I grew up in Rome, Italy in a German-Italian family and lived and worked in several countries, I began my professional life as an international television journalist and producer.

A degree in Anthroppology and having worked across cultures and meeting people from many different backgrounds gives me an enduring curiosity about the complexity of human experience and the many ways we search for meaning and belonging.

After a busy and urban life in London, New York and Rome I moved to my husband’s farm in rural America and my life moved more deeply toward contemplative and spiritual work.

For decades, alongside raising my son, I studied and practiced Yoga, Meditation and Tibetan Buddhism, and have taught thousands of students through classes, retreats, workshops and longer training programs in the Yoga studio I founded and directed for 20 years.

I trained Yoga teachers and mindfulness facilitators, and have spent much of my adult life accompanying people through personal growth, spiritual inquiry and significant life transitions.

Together with my husband an three dogs I moved to Mexico in 2023 and Astrology became the central focus of my work, a path that started in 1992 when I discovered my first astrology book in a small bookstore in London .

My approach brings together psychological, evolutionary and traditional astrology with a lifelong spiritual practice. I see the birth chart not as a fixed destiny, but as a map of the soul — a way of understanding our gifts, challenges, recurring patterns and the deeper meaning of the seasons we are asked to live through.

My spiritual life has also been deeply influenced by the wisdom traditions of the ancient world, particularly the sacred feminine, goddess traditions and the spiritual cosmologies of ancient civilizations. These teachings continue to shape the way I understand the relationship between the visible and invisible worlds.

I have trained as a death doula and more recently as a Pet Death Doula.

This work took on a new dimension when I lost my beloved and young dog dog after a month long illness.

Being present and in deep communication with him during his struggles and ultimate death opened a new chapter in my life.

This experience brought into focus how profound the bond between a dog and a human being can be — even after death and how little support there often is for dog guardians and their dogs on a more spiritual level and at the end of a dog’s life.

At present I am continuing my training in animal communication as another way of deepening my understanding of the relationship between humans and the animals who share our lives and I support dog guardians and their dogs as a Pet Death Doula.

Today, the two main strands of my work — astrological guidance and support for dogs & their guardians — may appear different, but to me they arise from the same place of deep listening and deep care for all sentient beings.

In 2024 my first poetry book was published by Balboa press.You can read more about it below.
