“My path with holistic practices began over 30 years ago when I first met and became a student of Master Franco Mescola, head of the Centro Ricerche Tai Chi (CRT) Italy, where I began learning the art of Qigong and Taijiquan…”

As a disciple I followed Master Franco Mescola’s teachings, contributing to the development of the Tai Chi Research Centre and the school of Metodo Biospirali where I became a senior instructor.

Over the years, as my inner world transformed and I experienced the benefits of this in my everyday life, my passion for opening the path to others for health, abundance and spiritual growth developed.

I have dedicated my heart and soul to embodying the essence of Qigong, Metodo Biospirali, Taijiquan, 108 Yang style, sabre, long stick, tui shou, applications, chi’nà and much more for personal growth; embracing healing and martial arts through the teachings of various international masters including Grandmaster Mantak Chia.

From my ongoing training with Grandmaster Mantak Chia and the Tao Garden community, I have earned the titles of Senior 1 Instructor and Holistic Operator of the Universal Healing Tao System, and Italian Coordinator and Organiser.

In 2018 I founded Biotaolife. In collaboration with experienced practitioners, we provide teachings and training empowering you to connect to your inner potential. I am also the founder and director of the Biospirals Method Training School UK; the creator of Junior Tao Chi, a programme for school children; and co-founder of Nuova Tao Italy, an association dedicated to the growth of the Italian UHT community. I continue to travel extensively cultivating my passion and sharing my life path as a coach and holistic therapist and I am available for events tailored to individual needs.
