My Journey To Creating Grounded Living
SEPTEMBER 1995
Leaving For An Adventure of a Lifetime
At the age of 21, I embarked on an unplanned adventure to teach English in Sicily for 7 months. Not speaking the language, I dove in straight away and before I knew it, 7 months turned into 7 incredible years of intense living and beautiful discovery of the world's most intense and vibrant culture.


SEPTEMBER 1996
Starting An Intense Freelance Journey
Rather than settle for a day-to-day job, I decided to start my own freelance business teaching English to individuals, and at companies, state schools, and the university. I also became an expert on local culture and the history of the Island. All the while, I worked crazy intense hours and had few healthy outlets for stress relief - leading to bouts of depression, anxiety, and eventually an eating disorder.
APRIL 2009
A Wakeup Call From My Body
The years of intense living in my 20s took their toll, and my body decided to give me a strong wake-up call. I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. It was the last thing I expected and the news hit home hard. I was in shock and extremely worried about what the diagnosis would mean for me and my baby. As I soon discovered it meant a very stressful pregnancy with numerous check-ups, continual blood tests, a strict diet, and a daily blood sugar level diary.


MAY 2009
Taking Control Of My Body, Health, & Mind
Determined to not let the diagnosis of my medical condition control my life and happiness, I started studying everything I could get my hands on about stress management, energy transformation, neuroscience, nutrition, optimal health and wellbeing, habit formation, and neurobiology. I created numerous changes to my lifestyle, diet, habits, coping mechanisms, and underlying beliefs.
SEPTEMBER 2013
My Own Personal Search for Meaning
As my marriage started to deteriorate, I began to do intense work on myself. As I started to do my own personal work, I realized my partner and I had already grown apart. I had two young children to look after. In addition to that, the company I was working for had lost their big contract to a rival firm, leaving my job as one of the positions almost certain to be axed. By the end of 2016, we mutually decided to end our marriage and chart our own paths in life, while cooperating fully in raising our children together.


FEBRUARY 2017
Neuroscience, Mindfulness & Professional Coaching
In the midst of re-creating my life, I finally worked up the courage to pursue my long-held desire to retrain and start my career as a coach to serve others with the life lessons I learned working on myself. During this time, I landed an opportunity to teach at a well-known Business School in Italy. In this position, I was asked to write an internal training manual about Coaching & Neuroscience. Researching and writing this manual launched me into my coaching journey.
MARCH 2018
Launching Grounded Living Coaching
Based on my research for the Training Manual on NeuroScience & Coaching, I decided to launch my own coaching business, focusing on helping ambitious entrepreneurs, leaders, and high achievers fulfill their highest potential through helping them focus on becoming more grounded, present, and fulfilled. The method I developed turned into the Grounded Living to T.H.R.I.V.E. program and the Grounded Living online community.


FEBRUARY 2020
From COVID Crisis To Opportunity
The COVID Epidemic first struck outside of China in Italy, launching the country into a full-blown economic and existential crisis, which then spread across Europe and the world. During this period, I decided to turn the crisis into an opportunity to build and support many in the Grounded Living Community with mindfulness & coaching.
