More than 5,000 years ago, India gave birth to Ayurveda - a traditional medicinal system named after the Sanskrit words "ayus" (life) and "veda" (knowledge or science). This holistic approach to medicine focuses on the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and spirit. Ayurveda aims at achieving and maintaining good health by using natural and organic remedies such as herbs, minerals, and plant-based ingredients instead of simply treating the symptoms of the disease. Individualized, personalized care takes center stage with Ayurvedic medicine, as it takes into account each person's constitution or "dosha." Even now, Ayurveda is still widely practiced in India and is gaining recognition worldwide as people continue to seek natural, holistic forms of healthcare.

I’m originally from Italy but now reside in London where I work as a holistic practitioner. From a young age, I’ve had a strong interest in natural healing methods which only grew stronger when I developed back pain as a result of my scoliosis.
During my teenage years, I wore a brace to prevent my scoliosis from worsening, which was helpful but I was advised against participating in physical activity unless it was specific to scoliosis. As a result, I limited myself to walking, swimming, and physical education classes at school.
Later in life, I began experiencing significant problems with my back and searched for ways to manage my condition. This led me to start learning yoga, and as I continued practicing, my interest in natural medicine and health grew.
As I personally experienced the benefits of holistic medicine, my passion for exploring its potential to improve people’s lives only intensified. Over the past few decades, I’ve specialized in various areas, including:
* Yoga and Ayurvedic Yoga Therapy.
* Qigong
* Ayurvedic Herbal Medicine
* Sound Healing
* Thai Massage
* Vedic Astrology
* Reiki Energy Healing

Yoga therapy is a wellness practice that incorporates physical postures, breathing exercises, relaxation techniques, and meditation with the goal of restoring balance to the physical, emotional, and mental states of individuals experiencing health challenges. Rather than just managing symptoms, yoga therapy seeks to address the root cause of physical, emotional, and psychological afflictions. In combination with other treatments, yoga therapy is used effectively to treat numerous conditions, including stress-related disorders, chronic pain, insomnia, depression, and anxiety. Yoga therapy programs are customized to meet the unique requirements of each individual, with consideration given to their physical abilities, medical history, and personal objectives. The practice can be carried out at home or in a studio and may include guidance on lifestyle changes and nutritional support to optimize recovery. Yoga therapy is a powerful wellness approach that is becoming more popular among healthcare professionals and the public as a whole. The approach has been shown to boost overall health and well-being.
Reiki distance healing is a form of energy healing that is performed remotely, without the practitioner and recipient being in the same physical location. It is based on the concept that energy is not limited by time or space and can therefore be transmitted over long distances. During a Reiki distance healing session, the recipient may be sitting or lying down in a comfortable position while the practitioner sends healing energy to them. This can be done through various techniques, such as visualization or the use of a surrogate item, like a photo or personal item. The recipient may feel sensations of warmth, coolness, tingling, or relaxation during a Reiki distance healing session. It is said to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual healing by removing energy blocks, balancing the body's energy, and promoting natural healing processes. Reiki distance healing can be used to address a wide range of health issues and promote overall well-being. It is gaining popularity as people continue to seek alternative and complementary therapies to support their physical, emotional, and spiritual health.
You can choose between two main options regarding my services: Monthly subscriptions, which offer continuous support, and individual "services" that can be purchased as needed. For instance, you can click on the "Services" tab at the top right of this page to access Ayurvedic consultation and other options. After selecting your preferred service, you can navigate to the scheduling and payment pages by clicking on "sign up." Monthly subscriptions are perfect for services that require regular and consistent support, including distance healing and holistic support. If you want to, you can even complement subscription services with occasional one-off purchases.
Regrettably, refunds for services are not available since, in the past, some individuals have taken advantage of this option. When you schedule a session with me, you are reserving a specific time slot that could otherwise be utilized by someone else. Therefore, you must choose a time that you can attend and stick to it. In the event that you need to reschedule, please try to notify me 24 hours before the scheduled time. Should you miss a session without prior notice, I offer one complimentary no-show; however, the service fee is forfeited after two missed appointments, except in case of emergency. Should I encounter an emergency that results in me missing a session without prior notice; I will make it up to you by arranging for an additional complimentary session. I appreciate your acknowledgment and respect for my time, as well as yours. Let us work together for the benefit of success in the services offered.
