Network Bio
| Quick Blurb | Speaking Italian doesn’t have to feel stressful or overwhelming.I help sensitive learners find their voice in Italian through calm, safety, and neuro-based language coaching. My approach is trauma-informed. Message me to talk about your speaking goals. |
| Network Bio | I didn’t become a language teacher because of grammar.I became one because of people. My journey started in 2015, when I volunteered in refugee camps, teaching English to people who had experienced trauma, displacement, and deep stress. That experience changed the way I understand learning forever. I saw, very clearly, that language does not flow when the nervous system is in survival mode. Since then, my work has been focused on one core question:How can people feel safe enough to express themselves in another language? I later founded an Italian language school and worked for years with adult learners from different backgrounds. Over time, I realized that many learners don’t struggle because of lack of ability, but because of fear, pressure, and emotional blocks, especially when it comes to speaking. Today, as a certified NeuroLanguage Coach®, I work mainly with adult learners who understand Italian but freeze when they need to speak.My approach is neuro-based, trauma-informed, and centered on emotional safety, gentle structure, and real-life communication. I believe that confidence in a language is not built through pushing harder, but through creating the right conditions, where the brain can relax and the voice can emerge naturally.
If speaking Italian feels stressful or overwhelming, you are not broken.You may just need a safer way to learn. |

Testimonials
| Testimonials and Reviews | “Learning Italian was my dream for years, but anxiety and lack of confidence always stopped me.When I found Federica by chance on Facebook, everything changed.Her lessons feel like a safe world, a place where I forget the fear, breathe, and feel myself again.With her holistic approach I didn’t just learn grammar…I learned how to set myself free, enjoy speaking, and trust my voice.There was a moment I’ll never forget:During a congiuntivo exercise, I felt insecure and stuck. With just one gentle push from Fede, the sentence flowed out of me, long, natural, and 100% correct.That’s when I realized: I can do this.This journey feels like therapy, healing, joyful, and deeply human.Meeting Federica means learning freedom, love, and confidence.” Ella |
| Testimonials and Reviews | “Before restarting my journey with Federica, speaking Italian was my biggest fear.I understood everything, but when it was time to express myself, I completely froze the words disappeared, the rules tangled in my mind, and I felt blocked.I chose this holistic coaching because I needed something human, natural, and different. And what I found went far beyond my expectations.Each session with Federica feels authentic, warm, and full of positive energy.She makes you feel free to make mistakes, free to express yourself, and free to enjoy speaking.This wasn’t just Italian learning, it became a personal growth journey.I reconnected with my confidence, with my voice, and with the joy of speaking naturally.What touched me the most is that Federica doesn’t just teach Italian,she makes you feel Italy.Today, I trust myself, I speak with confidence and joy, and I’m becoming a better version of myself.This journey truly touches your heart, opens your mind, and helps you grow in ways you don’t expect.” |
| Testimonials and Reviews | “In just a few months, I went from struggling to speaking confidently with my coworkers and family.” Married with an Italian in Italy, she passed from not confident and unsecure talking with her in-laws and co-workers to speaking in Italian freely. |
| Testimonials and Reviews | “Before starting this journey, my biggest challenge was switching back into Italian.I use English every day at work, so whenever I tried to speak Italian… the words came out in English.I felt disconnected from the language I loved.I chose this holistic approach mainly by intuition, something inside me told me this space would feel right.And it truly did.The atmosphere in Federica’s sessions is calm, gentle, and safe.A place where you can learn new things, enjoy yourself, and actually have fun while growing.My favorite moment?Every session feels like a small step forward, a reminder of the quote I love:“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”This journey became exactly that: movement, inspiration, and learning in the most natural way.The biggest change I’ve noticed is how present and peaceful I feel during each lesson.I’m doing something I enjoy, without hurry, without pressure.Beyond language, this journey awakened my creativity.I would recommend it to anyone because Federica creates a truly relaxed, gentle space where learning feels easy and natural.” |
| Testimonials and Reviews | “Before this journey, I struggled with confidence and perfectionism.I feared making mistakes, froze in conversations, and often found myself blocked when speaking Italian, even though I live in Abruzzo and speak with Italian guests every day.I was drawn to Federica’s approach because I practice mindfulness, meditation, and forest bathing.The neuroscience-based techniques she uses resonated deeply with everything I value.At first, speaking in the group felt daunting.But Federica’s gentle guidance, and the supportive atmosphere she created, helped my confidence grow quickly.My fear of getting things wrong began to fade.I learned that the important thing is simply… to try.And that was a breakthrough.Federica surpassed all my expectations.She gave me not only a love for the Italian language itself, but a feeling of connection, something far beyond grammar.The biggest change?I no longer shy away from conversations with Italians.In fact… I now seek them out.This journey has made me happier, braver, and far more willing to step into situations I used to avoid, both on the phone and in person.Most definitely yes, I would recommend this journey.Grazie di cuore, Federica.” |

After just a month, I felt confident using basic Italian in real conversations.” – Ana, Brazil, traveler in Italy with her family |
