My Story
From the structured world of chemistry to the dynamic realm of coaching, my journey hasn’t been easy. Originally from Italy and now based in The Netherlands, I earned a Ph.D. in Chemistry and completed a postdoc in Material Science. I spent over 15 years navigating the corporate world, honoring leadership skills, becoming an inventor, a role model, and an expert in my field. But despite these achievements and success, in time, something was missing leading to overwhelment, burnout and unfulfillment. It was a wake-up call that led me to reevaluate my priorities, teaching me the importance of a balanced life and setting the stage for my next chapter.
Transforming My Life
My own transformative experience with a coach was nothing short of a revelation. It wasn’t just about navigating life’s challenges; it was about making lasting, positive changes that impacted every facet of my life. This experience ignited a deep-seated passion within me to offer the same level of support and guidance to others. Coaching for me isn’t just a job or a title; it’s a mission that defines who I am. I’m committed to empowering individuals to overcome obstacles, achieve their wellness goals, and find a fulfilling life.
My Mission
As I reflect on my journey from a corporate chemist to coaching, I am grateful for the experiences, challenges, and choices that have shaped me into the person I am today. Each step along the way has brought me closer to reinventing myself. I transformed my pain into purpose, my weaknesses into strength, and my setbacks into empowerment. Now, I combine my scientific expertise and resilience to guide and support others reshape their lives, rediscover balance and turn obstacles into opportunities for strength, growth, and fulfillment.

Beyond Coaching: Passions that Fuel My Creativity and Balance
When I’m not coaching, I’m capturing the beauty of nature through my lens. Most of the images on this site are taken by me, reflecting my deep connection with the natural world. Nature’s simplicity is a source of inspiration, offering me a sense of space and grounding in its marvels. Photography allows me to immerse myself in its quiet power and beauty. I also collaborate with NIKON NEDERLAND, sharing my passion for photography through workshops and writing columns.Whether I’m practicing sports, enjoying a movie with my family, or dancing salsa with my wife, these activities are extensions of my philosophy on balance and well-being.

I believe that learning is a lifelong journey – one that extends far beyond formal education. My dedication to continuous growth ensures I stay at the cutting edge of health, wellness, and coaching. This commitment empowers me to offer you the most effective, evidence-based support tailored to your unique needs.
