FTHub Certified Trainer
of Nature Connection Specialist
After several years as a manager in high-pressure environments, I realized the negative impact that stress and the fast pace of life have on our health, which led me to seek a more sustainable and balanced way of living. The creation of the 4NATURE PROJECT project is the realization of this vision.
I deeply believe that my work can raise awareness and inspire about the importance of protecting our health and that of the planet. This holistic approach, which combines well-being, sustainability, and respect for nature, is at the heart of my mission.
