I trained as a singer. I still make music, and I know from the inside what it feels like when your voice simply won’t come out. I’ve also spent years in the theatre wings, in dressing rooms, beside those who stand in the spotlight even on their worst days – because they chose this beautiful, demanding profession. That’s where I found my true calling: I provide professional, evidence-based, empathetic psychological support to musicians.

I specialise in mental coaching, developing psychological skills for performance careers, and working with music performance anxiety.

Music was never abstract for me. I studied classical singing, volunteered at opera houses, worked at an Italian classical music festival, and spent years assisting opera singers – in dressing rooms, at rehearsals, before and after performances. I still sing, and if any instrument finds its way into my hands, I’ll try that too.

Performance and pressure are familiar to me in another way too: my grandmother was a three-time Olympian and bronze medallist. The mindset of elite sport has been a natural part of my life since childhood – and it’s exactly what guides my work with musicians.

I hold a Master’s degree in Psychology, specialising in neuropsychology – because I believe that what happens in the consulting room or the rehearsal room should be grounded in science. The training didn’t end with the diploma: I continuously develop my skills, because the field evolves, and I want to evolve with it.
