I'm Paola and I teach how to be well.
I have worked for over 25 years, both as a physiotherapist and Grinberg Method® practitioner. I do both either group and individual sessions.
The desire to discover and the determination not to limit myself to that which I have become accustomed to have always pushed me to discover new possibilities for how to overcome my daily routines. This motivation has pushed me to become a professional who works individually with clients, and to become a trainer who leads groups and workshops on the body for personal growth.

I graduated in physiotherapy in 1996. I am a licensed practitioner and certified trainer of the Grinberg® Method, a certified Stopping movement teacher, have been in business since 1999, when I opened the first professional studio for the Grinberg Method in Turin, in the Piemonte region of Italy.
For several years I was an assistant during the international professional training courses of the Grinberg Method®, I had been an assistant in the International professional courses of the Grinberg method, flanking Avi Grinberg, the founder of this methodology and various teachers, including Ruth Elkana, Vered Manasse, Inge Scheid, until I decided to become a teacher myself in 2008 and train future professionals, becoming the first Italian teacher of Grinberg method.
I am registered at no. 3259 of the register of the health profession of Physiotherapist and the Italian Association of Physiotherapy.
I had practiced the profession of physiotherapist working for various local health authorities and in various hospitals in Piedmont, including the Molinette Hospital in Turin.
Every year I have attended trainings in the Grinberg Method® with Avi Grinberg - creator of this method attending international courses in Spain, Italy, Germany and Switzerland. I have taken and completed the five levels of his Recovery course, the physical recovery training class for the Grinberg Method®.
I live in Turin, where I do most of my business, and combining the passion for travel and the opportunity to encounter people of different backgrounds, I regularly conduct courses and workshops around Italy and Europe - Stockholm, Paris, Cuneo, Rome - teaching in English, Italian, French, bringing this methodology where it was not yet known with individual sessions and group courses.
I love being a pioneer!
I played piano since the age of five, music is part of my life, I'm always amazed how hands could be a vehicle of such power and beauty.
Hands that have also tried to do graffiti (legal, of course) but with few, very few results. I still have passion for art and street art.
I love nature, its colours and fragrances: I often spend my free time walking in the mountains, recharging me, I like to feel at one with it, I am stimulated by stacking up gradients and kilometres, being in silence.
I travel, I have friends in many different countries and this gives me a sense of freedom.
I have a flowery balcony that I take care of all year, taking care of the plants relaxes me, it's one of my forms of meditation.
I believe that the best is yet to come, just because I am alive and then because I have the desire to know what is unknown to me, to expand, to follow my curiosity.
