It’s an argument that women really need to hear, and one that will do a world of good for anyone who knows they have a penchant for perfectionism.
The quest for perfection is often a source of stress, frustration and disappointment.
I’m a SlowLife Coach based in Florence Italy, sharing my philosophy of slowness in Tuscany and throughout the world.
Through in person and online Experiences and Retreats, I support my clients to understand their capacity for slowness and how to incorporate this in every daylife.
Your SlowLife Coaching appointment begins with a session of SlowLife Yoga to relax first body and then mind; from here we identify your deepest needs, understand what really matters and develop strategies to achieve this in the context of slowness and quiet luxury. The session is completely personalised to you and your needs.

In SlowLife Coaching I often find a common area of difficulty is around our relationship with nutrition and for many people this is one of comfort and imbalance rather than health and enjoyment. If this is an area of interest for you, in a focused Nutrition Coaching session we’ll explore your nutrition relationship and develop strategies to regain balance, health and enjoyment.

SlowLife Experiences
Immerse yourself in an inspiring moment of SlowLife in a space curated personally just for you or your group.
We usually associate the term “luxury “ with material abundance, physical external things… and not always in a positive sense. But luxury is not only that. With Quiet Luxury there is a feeling of being deeply satisfied and perfectly connected to our inner self… a feeling we cultivate from the simple yet most powerful pleasures in our lives.
SlowLife is Quiet Luxury is about using the principles of slowness to integrate quiet luxury into everyday life, it emphasizes the importance of slowing down and enjoying the simple pleasures of life and is about creating a more intentional and fulfilling life that brings joy and fulfillment.
In our time together I’ll create a space of quiet luxury for us to identify what this means for you and how to cultivate it in your daily life.
For this purpose I’ve developed two unique and complementary approaches: SlowLife Coaching and SlowLife Yoga.
What is the true meaning of eating together?
I personally believe that eating together “really” means waiting for the other person, or other people in front of one, or beside one, before starting to eat.
It isn’t just a question of good behaviour, it’s much more than that.
It’s more a question of awareness, of realizing that in a few moments we will be sharing something with people whom, usually, we care about.
When cherry tomatoes have something to tell you
The other evening I had some friends for dinner and was preparing a recipe with cherry tomatoes. I opened the box (I hadn’t had time to go to the greengrocer’s) and saw that several of the tomatoes had an “ugly face”. They were full of little black marks.
I pulled a face and said “Let’s wash these little tomatoes well…” and at the very moment what came to my mind were images of hands with dirty nails that pick the tomatoes, backs of hands wiping drippy noses, in brief, a horror film…
