Hi

I am Chiara!

Originally from Italy, I am based in south east London where I run my physical practice as well as a Virtual Studio which provides much support and company to old and new friends around the world.

For over a decade, I have been dedicating my time to help others achieve their wellbeing goals, supporting individuals through injury, surgery & cancer rehabilitation. As a mother myself I am most passionate in accompanying women during Pregnancy and the Postnatal period, integrating my offerings with meditation and mindfulness elements to fully enhance your physical and mental wellbeing. 

My Story

I had an appreciation for movement for as long as I can remember, which led me to train as a professional dancer, and later on as a Pilates teacher. Having been a dancer for most of my life I understood first-hand the importance of having a healthy body, and saw the potential in using my experience to enable others to cultivate their own physical strength and flexibility. Since qualifying, I have been continuing my professional development and offered Pilates classes both in UK and abroad. 

 

Particularly informed by my teaching experience at a buddhist monastery in France, it became clear to me that “a thoughtful way of moving can also inspire a mindful way of living”. So I soon begun encouraging relaxation and awareness through movement, and complemented my knowledge with meditation and mindfulness practices. As my curiosity grew bigger, I turned my attention also towards Oriental medicine and found in Seiki Shiatsu the holistic approach I was looking for. Since then, I have combined these elements with Pilates, and gave life to a more integrated wellbeing experience.

As 2020 lockdown was announced, I too found myself having to adapt to a new reality. Yet, I saw this as an opportunity to put into practice 10 years of research and experience as mind-body wellness specialist, and at a time when I felt it was much needed. As a way to show solidarity and offer wider support during the pandemic, I started streaming my own online classes and opened a Virtual Studio.

 

My classes are naturally influenced by my dance background, integrating flow, elegance and precision, accompanying the journey of many, from beginners to more experienced practitioners.
