About Me

Back after a looong break. 13.11.23

I'm originally from Tirana (Albania) but I grew up in (Trieste) Italy.
I have also lived in Spain, Belgium and I spent relevant time in France and UK. So, multiculturality is my first feature.
After 7 years living in Brussels, I spent 5 months in Canary Islands in 2022 and now I'm staying temporarily in Italy, preparing the next step - hopefuly leading to Tenerife.

My background includes musical studies, humanities, political sciences and international relations, personal development, holistic practices. I think I spent more time and energy trying to understand the world around me and the human being. I have explored many paths: philosophy, anthropology, psychology, religion, physics, arts, neurosciences, etc. When I had enough about western, "official" knowledge, I started learning more about holistic disciplines and oriental philosophies/religions.

I love wild nature, animals, children, traveling, singing, dancing, hiking..
and every situation or people with positive vibe and full of life. I dance Argentinian tango and I practice Yoga and meditation.

I'm an artist, teacher, ex event organizer - fluent in 5 languages -, holistic life coach, systemic constellations' and women's circle facilitator, with a background in humanities, music, dance, yoga, meditation and more than 25 years of personal research, studies, workshops and practice on personal development and holistic approaches.

PHILOSOPHY

"What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the rest of the world calls a butterfly."

"Know yourself".
