Why "La Fiorentina"?
The name was born from a deep bond with my roots, but over time, it transformed into a symbol of rebirth.
Florentia has historically been a "name of good omen," derived from the Latin verb florere: to flourish. When I decided to leave behind the life that no longer belonged to me and move to Valencia, I felt that this name no longer just indicated where I came from, but who I was becoming.
In Valencia, I flourished again.
The nickname came about spontaneously: "The girl from Florence has arrived; La Fiorentina!" In that expression, I recognized myself: I was no longer just a girl fleeing from societal expectations, but a woman blossoming into her own truth.
"La Fiorentina Experience" is, therefore, the story of this continuous blooming. It is an invitation to do the same: to take care of yourself, to nourish your body and soul, and to finally grant yourself the freedom to flourish.
The fall and the rebirth
I have done everything in my life, and then, I got lost. I lost myself because I no longer recognized who I was, neither mentally nor physically. That happy balance was gone, and suddenly, I had no idea what to do with my future.
When I started to 're-love' myself, the first thing I worked on was my body. That is why today I offer culinary experiences intertwined with Yoga practice and much more: to rediscover and share that deep connection with ourselves that I had been missing.
La Fiorentina Experience
I moved to Valencia (my second home) where I lived for years: it was there that La Fiorentina Experience was born. Along this journey, yoga evolved from being a background presence into an essential, daily part of my life.
I decided to create experiences where authentic cuisine intertwines with yoga practice, recreating the atmosphere of an Italian family through mindful nutrition, cooking classes, birthday cakes, Sunday brunches, and the pizza kits that were born during the COVID era.
In 2021, I made this passion official by becoming a certified Yoga Teacher, thanks to my mentors: Tess Obermeier, Guido Baligioni (Yoga Garage Firenze), and Josh Kramer.
Over the years, I have hosted events and taught in various yoga studios as well as outdoors, between the beach and the Turia gardens, building a deep bond with my students.
Today, I share these experiences between the Chianti region and Spain, distinguishing myself through my unique method and personality, living life with enthusiasm.
My dream, my Dharma
Authenticity and Awareness
My dream is to guide you toward deep well-being, helping you listen to your body and accept yourself for who you truly are. I wish to give you the courage to follow your ideals and your dreams, freeing yourself from society’s conditioning to live your true path with strength and happiness. I practice and teach to help us stay connected with the curious and grateful eyes of our inner child, learning to let go of the ego and judgment, both toward ourselves and others. I am certain that when we choose to be faithful to our essence, new and wonderful paths open up.
I am grateful!
I am so happy to live and share my greatest passions. A special thank you goes to my family: to my grandparents and my father; to the women of my family, from my great-grandmother to my mother (a chef who managed a restaurant with her partner) it's truly a case of "growing up with your hands in the dough."
To my sister, my ohana, and to the true friends who have stayed by my side and have believed, and still believe, in me. And to my students and the people who live these experiences with me: beautiful souls who allow me to keep my inner flame burning.
A radiant, free, curious, and creative soul
I am a curious and creative soul, always ready for new experiences and eager to meet as many people as possible. After having done a bit of everything in life, I decided to listen to myself and dedicate my time to my greatest passions, staying true to my values. I am a nature lover and a citizen of the world: after living intensely in London and Valencia, I carry the desire to explore in my heart. I have always traveled, often without a plan, with nothing more than a one-way ticket. One of the places that remains closest to my heart is Japan.
Beyond Yoga (discover the theory of Yoga), I love Pilates, running, and dancing. I pour my whole self and my love into everything I do, seeking well-being, balance, and mindfulness through movement, meditation, breathwork, dance, music, creativity, connection with nature, and conscious nutrition.
To live this life to the fullest.
