Welcome to my sacred space
Nice to Meet you, I’m Ginevra
“Yoga empowered me to more intimately connect to my body, trust my intuition, and soften into my heart instead of my head. I truly believe in yoga’s ability to guide us throughout our journey. Whatever you are moving through at the moment, yoga will meet you where you are. ”
My Journey
Growing up I was always a sensitive and intuitive child, with an active imagination, and a love for being in the water. Throughout the years I learned to mask and repress my emotions in order to fit in, and became used to disassociating, numbing myself and not expressing my needs. As I grew up I learned that intellectualising with safer than connecting with my body or feelings, this became both a blessing in some ways and a curse in other ways.
During my teenage years into my early twenties I felt deeply unhappy and unfulfilled, I experienced anxiety and depression, and my perfectionism left me in a cycle of overperforming and burnout. My harsh inner critic meant I never felt like I was enough, I attached my worthiness to what I achieved or other people’s opinions of me, harshly judged my body, and disconnected from my inner wisdom and authenticity, which led to a lot of pain. I’ve turned to yoga, therapy and spirituality throughout extremely challenging times and they’ve been my anchors on the path to reclaiming my authentic self. I started Psychotherapy before I turned twenty and slowly began to unravel the conditioning and patterns that I’d clung to for most of my life, and while this felt uncomfortable, it opened the door for me to explore my authentic self.
My dad passed away when I was 23 and when I was 25 I ended up in hospital with what they originally thought was a stroke and ended up as a mystery illness. After seeing different specialists, navigating multiple mistakes made by the NHS, and having numerous tests I was told that I had ME/CFS and Dysautonomia. I began to discover how everything was interlinked with symptoms which also related to my IBS, hypermobility and chronic pain. I believe that the word recovery can hold different meanings to different people, while I have hope that my symptoms may improve, I have also sat with and accepted the possibility that I may stay the same or that my condition may decline further. The embodied understanding of the complexity, nuance and layered experience of living with a chronic illness helps me meet clients with greater sensitivity to the ways illness can shape not only the body, but identity, relationships, career and everyday life.
“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”
About Me
I’m so grateful that you found this space.
Beyond my passion for yoga and psychology, I’m a lover of animals. This is a picture of my cat Talia, she’s an international girly and was rescued from Bahrain, she has the quirkiest personality with a lot of spice, and she’s an excellent teacher on what it looks like to uphold our boundaries unapologetically. I’m also interested in skincare, cooking (my dad was a chef, owning multiple Italian restaurants and he truly had a gift), curling up with a good book and iced matcha, being in nature and art in all forms. I love watching Interior Design Masters after a long day.
Within my spiritual practice I have a deep reverence for divination (working mostly with tarot and oracle), crafting ritual, working with the elements and nature, honouring my ancestral lineage, and flowing alongside cycles and seasons. Mysticism has been life changing for me when incorporated with experiential approaches in therapy, and I feel we could all use a little more whimsy in our lives.
As you might have already guessed from my name, I’m half-Italian on my dad’s side, but I grew up in the UK.
I’m a yoga teacher and yoga therapy student who embraces the expanse where science and mysticism intertwine. I hold sacred space for individuals to feel safe exploring their physical, mental, emotional, energetic, and spiritual realms, strengthening the body-mind connection. I’m a believer that coming back to our true selves means embracing and integrating all parts of the self, including those we have rejected, repressed or disowned (shadow/subconscious). By bringing these parts of our ourselves into awareness, we can prevent our behaviours and decisions from unknowingly being driven by these learned thoughts or patterns. It gives us a conscious choice, and this is where our power lies.
I believe that we can only support others to the depths that we have gone ourselves. Over many years I’ve been supported by numerous women including a Psychotherapist and Therapeutic Shamanic Practitioner for 6+ years, Yoga Therapist, Yin Yoga Teachers and a Family Constellations Therapist. Having spent time meeting my own inner world, patterns and responses, I bring a commitment to self-awareness, noticing what belongs to me, so that there’s more space for what belongs to you.
