MASSAGE, MOVEMENT and MEDIATION

I am a dancer at heart, so movement is for me the most direct form of art and communication. touch guides me in relating to myself and to the world.

born in Italy in 1994, I crossed many disciplines, countries and languages before rooting in the Netherlands. I have an academic background in political science and international studies, and an embodiment background in contemporary and partner dances. I currently study Human Movement at Hidden Body, Amsterdam.

I am particularly interested in bringing strength and softness into the same equation, mixing yin and yang into my own body and the way I touch.

some of the values that guide my explorations are empathy, connection and play.

about in touch

in 2022 I met Emma twice by accident in Amsterdam and discovered a shared obsession for touch-based practices. what brought us together to create in touch was a strong wish to share the power of touch and bodywork in a common space where movement, well-being, and play coexist. in 2024 Emma decided to focus on her practice in Paris, and I continue the journey of touch-based awareness and bodywork on my own (we still manage to inspire each other a few times a year!).
