“In the small, the great”
Federica's path to holistic health began with a bold departure from her legal career, sparked by a deep-rooted love for plants.
In 2012, in her native Italy, she enrolled in an intensive herbalism course — not just to study plants, but to, as she puts it, “fraternize with them.” Immersed in a community questioning conventional health norms, she began exploring the disconnect between mind and body ingrained in Western culture. This awakening led her toward holistic medicine, drawing her to Eastern traditions and their profound wisdom.
Her fascination with plant medicine evolved into a three-year study of Naturopathy at Scuola Ting Spazzavento, where she shifted her focus from the dominance of the mind to the coded messages of the body. After facing her own challenges with weight management, she deepened her exploration of Eastern approaches to health, completing a two-year program in Energetic Nutrition at Scuola Tao.
In 2018, Federica moved to the U.S., where she expanded her skills through Massage Therapy training and advanced studies in Oriental Medicine. She is currently pursuing a Master of Acupuncture with a specialization in Chinese herbal medicine.
Rooted in personal experience as an active, sports-loving person, Federica has endured long and frustrating struggles with weight management—battles that led to headaches, brain fog, sluggishness, and a diminished zest for life. With a healthy dose of vanity and a deep understanding of food as both the foundation of well-being and our connection to the world around us, she has chosen to center her practice on digestive health. From there, her work naturally extends to pain management, skin vitality, and graceful aging.
Guided by Chinese medicine and the cyclical nature of transformation, 2025 marks 12 years of Federica's exploration—both a milestone and a new beginning. She blends acupuncture with the power of touch and bodywork, integrating techniques like myofascial release to restore both physical and energetic balance.
For Federica, healing is about recognizing the body's deep wisdom, woven with nature's code. It’s a journey of choice, listening, trust, and attuning to the subtle guidance within.
