About the Host
I design and facilitate workshops, seminars and individual sessions that integrate psychology-informed approaches, yoga, contemplative practices, embodied awareness, art and creative methodologies. My work focuses on developing practical competencies that support self-awareness, emotional intelligence, cognitive flexibility, resilience and effective interpersonal communication. Each programme is experiential, evidence-informed and tailored to the specific needs of the participants, providing practical tools that can be applied in both personal and professional contexts.
Examples of workshops and sessions include:
• Emotional Regulation for Better Decision-Making
• Thinking About Thinking: Developing Metacognitive Awareness
• Psychological Flexibility: Navigating Change and Uncertainty
• Navigating Life Transitions, Identity and Change
• Integrating Rational, Emotional and Somatic Intelligence
• The Inner Compass: Values, Identity and Authentic Decision-Making
• Building Resilience: Understanding Stress and Developing Adaptive Strategies
• Regulate, Reconnect, Restore: Practical Nervous System Skills
• Embodied Intelligence: Integrating Mind, Body and Emotions
• Expressive Arts for Emotional Awareness and Personal Growth
• Creative Flow: Art for Unlocking Curiosity and Self-Expression
Sessions can be held indoors or outdoors and are suitable for retreats, festivals, wellness events, community groups and corporate well-being programmes. I also work with individual clients.
Over the past few years I have lived and collaborated across Italy, Germany and Sri Lanka, integrating different cultural perspectives and approaches to well-being into my work. My aim is to create authentic and inclusive experiences that inspire personal growth and meaningful human connection. I am a Vipassana meditation practitioner and I am committed to cultivating presence and a balanced mind in my personal and professional life.
