In 2009, together with other authors, I published the book "Costellazioni Muscolari", which was just the prelude to the books that came later. In 2013 I published the book "Life Stretching", in 2014 "Massaggio Posturale", in 2016 came "Mobilizzazioni Osteopatiche" and in 2020 "Sistema Gnato-Posturale".

Blog
Writing has always been my greatest passion. In this blog I enjoy sharing reflections and research as they are another side of me that I tell on this site.
The articles are in various languages (English, Italian and German) and range from socio-cultural to scientific topics. I do not claim to tell any truth and I only want to share moments of inner collection and if you feel like commenting I look forward to receiving your email.
