ABOUT ME
DOLOMITIC BLOOD, GLOBAL SOUL
I live on the Dolomites, after spending 14 years living in beautiful towns and cities around the world - Langley (Canada), South Orange (US), Milan (IT), Delft (NL), Barcelona (ES), Rome (IT), Canary Islands (ES) and Valencia (ES). I love travelling, understanding different cultures and ways of living.
PASSIONATE ABOUT CREATION
I spend my working hours interacting with people, extrapolating meaningful insights and translating them into solution concepts & strategies. I love facilitating and empowering teams to implement such solutions and evolve them through time.
I am specialising as a (nature) life coach as I find the combination of the two to create Magic.
I'm imperfect, growing and evolving.
I'm creative, provocative and challenging the status quo.
I'm also compassionate and caring of people and the planet
I'm stubborn and insatiably hungry for betterment.
