About me

I was born in Austria over 50 years ago and grew up in Merano (South Tyrol – Italy), in a close-knit family. Early in life, I cultivated my passion for art and music, honing skills in dance, singing, and playing the violin. In the '80s, my career took me on work-related journeys across Europe and Australia, fostering a profound connection with diverse cultures and their enigmatic allure. The '90s marked a significant period when I delved into studies encompassing art, education, psychology, and counseling. This academic foundation, combined with my yoga practice, led me to become a certified Mindfulness meditation teacher. Concurrently, I embraced motherhood, raising two beautiful daughters, and ventured into entrepreneurship, organizing wellness-focused events. In my view, life achieves its fullest beauty when lived in balance. My approach is rooted in empowering individuals to embody this equilibrium. I firmly believe that balance serves as a guiding map, facilitating a profound reconnection with one's inner core. Through the integration of Mindfulness and Counseling, I assist others in achieving a life characterized by serenity and fulfillment.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CounsellingRecommended for those who want to talk through their emotional challenges with a professional in a safe, supportive environment.
In my counseling practice, I employ a person-centered and empathetic approach, creating a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to explore their thoughts and emotions. Through active listening and insightful questioning, I assist clients in gaining clarity, resolving challenges, and fostering self-discovery. My counseling techniques are rooted in evidence-based practices, ensuring a supportive environment for personal growth and healing. Psychosynthesis forms the cornerstone of my holistic approach. This integrative psychological model incorporates the exploration of spiritual aspects, fostering self-awareness and inner harmony. By integrating the conscious and subconscious elements of the psyche, Psychosynthesis enables individuals to explore their true potential and align their actions with their core values. Through guided exercises and introspective techniques, clients embark on a transformative journey towards self-realization and personal fulfillment. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is a central component of my methodology. Rooted in mindfulness meditation and yoga, MBSR equips individuals with effective tools to manage stress, enhance focus, and cultivate emotional resilience. Through guided meditation sessions and mindfulness practices, clients learn to be present in the moment, promoting mental clarity and emotional well-being. MBSR techniques are tailored to individual needs, empowering clients to navigate life's challenges with calmness and equanimity. I am one of the inaugural instructors for MCP (Mindful Compassionate Parenting) in Italy, a protocol dedicated to fostering mindful and compassionate parenting practices. The emphasis of MCP is on cultivating awareness in the parent-child relationship and create a positive and supportive family dynamic. Additionally, I am in the process of becoming a certified Kinesiologist using the Huber method, with completion expected in the coming months in Austria (Huber-Kinesiologie).
