Will take me a while to switch off... for now I miss the air con 😂 its 50’ degrees Im melting 🥵 @ Passoscuro Beach

Be capable to teach and share with them so much more than muscle contraction is what motivates me and push me to learn more and more about healthy living everyday. Im due a self development course in two weeks and an inner-work and silent retreat later on this year. The more I learn and grow the more I will be able to impact their life. I am also organising a party for them to say thank you for being my everyday inspiration and spend some time outside the gym all together sharing stories and achievements creating a safe circle of friends heading in the same direction. Creating a lifestyle is what I do best!!!
in this picture trying out at home things she learned during the session and pretty much slaying any workout I put her through! Always keeping me on my toes to bespoke harder workouts each time # # a beast in the making.
Feeling lucky and blessed everyday # # #

Being Emotionally Healthy is the ultimate superpower and doesn’t necessarily means you are happy all the time! Lets start from the fact that you can’t fix emotions, they need to be...be allowed to flow, being observed and listened to, they are showing us what we need to work on, they are a signal of whats sits within and we should give the space due and try our best not to identify as them. I was never capable to deal with anything negative, I used to do everything in my power to shift move and readjust what I could in order not to suffer. I whispered myself stories that never took place, excused behaviors from others and pretty much mold anything I could to make it prettier (if you are a libra you know what I mean). Avoiding pain was the aim and I have a master degree on avoidance and being oblivious on the so considered ‘bad emotions’. I am not alone, our brain is wired to preserve us from pain but not experiencing it means also not being able to understand accept and translate it.
But how?! Everyone is happy on Instagram...why am I not? I answer that by saying that we have become pleasure seekers, new car will make us happy as much and seeing 65kg on the scale etc etc. Don’t let me start on how much 💩 Ive told myself over the years unless you wanna p*e yourself laughing at my dumb ass.
NOTHING EXTERNAL CAN MAKE US HAPPY! Read that again!
The solution (if you read it this far you are going to be rewarded effing finally) is changing our way of thinking of whats good and bad. Finding the balance we all aspire to, where things happen and we have the courage to face and feel how we need to. We cry we laugh we are happy and sad equally without seeing one better than the other...they are part of your perfect being!
Living fully, openly and experience it all x

Client appreciation post!

All I have to add is that we are on charge of this journey...its all on us and finding excuses and pointing fingers won’t change you...non taking actions is also a choice...
You do You but dont blame others for the things you haven’t done! I will break all your excuses and we will build the best case scenario together...the worst case scenario never happens anyway, its another mind trick that we both know its BS!

Love this girl to bits more and more everyday 💕🥰

What are you grateful for today?!
I am grateful for the amazing life I am living, for my friends and family, for being able to share this journey surrounded by amazing souls that inspire me everyday. Grateful for my perfect healthy body that everyday keeps me on my toes and provides me with everything I need! We have absolutely everything and we are so lucky to be here! Read that again ...every morning! ...out loud!
As per sending love and positive vibes x today I am full of light... free hugs anyone?!

The biggest deal so far was stop thinking about me in a certain way. As soon as I have changed the way I speak to myself in mine own head the miracle happened almost instantly. Don’t get me wrong I still have massive downfalls where I doubt everything and anything but mostly I don’t talk to me in a negative way any longer... I am fat, not good enough, not brave enough and the list goes on! Then one day I actually dare to ask myself a question: am I really all these things?! The answer is hell not! Self perceptions are so deeply connected to how others see us and somehow we looking at ourselves through the eyes of people that don’t even know who we are. Stop worrying about what everyone else thinks of you and start looking within?! You gonna see so much love and magic that you cannot stop loving yourself and respecting who you are! Everything else will come into place at the right time and people will start falling in love with you... if they aren’t, their loss!!! Love you unconditionally x

Fear on being upside down is very common and since I have started introducing Handstand to student and clients I am somehow overcoming my own more and more. Since I have broke my elbow during an Handstand push-up my life hasn’t been the same... I felt that one sit back took over years of successful training and great achievements and all of a sudden I sucked at everything. Can anyone relate?! We aren’t always winning in life and every time we fail we can’t sit there with judgement and regrets... I have learned one of the best lessons and I’m grateful for my broken elbow.... few years later Handstand in Lisbon under the amuse eyes of tourists asking me to repeat so they could take a pic too 😉🙃 who knew my come back was gonna be this fun?! 🤸🏽‍♂️ @ CASTELO DE S. JORGE

Lost in Lisbon... much needed break and a wonderful getaway to recharge the battery!
Back to the grind before my official summer holiday :)

Training with Ilaria has transformed my life and I am absolutely amazed at the result after just over 20 sessions. She has helped to build my strength, resilience, stamina and pushed me to achieve my dream look. Every single session has been fun filled and I am so grateful for how Ilaria pushes me to achieve more every single time. I have learnt how to manage my meals better, combined yoga with my training which is perfect for me and I feel so much more energetic on a day to day basis. Ilaria is not only a great personal trainer but an excellent mentor who has motivated me to be strong and healthy. Thank you so much for the incredible sessions and I look forward to training further with you to improve my fitness further. Ilaria is reliable, trustworthy and so warm and friendly. She makes training enjoyable, powerful and challenges me in exactly the way I need. I feel better than ever and have Ilaria to thank for that. I wholeheartedly recommend Ilaria to anyone who wishes to change their life for the better.

I am not blushing...I am just in love with her 🥰 bringing so much energy and passion to the gym every single session.

Happy Mother’s day!
Love your mum unconditionally.
