About me

An outdoor sports enthusiast, after my MSc in International Trade Negotiation at Sorbonne University in Paris, and 7 years of experience in marketing and communication (De Cecco and Prada) in NYC, I moved to Asia and worked on communication and video-editing projects for international charities (Pistorio Foundation, Rachel House, Tabitha Foundation). When I moved back to Europe, I become passionate about helping people achieve their best possible health through better food and lifestyle choices. As the editor of the health and beauty magazine Medwellness since 2010, I decided, in 2017, to take a step further in spreading the 'health' message and studied nutritional therapy at the College of Naturopathic Medicine in London, from where I graduated in 2019. Further to having my own nutrition practice,  I am an Accredited Naturopath (ANP), an *Meditation Coach, a BASI mat Pilates instructor, a British Horse Society Accredited Professional Coach, and I work as a health and nutrition communication consultant (Fresenius, Baldo &Mason, The College of Naturopathic Medicine).  I currently work with Terme di Saturnia on specific weight-loss retreats as I attend my MSc in Nutrition Science at Ud'A. I am a fully insured, qualified and registered member of the British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine (BANT), accredited by the Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) and governed by the CNHC Code of Conduct. I offer consultations (traditional & digital communication and nutrition) in English, Italian and French. 

*Meditation is a helpful practice and tool  but it is not for everyone. Some people may not benefit from it. 

"When I was first introduced to Raffaella I was a bit skeptical and possibly old fashioned. I thought I was in control of everything and there was nothing more I could do to improve my life. Tired, hungry and depressed, I thought I was making healthy choices, but I soon realised there is more I could do than just read a few health blogs. Raffaella came into my life at the right time, when I was struggling with all I had to deal with. She guided me thought nutrition and lifestyle choices and within three months of following her plan I could not believe how healthy and well I felt in my skin. And the plan was not impossible or even hard to follow. I felt alive again for the first time in a long time with plenty of energy, happy with my weight and with my life.   I can honestly say I saw improvements in every aspect of my life and I am so grateful to Raffaella".

Raffy has a unique combination of knowledge of nutrition and understanding of child psychology. My 8-year-old son had been struggling with stomach cramps and constipation for months. I had seen several paediatricians, dieticians, naturopaths but had no success. And then came Raffy! She built a personalised and practical diet plan for him. This diet plan included foods that he already enjoyed and introduced new foods in a gradual way to make his diet wholesome. She also recommended the right probiotics and supplements to resolve the gut issues.

In a few months, my son's gut health and overall eating habits have tremendously improved. I'm incredibly thankful to Raffy for not only helping resolve my son's health but also improving his eating habits. S.K.

I have been suffering from IBS symptoms ever since I can remember. Raffaella has a caring and kind attitude and is very professional. After just a few weeks of following her nutrition plan, I felt a lot more energetic and my condition had improved immensely. After a few months I forgot about many of the unpleasant symptoms I used to have and feel better than I have felt in a very long time. Thank you Raffaella ! F.P.
