I have a classical and humanistic education, followed by a Diploma in Photography from the Istituto Europeo di Design in Milan. After relocating to London in the early 2000s, I completed a Master’s Degree in Fine Arts at Central St. Martins (University College London), focusing on video and sound art. I then worked in the music industry for over a decade before training in Integrative and Relational Psychotherapy with a trauma-attuned approach. Additionally, I have trained in Somatic Attachment Therapy, Psychedelic Harm Reduction and Integration (PHRI), and Integrative Psychedelic Therapies with institutions in Canada, the UK, and the USA.

I am currently undergoing advanced clinical training for the Postgraduate Diploma in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy at the Institute of Psychedelic Therapy (UK), as well as a Certificate in First Nations Indigenous Studies with the University of Alberta (Canada).

I have a strong interest in Amerindian Cosmologies—the ancestral lineages of healing through teacher plants of the Native peoples of the Americas. I learn directly and experientially from Indigenous groups, specifically the Navajo-Diné in North America and the Shipibo-Conibo of the Upper Peruvian Amazon. I have experienced Master Plant dietas as well as ceremonial use of plant teachers. While I do not practice within these traditions, I hold deep respect for the ways in which they honour the interdependence between people and the natural world.

These experiences have fostered my passion for social justice, biocultural conservation and wildlife conservation, and have prompted me to support several NGOs and charities dedicated to protecting threatened habitats in the Western Amazon and regions of Africa. Through reciprocity projects, these organisations work to combat habitat loss, deforestation, and the impact of Ayahuasca tourism on Native communities.

Having worked for several years in both individual and group settings with people from minority groups and those experiencing religious, spiritual and intergenerational trauma, I take an anti-discriminatory stance. I am committed to learning about the impact of discrimination in all its forms and examining my own biases and assumptions in the process.

I am a member of The Chacruna Institute for Psychedelic Plant Medicines, a non-profit organization based in Northern California that provides education and cultural understanding about plant medicines and promotes a bridge between the ceremonial use of sacred plants and mainstream psychedelic science. Along with Chacruna, I support the Indigenous Reciprocity Initiative of the Americas (IRI), which fosters biocultural conservation and the autonomy of Indigenous communities.

I am also a member of Modern Spirit, a non-profit organisation in Arizona dedicated to spiritual healing in modern healthcare, scientific research in epigenetics, and the study of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. Through its Reciprocity Project, the organisation offers Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy to Native Americans for issues such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD, as well post-graduate training for healthcare providers.

Along with my private practice, I belong to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (UK), and have professional memberships with The Institute of Psychedelic Therapy (UK), The OPEN Foundation (NL) and the Italian Society of Psychedelic Medicine (IT).
