ilaria - from insecurity to self-worth and inner joy
June, 2025

When Ilaria first came to me, she was struggling with deep dissatisfaction and insecurity. She wanted confidence and joy, but didn’t know how to access them.

My approach

Over the course of one year of online sessions, I combined Jungian coaching, art therapy, and somatic practices to support her transformation. She learned to connect with her inner world, recognize unconscious patterns, and express emotions through creativity and embodiment.

Key insights

  • Safety in connection: Even without meeting in person, trust and depth were established.
  • Creative access to emotion: Art and symbol became pathways to self-awareness and healing.
  • Resourcing the self: Ilaria learned to support herself through difficult moments and build inner resilience.

Results

  • Restored self-esteem: She rediscovered her smile and a grounded sense of worth.
  • Emotional tools: She developed practices to move through emotions with compassion and strength.
  • Lasting impact: Her words reflect the transformation: “Each session was a chance to grow and develop kindness toward myself.”

“Thank you, Eva, for being the light that guided me toward a fuller, more fulfilling life.”

I first met Eva over eight years ago at Primal, a life-changing event where she was one of the coaches. She immediately noticed how much stress I was carrying in my body and she was absolutely right. Since then, I’ve been seeing Eva regularly for bodywork sessions, and they’ve been incredibly effective in helping me reset, release tension, and restore balance. Her work has made a huge difference in my well-being, both physically and mentally. I truly believe anyone can benefit from her sessions, especially those working in high-pressure or demanding environments. I can’t recommend her enough!

Diving into this mouthwatering experience with Eva was both deeply enjoyable and at times challenging. She skillfully supported each person’s needs around closeness and distance, connection and freedom, weaving together the physical, mental, spiritual, and timeless.

Eva held a safe, exciting space to explore new ways of connecting and serving each other at a higher level. Her deep knowledge of tantric practices and advanced bodywork made me trust her fully and embrace the experience. It became my most powerful energetic and intimate moment ever filled with gratitude.

Thank you, Eva, for an amazing, hot, and spiritual journey.

Eva has been a true support in helping me regain my balance through somatic experiencing.

I first went to her after a traumatic experience, and she kindly and patiently guided me step by step until I felt myself again.

She was so compassionate and understanding, which made me feel safe and comfortable throughout the process. Even today, I still use the techniques she taught me during difficult moments, and they continue to be effective.

She helped me learn how to listen to my body, take a step back, and process what I’m going through with more clarity and compassion.

I had the honor of receiving a session with Eva. An incredibly gifted practitioner. The release, healing and flow she brought me was quite remarkable. I have experienced quite a lot of bodyworkers, but no one with the presence, connection and care as Eva.

She was close to me every step of the way, as if she could read my mind. She stayed closely with me as I allowed more space and breath to flow through my body. 

I ended the session feeling like a giraffe! I have rarely experienced my neck and shoulders have so much space as they had just there. It touched me deeply to experience that was possible for me.

The bodywork session with Eva was unique and enlightening. At that time, I felt “stuck.” I understood many things on a rational level, yet I still didn’t feel well.

Eva is professional and highly experienced, but more than that, she has a gift. She can read the body, sense energy, and intuitively know what is needed. I felt her presence and a safe space where I was deeply seen.

Every part of my body was cared for, and I lost track of time as if in another world. My breathing opened, tension released, and by the end I felt alive and light. In the days after, I gained clarity and energy. I’ve already booked my next session. Thank you, Eva.

I first heard about Eva through a Facebook post and later met her at a retreat, where I booked a session.

I didn’t know what to expect; I’d always hidden emotions. Eva’s calm, powerful yet gentle presence put me at ease, explaining everything and creating a safe space.

As she worked, deep tensions surfaced: when she reached my jaw, I cried; during the stomach dearmouring, I released years of pain, feeling completely held.

Afterwards I felt lighter and free. Weeks later, I’m still more connected, present, and alive. I’m deeply grateful to Eva.

Working with Eva has been a beautiful and transformative journey. Her sessions combine tantric massage with myofascial energetic release, always creating a safe space to relax, breathe, and connect.

In one session with Somatic Experiencing, I could revisit a past trauma, process it step by step, and release stored tension. It was profoundly relieving.

Eva’s intuitive touch guides me into pain without overwhelming me, balancing deep work with warmth, humor, and clarity. I always leave feeling lighter, softer, and more connected. I’m deeply grateful for the safe space she creates.

Eva is amazing! She is helping me grow and change at a deep and intimate level.

She is warm, fun, and laughs easily, while also focused and deeply committed to healing. Her passion and love are clear in every session.

Eva is intuitive and experienced, guiding me toward self-discovery, connectedness, and life energy. Her insights into childhood experiences have brought profound awareness.

She has helped me move beyond my thinking mind into my body, breath, and feelings. I feel fortunate to have her as my coach, truly helping me grow.

I have worked with Eva several times, including an intensive retreat.

She has an intuitive, nurturing energy combined with refined skills that create a unique and impactful experience. Her warm and open approach allowed me to trust her and receive her “magic,” opening my body and mindset with lasting benefits.

I’ve carried these shifts into my relationships, business, and community. Working with Eva is an amazing experience I highly recommend to anyone wanting to grow as a person, lover, and leader.
