I am a sculptor and painter, born in the medieval city of Campobasso, central Italy, but have been living in the US for many years. I’ve studied art most of my life in Italy and in the US. Although I find enjoyment in painting, my true love and passion lies in creating sculptures. My favorite part of the sculpting process is the beginning, when the initial creativity makes the sculptures take form. It is very energizing and almost therapeutic. Art is a liberating tool.

In the mid 80s I was stung by a wasp while on vacation in Italy. I experienced an anaphylactic shock and nearly died. After that I began experiencing epileptic seizures. Over the next 3 years, I visited countless doctors and took anti-seizure medications. The side-effects of these medications were devastating to my well-being. This was a turning point for me. I refused to a prisoner of these medications for the rest of my life. I made a big change in my lifestyle and concentrated on self-healing through macrobiotic principles.
I happy to say that even though it took 4 years, I have been seizure free for more than 20 years now. My life is completely changed, because it took a different direction. I studied to become a macrobiotic counselor. I learned shiatsu massage, energy healing, and the effects that food has on the body. And over the years have helped and guided many people to regain their health.
These days my focus is on living human bodies and helping people to get well. You can read more about my story on my website www.thehealthmode.com, as well as finding a direct contact point to me, where I offer consultations to those who need personal health directions. I also wrote a book, Healing Epilepsy Naturally, that contains my journey through self-healing and offers some guidance and lessons I’ve learned over the years. In addition to some great recipes that I’ve created.
