My professional trajectory was
ignited by a passion to serve communities beyond Europe. This led me to pursue
a Bachelor of Arts in Social Anthropology from the London School of
Economics, followed by a Master of Philosophy in Social Psychology from the
University of Cambridge. For over 15 years, I dedicated myself to
international humanitarian work across diverse regions and organisations including
UNESCO, the German and the Canadian Cooperation Service and for 12 Years the
Jacobs Foundation. During this time, I had the privilege of
connecting with individuals from varied cultures and backgrounds. It was a
profound experience to assist NGO partners in creating tangible impact and
guiding them towards measurable results. In 2018 I co-founded the NGO, Momento Swiss, which I
serve as president and trainer.
Driven by a desire to be more
directly involved in personal growth journeys, I transitioned into roles as a
yoga and mindfulness teacher, holistic counselor, and coach. I am dedicated to
empowering individuals in achieving greater mental, emotional and physical well-being,
as well as discovering their higher purpose.
Professionally, I hold
certifications as a RYT® 500 yoga teacher and mindfulness teacher, obtained
through esteemed programs including the Greater Good Science Center's Mindfulness
Meditation Teacher Certification Program (MMTCP) with mentors Jack
Kornfield and Tara Brach. Furthermore, I have completed training in health
coaching through the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy and Healversity's
Epigenetics Coaching Program. Currently, I am furthering my expertise with
advanced studies in systemic counseling at the University of Applied
Sciences in Zurich.
The deepest sources of my joy and my
learning are my “live-in Zen masters” – my 10-year-old twins –, my supportive
husband, my loving family, and the invaluable connections forged with inspiring
friends and clients. Additionally, the serene landscapes of Switzerland's
lakeside and the expansive horizons of Italy and Greece's oceans profoundly
contribute to my experience of interbeing and loving awareness.
