist.

 

In 2017, at the age of 45, I finally moved back to London. Since then, I have worked with well-known massage booking agencies as a Mobile Massage Therapist, mainly across Mayfair, Chelsea and Fulham, including treatments for high-profile VIP clients in luxury hotels, spas and private residences. My work has rewarded me with excellent feedback and reviews from clients and, later, the opportunity to take on the responsibility of assessing new therapists for one of the agencies I work with.

 

 

My interest and faith in natural and holistic health have never faded, always encouraging me to continue researching and studying to deepen my knowledge and understanding. This is why, in 2026, I took the opportunity to enrol on a BSc degree in Clinical Herbalism, returning in greater depth to some of the subjects that first fascinated me during my earlier naturopathic training, this time with a much stronger focus on herbal medicine and nutrition within clinical practice.

 

Away from studies and work, I love walking through parks, visiting castles and gardens, photographing trees and flowers, cooking, creating things with my hands … and, perhaps inevitably, writing notes for my future books on wellness and other thought-provoking subjects.

 

 

Natural and holistic wellness has become a lasting passion in my life, … and I hope that one day you might share that passion too.
