I'm glad you found your way here
This page is an invitation to know me — not my credentials, not my method, but the woman behind the work. Because the most important thing I can tell you is this: everything I offer, I have lived first.
Welcome
I'm Ilaria
I'm a somatic and emotional coach, a guide for women moving through the thresholds that change everything.
I work at the intersection of the body, the nervous system, and the emotions. Not because it's a trend, but because it's where I found my own way back — through one of the hardest seasons of my life.
What I know for certain: your body has never stopped speaking to you. Your emotions have never stopped trying to guide you. You were just never taught to listen — and that's not your fault. It's what I'm here to change.

My journey
FROM THE SEA TO HERE
I was born in Italy, a sensitive child who grew up by the sea, deeply connected to nature, movement, and story. Yoga found me at 13 and never really left — it became the thread I returned to again and again through every season of life.
I moved abroad, built a family with three boys, and spent over a decade as an HR leader in corporate Switzerland — sitting in leadership meetings, navigating change, and quietly learning how organisations and human beings actually work under pressure.
And then 2021 arrived.
A profound personal transition — marked by loss, grief, and the kind of change you don't choose — brought me through what I can only describe as a dark night of the soul. It was the most painful and the most clarifying experience of my life. My body held it all before my mind could make sense of any of it.
What brought me through was not strategy or willpower. It was learning to listen — to my body, to my grief, to the anger I had been taught to smooth over. Through embodied movement, emotional alchemy, and the slow work of becoming my own anchor, I found my way back to myself.
That experience is the foundation of everything I teach.
Today I live with more ease, more truth, and more aliveness than I knew was available to me. And I am here to walk with you through yours.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM WORKING WITH ME
An approach rooted in the body
I draw on somatic movement (including Mana Movement), emotional alchemy, and Co-Active coaching — and over time, I've come to understand that transformation moves through three distinct thresholds.
First, a return to yourself — back into your body, your breath, your baseline truth. Then, the alchemy — learning to work with your emotions rather than around them, letting grief and anger become compass points rather than emergencies. And finally, embodied choice — making decisions, taking up space, and leading your life from a place that is genuinely yours.
These three thresholds are the architecture of my signature programme, Become Your Own Pillar. But they also describe the natural movement of any real change — and they quietly underpin everything I do, in every container I hold.
