My name is Domenico Scotti di Carlo, I was born in Naples and I have been continuously dedicated to theatre for 26 years. I have explored four fundamental areas in my life: education, training, theatre and writing. These disciplines have intertwined around the word *'emotions'*, which represents the essential nourishment for my soul. In my theatre career, I have played different roles: student, actor, director and writer. I have had the honour of working with numerous directors and masters, from whom I have learnt the infinite facets of this extraordinary world. I have explored a wide range of experiences, taking part in courses on Greek theatre, seminars on Feydeau, in-depth studies on the theatre of Aristophanes and Shakespeare, through to Scarpetta and De Filippo. I have directed shows and conducted theatre workshops for children, teenagers and adults, proposing theatre as a tool to explore ourselves in every detail. In my course, we will focus on the expression of creativity and personal development, working to improve communication, social skills and self-confidence. There will be no shortage of play, fun and light-heartedness, but above all we will focus on the desire to build sharing and integration.

In Synthesis

After graduating as a primary school teacher in 1985, I continued my studies at the University of Fribourg and in 1989 I obtained my diploma as a teacher specialising in children with difficulties. I worked for about ten years as a teacher with handicapped children at special schools; this first work experience was a stimulus to further my studies and in 1996 I graduated in curative pedagogy and clinical psychology; I also trained specifically for autistic persons with whom I worked for three years. During my first pregnancy, I became interested in natural therapies by attending numerous seminars out of personal interest and discovered Aromatherapy and Floritherapy. The great enthusiasm for these disciplines and the support of my family encouraged me to undertake training as a complementary therapist and naturopath, obtaining a diploma in Reflexology in 2005 and passing the Cantonal Complementary Therapist exam in February 2006. With these foundations, I began the path of therapeutic accompaniment and the helping relationship with great enthusiasm and passion; I continued in parallel with my training as a masseur at the medical-technical high school in Trevano in 2007 and obtained a diploma in Naturopathy in 2009. Alongside my professional training, I followed a path of knowledge and personal and spiritual growth with various Masters, in particular the Metamedicina® path with Claudia Rainville, obtaining a certificate as consultant and animator of seminars in Metamendicina. Since 2018, I have been involved in the dissemination of Metamedicine and the training of counsellors for Switzerland and French-speaking countries. The Joy and Gratitude that accompany me every day have made my life better and with great enthusiasm and passion I offer my accompaniment to those who would like to walk a part of their life path with me.

My name is Ornella Mariani, I am 46 years old and I am a Psychologist and Psychotherapist. I graduated in Psychology in 1999 and have been devoting myself to people with all my heart ever since. Ever since I was a child, I unconsciously played the 'role of psychologist', supporting anyone I met in difficulty. I deeply loved this vocation, not yet knowing that it would become my profession. I believe that the greatest gift we can give ourselves is to find our *"safe place "*: a nest, a safe place where we can be free to find ourselves, to discover what it really means to be ourselves and to accept ourselves for who we are. In this space, you can feel the warmth of a familiar guide who accompanies and supports you on your journey into the soul. I attended the Postgraduate School in *Clinical Community Psychology and Integrated Humanistic Psychotherapy* at ASPIC (Association for the Psychological Development of the Individual and the Community), delving into the topics of attachment systems. Subsequently, I explored Psycho-Corporeal Analysis, attending the two-year (2013-2014) of the *School of Specialization in Psychotherapy of the Italian Society of Reichian Analysis*. In my experience, I have understood the fundamental importance of connecting with our inner child and primary attachment figures. I believe that only by repairing primary relationships can one live a serene and connected life, both with the world and with one's partner. I am in continuous training at the Villaggio Globale in Bagni di Lucca, a centre dedicated to awareness, psychosomatics and personal growth. Here, I obtained a Master's degree in Holistic Psychosomatics. For over a decade, I have been collaborating with Andrea Pagani by successfully leading *individual group therapy groups*. When I discovered the world of EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), I fell in love with it. I completed the Externship Course and Advanced Core Skill Training in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy, becoming an ICEEFT Certified Therapist. I am deeply inspired by the revolutionary work of Sue Johnson, who has transformed individual and couples therapy in a momentous way. Since 2019, I have been leading *Hold Me Tight* workshops dedicated to couples, receiving wonderful feedback and great personal satisfaction. I love connection, believe in the value of networking and am constantly striving to improve myself to always offer the best to the people I follow.

I graduated in Psychology from the University of Padua and later specialised in Relational Psychotherapy at the Italian Institute of Relational Psychotherapy in Rome. Today I work as a Psychologist and Psychotherapist with a Relational Systemic orientation, with a particular passion for couple and family relationships. I live and work in Milan, a city I love for its endless cultural and professional opportunities. As a freelancer, I help young adults, couples and families find balance, serenity and well-being. I offer a safe space where we can express what we often struggle to say to ourselves and others. I firmly believe that questioning oneself is an act of great courage, which is why I have a deep respect for those who choose to embark on a path of change. Alongside my clinical work, I deal with Legal Psychology. I am a Consultant for the Court of Milan (Section IX - Family) and work as a Party Consultant (CTP) in high conflict cases, with a particular focus on ensuring the well-being of the minors involved. I have devised a supervising project in the legal field for Altrapsicologia and I am developing a new project on intervision in couples therapy, a field I am very passionate about. I am 47 years old, have a partner and a 4-year-old son, who are my source of strength and inspiration in a complex and constantly changing professional world. I am an energetic and straightforward person, characteristics that allow me to face challenges with determination and to grow continuously, even in a context of uncertainty. For me, therapy is a place of encounter with our fragilities, a space from which we can start again to take care of ourselves and live more authentically.
