WHO I AM

I am a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Children practitioner.

I worked as Other Drugs (AOD) Support Worker and Youth worker in different social and cultural contexts in three countries (Italy, Great Britain and Australia). Over ten years, I practised Zen meditation, helped people with psychiatric or mental disabilities find employment and feel better, supported drug users in clarifying their goals, and offered developmental direction to the youth. I use mindfulness and NLP (Neurologic-Linguistic Programming) to support youth and adults. Science becomes magic, and I use scientific practice to create a magic world. 

HOW IT WOULD BE IF...?

Immagine how it would be if your child could respond in any situation in the best possible way.

How would it be?

• If your kids could reduce their anger, fear and sadness and enter a state of control and calmness. Formulate their need in a tranquil and relaxed mindset.

• If your hyperactive children can relax, improve their concentration at school and achieve the best outcome.

• If your disorganised children can regulate and organise their internal thoughts, respond to real-life events and act excellently and appropriately.

• If your passive children increase their desire to be active, begin to engage in physical activity much more and display outstanding sports performance.

WE WILL CREATE AN ANCHOR (A gesture that will lead you to a calm state anytime you need it.), MAGIC CIRCLE (an imaginary space to maintain joy)and other special practices. 

Our body is essential to regulate our emotions. In our bodies, we feel our feelings, and if we can regulate our inner state, we fell gain more power. The same rule applies to children as well. The release of tension in the body increases relaxation and well-being.

Breathing and relieving tension are essential to regulate children's emotions, thoughts, and bodies. These encounters will help children calm their automatic emotional response and reduce and control their reactions.

All the practises are created to increase relaxation. The breath and the body will be the tool that we will use to achieve our goals. I will teach the children techniques to regulate emotions using simple body movements. Imagine how it would be if your child could respond in any situation in the best possible way.

CORE PRINCIPLE

Cultivating Resilience: Integrating Mindfulness with Exposure to Discomfort

Core Principle:

At the heart of our approach lies the idea of deliberately exposing oneself to discomfort to foster resilience and overcome obstacles. This principle asserts that by confronting discomfort head-on, individuals can cultivate mental strength, discipline, and perseverance across various domains—be it physical challenges, meditation, or intellectual pursuits.

Deliberate Exposure:

I advocate for intentional exposure to discomfort, emphasizing the proactive pursuit of challenges beyond one's comfort zone rather than merely enduring discomfort when it arises. Through meditation and other practices, individuals can systematically seek out and confront difficulties, thereby fostering growth and resilience.

Honest Acknowledgment:

Central to this philosophy is the honest acknowledgment of personal limitations and weaknesses. By recognizing vulnerabilities, individuals can strategically target efforts to overcome them, laying a solid foundation for resilience-building endeavors.

Integration with Mindfulness:

While meditation serves as a potent tool for nurturing mindfulness and emotional regulation, we underscore the importance of integrating it with deliberate exposure to discomfort. This fusion empowers children to manage emotions effectively amidst adversity, equipping them with the courage and resilience to tackle life's challenges head-on.

Conclusion:

By marrying mindfulness practices with intentional exposure to discomfort, children not only develop emotional regulation skills but also cultivate the resilience needed to navigate life's complexities with confidence and fortitude. This holistic approach lays the groundwork for empowered, resilient individuals capable of thriving in the face of adversity.

Benefits of a Mindfulness-Based Intervention upon School Entry: A Pilot Study.

Mindfulness meditation is effective at fostering the executive functioning of children, i.e., the skills that play important roles in academic performance and social-emotional well-being. Meditation practices can decrease stress, especially if someone is at risk for elevated cortisol levels, for instance, due to a stressful life event, such as starting school.

No effect was found on morning salivary cortisol levels, but the working memory capacities of girls significantly improved as a result of the intervention. A relatively short, story-based mindfulness intervention can improve the working memory capacities of first-graders; thus, it could potentially contribute to the academic performance and adaptation of children in schools.
