My academic and professional trajectory lies at the intersection of education, embodiment, and processes of transformation. I first earned a Master degree in Educational Sciences from the University of Florence, where I developed a foundational interest in pedagogy and human development. This initial formation led me to explore more deeply the sociocultural structures underlying educational pathways, prompting me to pursue a Master’s degree in Sociology – PROGEST (Planning and Management of Social/Cultural Welfare) at the University of Milano-Bicocca.
There, I acquired a critical and systemic understanding of welfare policies, educational services, and the socio-political dynamics shaping life trajectories, especially for vulnerable populations.

Concurrently, I began working in the field of education and training with both children and adults. However, it was my encounter with the body as a site of experience, awareness, and transformation that marked a pivotal shift in my professional orientation. I began to focus on body-based well-being practices for adults and older individuals, particularly in relation to functional mobility, through modalities such as stretching, gentle exercise, and mindful movement.

A unifying thread across my work has been the exploration of bodily agency in the context of aging and care. This orientation eventually brought me to the field of medical anthropology, where I investigated the relationships among body, health, culture, and society. I completed a second Master’s degree in Medical Anthropology at the University of Milano-Bicocca, with a focus on embodied approaches to longevity, healing systems, and local biologies.

Between 2015 and 2019, I lived in London, where I carried out comparative research on the Italian and British educational systems, with an emphasis on schooling policies, pedagogical practices, and the integration of soft skills in personal development. This period broadened my intercultural perspective on education and strengthened my competencies in participatory observation, qualitative inquiry, and training design.

Since 2020, my research and practice have increasingly focused on the body, aging, and health from a biocultural and energetic standpoint. I have studied quantum biology and biofield science, disciplines that conceptualize life as a coherent vibrational phenomenon governed by subcellular energetic interactions. Within this framework, I developed Full Body Resonance (www.fullbodyresonance.com)—a method of holistic rebalancing that integrates mindful movement, vibrational breathing, energetic activation, and inner visualization to facilitate alignment between body, mind, spirit, and consciousness.

In parallel, I have taught Tai Chi to groups of adults and older individuals, not only as a meditative martial art but as a somatic practice of prevention, equilibrium, and psycho-physical resilience. For me, Tai Chi represents an embodied methodology for cultivating inner awareness, postural integrity, and sustained vitality through slow, intentional movement.

Since 2022, my work has also extended to the development of somatic practices for individuals with chronic age-related conditions, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. These interventions are grounded in non-pharmacological approaches that support embodied memory, vitality, and residual autonomy. In parallel, I am conducting an ongoing ethnographic and theoretical inquiry into the cultural and ecological dimensions of longevity, drawing on both traditional lifestyles and local knowledge (as found in Blue Zones such as Sardinia) as well as innovations in regenerative medicine, biohacking, and preventive health strategies.

Across all of these domains, my aim remains constant: to re-center the body as a source of knowledge, agency, and transformation—enabling a life that is longer, more conscious, and deeply lived.
