Artist, yoga and meditation teacher

I am a visual artist, yoga and meditation teacher based in Saint Louis, MO. My art, yoga, and meditation practices are threads of the same cloth, they weave seamlessly in the fabric of my life.

I come from a family where art and music were like homemade bread, always on the table, fresh and nurturing. I have been drawing, painting and writing since I was child. Several of my artworks have appeared both in collective and solo shows in the Saint Louis region and in Italy; some have been published in literary and cultural magazines.

It was in my adult life, away from my home country, Italy, that I began to turn to mindfulness meditation and yoga as practices of self-care, healing, and embodied presence.

In 2022 I became a Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) qualified teacher through Brown University, and after that, I received my 200 hours certification as a Yoga Teacher. I am also certified in Yoga for the Cancer Patient and I am currently teaching yoga and mindful creative expression classes in and arounds Saint Louis. I love working with people of all ages.

My aim is to lead yoga, meditation, and art practitioners of all levels and abilities into their own, unique, intimate, individual spaces. There is freedom in the present moment as long as we choose to become observers of our own experiences, stay curious and open to flow like a river.
