Hello and welcome!
I am a social and health psychologist with a PhD in neuroscience and cognitive science and an unending passion for mindfulness and change. But, first and foremost, I am a person like you: with experiences that have shaped me, scars that have taught me, and an inexhaustible curiosity about life. <\/p>

For the past 30 years, I have been alongside people of all ages navigating the storms of existence: stress, loss, difficult emotions. I have integrated scientific studies of Artificial Intelligence (AI), contemplative psychology, and a good dose of creativity to offer practical and profound pathways that transform pain into growth and confusion into clarity. <\/p>

Today I live in the country, surrounded by greenery and adopted animals, with a big dream: to share all that I have learned to help you regain balance and connection, with yourself and the world in this time of great change. Whether it’s a class, a meditation, alongside you on an individual path of transformation, or simply in a moment of reflection together, I am here to walk alongside you. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Who I am and why I do what I do<\/strong><\/p>

I never believed in sharp divisions. Mind and body. Science and spirituality. Human and artificial. The world is made of connections, entanglements, dialogues between opposites that are only seemingly irreconcilable. <\/p>

I am a social and health psychologist, neuroscientist, mindfulness teacher, expert in narrative medicine and storytelling, and explorer of the future of artificial intelligence. But first and foremost, I am a curious and free mind, convinced that knowledge should not be compartmentalized, but interwoven, integrated and transformed. <\/p>

For over 30 years I have worked with those going through change, loss, end of life, personal and collective transformation. I have taught at universities, written books, guided pathways to mindfulness and resilience. I have listened to stories, created tools, accompanied people to understand themselves and the changing world. <\/p>

Today I bring all this into my research on artificial intelligence and its intersection with the human mind. I think AI can be an amplifier of consciousness or a risk of alienation. It depends on how we use it and how we prepare for it. And that’s what my work is all about: helping people develop critical thinking, awareness, and tools to navigate the present and the future without getting lost. <\/p>

My approach and services offered<\/strong><\/p>

My integrated approach combines the soundness of science with the depth of contemplative practice. Through mindfulness, I help people develop greater awareness of the present moment, facilitating a deeper connection with themselves and others. <\/p>

I offer a range of services designed to meet different needs:<\/p>
