Who am I?

Ever since I was little, I have been fascinated. By humans, their inner worlds, the invisible connections that weave us together without our knowledge into a single, vibrant, colorful web of humanity, both one and many.

By love, too.

The love that is this vibrant web. The love that manifests itself when the first buds bloom and dazzle us with their beauty. The love that breaks and opens our hearts when we see a photo of a little boy's shoe floating off the Mediterranean coast. And also, the love that binds us, ties us, twists us, tears us apart, and lifts us up: the love we experience in relationships. Love in the name of which atrocities are committed (“crimes of passion”), love as an outlet for all our neuroses. And love as the alchemical crucible of all our transmutations, of all our rebirths. Love as a companion in growth. Love that is cozy, and love that shakes us up. The kind that helps us grow.

I experienced in my body the immense abyss of violence inflicted gratuitously and methodically, suffering inflicted in the most tender, most intimate places, the most porous to love. And through these same torn, battered, defiled spaces within me, I found my way back to tranquility, and also to power. My own. I found my way back to love—for myself, for others, for life.

With a love for the crevices of light whose existence are revealed by poetry, trained in mindfulness coaching, tantra guidance, energetic and sexual cleansing, knowledgeable about the mechanisms of trauma and as an art therapist, I now offer creative, vertical, and gentle support for people who want to reconnect with their bodies and their ability to open up to a loving presence to themselves, others, and life.
