About myself

I was born in Aviano at the end of the '70s, on April 1st. I still vividly contain my inner child, the teenager, the young woman taking her first steps in the working world and getting a mortgage, but also the mother I was in some other life, the sprightly old lady I will become one day, and who knows how many other things.
Growing up in Aviano immediately showed me the inconsistency of what we call reality: in the '80s, old ladies still dressed in black with headscarves coexisted with their American peers in sneakers and punk hairstyles.
I graduated with honors in Foreign Languages and Literatures, but it took me a while to choose a profession. I wasn't eager to settle down; on the contrary, I liked testing myself in different situations and reinventing myself each time, surprising myself with how fun it was, whether I was a makeup artist or an entertainer, whether I was in an administrative office or an account in an advertising agency. I really enjoyed seeing from the inside how others' lives work, the different roles, because I hadn't found my own yet. Or maybe also because it seemed like the natural outlet for someone trained between narration and poetry, moving from era to era and voice to voice.
Then came the time to build some stability, so I entered the school system with the process of temporary contracts and the role that eventually arrives. I taught French for 10 years and then switched to English. I must say I did nothing to speed up the process of getting a permanent position: changing schools every year was tiring, but at least I still had the thrill of having to reinvent myself. It was when, for the first time, I had the same classes the following year that I realized I could reinvent everything from within. And it was because by staying put, I could be more present in the relational dynamics with the students, who were a great source of self-work for me. On one hand, I perceived my limits; on the other, I gained confidence in my potential, and it was at that point that I chose to enroll in a counseling school because I felt the need for more tools. Having an average of 15 teenagers per hour in front of me, with their needs, challenges, and energy, was my path to balance and rediscovery.
I graduated in 2017 as a systemic-transpersonal counselor and immediately started with them: a listening desk at school. Even though counseling had already entered my teaching from the beginning, giving more meaning to what I was doing and integrating seemingly disconnected worlds. I speak in the past, but one foot is still there: partly for the mortgage, partly because the students remain a wonderful resource for me. Unfortunately, however, the public school system suffocates me more and more, and I hope to leave it as soon as possible; for now, I endure part-time. Many say it, and it's true that the bureaucratization of teaching is increasing to the point of absurdity, bringing to a frenzy the madness of thinking that this profession can be broken down and its parts cataloged, like a large data archive, when the data concern wonderful human beings in the most changeable and important phase of their lives.
Perhaps to cope with a kind of personal battle against this breakdown, in parallel to all this, since 2013, I have started studying a whole series of things ranging from electromagnetic frequencies to different spiritual currents, in a constant search for integration. It is in this perspective that Tarot cards are present in my work even when I don't use them directly: taking the Tarot deck in hand allowed me to learn an analogical way of connecting knowledge, which gradually allowed me to orient myself better and better in that world we probably all live spontaneously as children. More recently, these same methods are leading me to explore the world of astrology, which I will soon want to delve into.
I owe a lot to my Masters, some known directly, others from afar: I feel secure in what I do thanks to the constant perception of their presence, as if I were an extension of them. An extension that, however, has its own characteristics and is free to act because it goes in the same direction.
Having reached this point in my journey, ready to put this material online to take my independent path, I feel free to be who I am and thank my entire history.
