Hi, this is letizia
I will guide you home, in a journey of liberation, connection, alignment and authenticity.
I studied with several teachers, attended courses and retreats, red books, met shamans and journeyed with plant medicine. But my real school is life and the challenges we are called to face every morning getting up, working, dealing with our partner, pets, kids, colleagues and family.
My main tools are my body, my mind and a deck of Tarot of Marseille. Our practice doesn’t have to be complicated: just breathing, meditating and going back to our body we can open up a new world inside and outside you.
I am in a personal journey of reconnecting with my true essence and full potential every day deeper and deeper and I want to encourage people do the same.
If you want to know how I got here and my personal journey read below.
"Let the inner god that is in each one of us speak. The temple is your body, and the priest is your heart: it is from here that every awareness must begin."
- Alejandro Jodorowsky
Since I remember I always loved dancing. In every picture as a kid I was moving, jumping or stretching my legs as in this one (I am the one on the left).
I was singing and dancing in front of the mirror and setting up little shows with my sister.
I don't know when and how it happened, but my mind took over and I lost connection with my body and my light.
My life became very serious: I studied and started working very early and always worked very hard. In my late twenties my life looked pretty much set up: I was living in Florence, where I was born and raised, with my boyfriend in a nice apartment, I liked my job and we were talking about having kids. But was it really what I wanted?
Long story short one day of July 2015 after 7 years together I found out he was cheating on me and I found myself reading months of messages with his lover. It was the most painful thing that ever happened to me and my entire world collapsed at that very moment. I was almost 28 and that pain opened up very deep wounds and a spiral of fears and loss.
Deep inside I always knew for some reason I couldn't trust him and I felt something bad was happening. Maybe I also made it happen because I started feeling constricted in my life: I was working my ass out and doing my best to be the perfect girlfriend but I wasn't taking care of myself, nourishing my soul, bringing joy and pleasure in my life and somehow I was conscious of this frustration, even if I wasn't ready to accept it and go through what was meant to be.
I was very much in love and I would never have been brave enough to break that relationship up and leave everything behind as I eventually did.
When this happened I was already doing yoga and some zen meditations and those, together with Thich Naht Tahn books, literally saved my life and helped me put my shit together.
I stayed in Florence, desperately looking for love and a man that could fill in that sense of emptiness inside me. Of course, since I was looking for someone to save me, I kept bumping into the wrong guys and it felt so hard and frustrating because was always the same script that makes me feel unworthy and abandoned.
I went through very dark periods, and even if I never lost my spirit, I was doing my best to show I was doing great and having a lot of fun, I was feeling stuck and unable to move forward. I felt lonely and miserable, not worthy of being chosen and loved, like something was wrong with me.
I felt something was running against my happiness, while now I know that I needed to change myself from inside in order to change the exterior reality I was experiencing.
In 2016 during a holiday in Sicily I met Nino, a cute dog that looks like a cross between a wolf and a fox and we have been together since then.
During these years I’ve got in touch with different spiritual practices and they made me discover a sense of freedom, liberation, being limitless, perfect and connected that I’ve never experienced before.
In 2017 I spent a few months in New York and it was a life changing experience. I came back to Florence changed and pretty much one year later I moved to Amsterdam, where I lived for three years.
After years of being single I finally stopped looking for something outside me, learned how to be enough for myself and integrate within me what I was looking for in a partner.
“let go who you think you should be to make space to who you really are”
While going through all this I was working as a producer in digital production studios, in Florence first and then in Amsterdam. I had a pretty quick and successful career and work helped me a lot in my dark periods to get out of my spirals of dark thoughts, feelings and fears. But after working for my dream studio I got to the point where I realized that it wasn't really what I wanted.
I was 31 and I had an amazing contract and salary but I was also burned out by the pressure, the amount of work and stress, always dealing with a lot of problems on my desk and tight deadlines to meet. I was feeling drained, tired with no motivation. So at the end of 2019 I decided to quit to figure out who I really am and what my heart wants, besides what other people expect from me.
It was a very big leap for a person like me, who always needed to plan everything to finally step into the unknown and fully trust life. And you know what? I think it was exactly what I needed, because just one month after talking with my boss about my decision I met my current partner, after being single for almost five years. We moved together two months later, when we got stuck home together because of the most unexpected pandemic, but this is another story.
Just a few years ago it would have been unbelievable to be where I am now, living the life I am living every day and offering my work helping people find that shift they need to step into their power and embrace who they really are.
My life became a surrender experiment to a greater will and intelligence, following the flow and trusting that everything always goes as it's meant to.
I feel so much gratitude and acceptance for everything that happened in my life; I embrace and thank all the pain that really showed me who I am and my full potential and set me free. And most of all I thank myself for not giving up and keep walking in beauty, my friends, sisters and family for always being there and all the teachers I met during my path that always manifested in the exact moment and showed me up the infinite layers and possibilities we are made from.
Now I dance, consciously breathe, laugh, sing and shine my light every single day. The process is not that linear and there is always highs and lows, discomfort, stretches and contractions, but I know I am going back to my home and that little seed that came to this world full of trust and potential.
