What is Dolce Vita Life Coaching ™?

 (pronounced dole-chay  vee- ta)

From the Italian words meaning “sweet life”, the dolce vita is a celebratory experience of life; often found in the daily habits of the classic Italian lifestyle culture. I grew up observing my Italian family’s approach to life’s joys and difficulties, and years later I would come to more formally research this phenomenon, and the physical and emotional well-being that flows from immersing oneself in beauty, self-dignity (la bella figura) joy, cheerfulness, and the confidence that you can by no matter what(arrangiarsi).  I systematically observed these principles again when I attended school in Perugia; and my doctoral research centered around the cross cultural comparison between the US and Italy.  All of that led to the culmination of my best-selling self-help book “Living la Dolce Vita: Bring the Laughter, Passion, and Serenity of Italy into Your Daily Life”, published by Sourcebooks in 2003 and still going strong.

I have lectured across the US and Italy about these personal fulfillment principles; I have delivered countless keynotes, workshops, and seminars on these topics. The testimonials and notes I get from clients all over the country, reassures me that I am doing exactly what I was put on this earth to do: Sharing my life wisdom, knowledge, experience, and formal training, in a way that I can make a difference in people's lives, and let them, in turn, make a profound difference in mine.

It is truly an honor to call myself an educator, public speaker, writer, and life coach. My hope is to continue to help people turn their lives around for the better; people whose lives might be in transition; people who are yearning to make a breakthrough; people who feel lost or confused and want to clarify their vision for a sweet life that is meaningful to them.
