Questions
How did The Integrative Approach come to life?
The Integrative Approach was first conceptualised many years ago when I started noticing a strong link between muscle tension and emotional events within myself. Soon after, I realised that my clients experienced similar difficulties.
Somatised stress was adding a considerable amount of tension that worsened any pre-existing issues.
My observations organically gave birth to a dynamic fusion of therapy techniques and remedial movements. The results were astounding across the board. My clients became more at ease with themselves and life in general. That was the birth of The Integrative Approach.
You can explore my clients' testimonials here.
What should you expect in a T.I.A. session?
During our first session I will gather valueable information about your personal history, and together we'l identify the main triggers that underline your concerns.
This will be our guide, that will shape our future sessions. We'll update and adjust it as we move through the work so that it stays true to your needs.
Every subsequent session will be unique and shaped around your requirements, as they evolve over time. We'll use a wide array of tools to complement your journey and support the therapeutic experience. We'll always work in a safe and non-judgmental space, filled with sensitivity and empathy, so we can discuss anything you wish to bring forward.
With me by your side you are in expert hands to achieve your goals!
I am not ready/ don’t want to go into therapy.
Is The Integrative Approach therapy?
Not necessarily; I use a lot of therapy techniques in my method. However, if you're not ready to delve into your past, it will not compromise the quality of the process or the results.

The Integrative Approach is a comprehensive mind-body system that addresses stress in a unique way. It's a dynamic process, largely depending on who you are and what you need.
To help you clarify what may be the best way forward, I offer a free initial call. It's the best way to discover if you'd benefit more from psychotherapy or The Integrative Approach.
Is The Integrative Approach like a work out?
No it isn’t. In The Integrative Approach I use a vast array of different protocols from my pilates, movement & breathwork background in order to address the physical components of stress as they manifest uniquely in you.
The possibilities are endless really, but it all starts with your commitment to yourself and to your own well-being.
Stress is a big hurdle we all face and it takes for you to show up for yourself in order to understand, learn, overcome, and, eventually grow through The Integrative Approach.
How long will it take me to stop feeling stressed?
As much as I’d love to answer that, I can’t.
Stress and the way you respond to it is deeply personal and part of your story, making it impossible for me to predict how long it will take and give you a timeframe for that.
I happen to be against extravagant claims that aim to wow. I prefer to let the results speak for themselves. The truth is that most people feel a difference from the first session because a lot of things become clear for them. After that, we simply continue our fantastic work, collaboratively.
I need you to pour into this too - reciprocation of effort is key.
How can I be sure that The Integrative Approach is what I need right now?
The short answer is: You don't have to be sure!
That's why I offer a free capsule call to give us a chance to talk. In this way, we can identify together if therapy, pilates or The Integrative Approach will benefit you more.
All you need to keep in mind before we chat is that psychotherapy is talking therapy, pilates is healthy movement if you feel you need to re-align your body, and The Integrative Approach targets your stress both on a body level and in the mind.
As for the rest, we can explore them during our call.
Can I do a trial session of The Integrative Approach? I'm not sure it's for me..
I wish I could do that, but it's not possible.
The Integrative Approach is a full system that works as a whole and is shaped differently for each individual. It is not an “a la carte” or “one-off” situation. In a trial session we wouldn’t even begin to scratch the surface.
Remember, The Integrative Approach requires commitment from you; commitment to yourself and showing up to do the work. And that is never a trial run. This is another reason why I offer a free capsule call, so we can understand if we fit well, and to answer any questions you may have.
But once we start, be ready.

P.S. It’s totally ok if you are not ready. Because if you are not, the work will not happen as it should. However, if you are not ready, ask yourself….
What is holding you back really?
