ABOUT ILARIA
I came to Breathwork through frustration.
As a Clinical Psychology graduate from La Sapienza in Rome, I believed deeply in the power of analysis and self-discovery — but I kept watching people go on long journeys without real change.
Something was missing.
Psychology was reaching the mind, but not the body. And I knew this personally, because I was living it myself. I was deeply connected to my heart and my mind, but almost completely disconnected from my body.
When I first tried Breathwork, it was genuinely hard. My history and my chronic migraines made deep breathing extremely uncomfortable. I would watch others around me have intense, breakthrough experiences while I struggled to find the rhythm.
But even through the discomfort, I could feel it — Breathwork was a doorway. To the unconscious. To the body's innate wisdom. To something verbal therapy alone couldn't reach.
I kept going, because I was learning to listen to my body and to process emotions through it. And one day, something shifted.
The breakthrough was so profound that my migraines disappeared.
That's when I understood: Breathwork doesn't just change how you think about yourself. It changes your state.
Since then, I've spent over a decade deepening this work — studying for five years and getting certified in Integrative Breathing under master teacher Jessica Dibb, weaving in Integral Coaching, the Enneagram, and Gurdjieff's teachings on presence.
In the last years I've worked with over 500 CEOs and leaders through retreats in New York and across the US for YPO and Hampton, alongside 1:1 sessions, private groups, and anyone ready for deep inner work.
This work has changed my life. I'd be honored to explore what it might do for yours.
