The Work

Where the
kitchen meets
the coaching room.

My path has never been linear — and I've stopped apologizing for that. I began as a therapist, found my way into culinary work, built a practice for neurodiverse learners, became a mother, nearly broke myself doing it all wrong, and then built something new from what I learned in the rubble.

What I do now is hold the whole picture — your nervous system, your business, your identity, your dreams. And I build spaces where other people can find room to do the same.

Author — Memoir in progress

"I had spent years letting everyone else write my recipe for me. This is the story of what happened when I finally picked up the pen."

"When your roots are solid, growth doesn't have to feel frantic or desperate. You can stretch, pivot, take risks — because you are securely anchored."
— Elena Tedeschi

The Book

A memoir about
the long way home.

"I had spent years letting everyone else write my recipe for me. My parents handed me the first draft and society kept it going."

From a girl born in Milan who learned to shrink herself to fit two worlds, to a woman who finally gave herself permission — this is the story behind the work. The kitchen. The grief. The Italian summers. The moment everything changed.
