About me
Kinesiologist & Certified Pilates Instructor
Welcome!
I’m Leo, a movement specialist with a degree in Kinesiology from the University of Ferrara, Italy. My academic journey culminated in a research thesis on the “Effectiveness of a Post-Mastectomy Pilates-Inspired Program,” reflecting my commitment to using movement as a tool for healing, strength, and resilience.
With a lifelong background in Judo, skiing, and various movement disciplines, I bring both passion and precision to my work. I'm a certified instructor in Judo, Pilates, and fitness, with years of experience teaching individuals of all levels and abilities.
My Pilates path began in Italy and expanded internationally through an intensive five-month internship in California with Balanced Body Education, the world’s leading Pilates education provider. There, I completed the Comprehensive Program at EHS Pilates Studio in San Francisco while also working directly with the Balanced Body Education Department in Sacramento.
Since returning to Italy, I’ve continued to teach in top studios across Milan. In 2022, I was invited by Joy Puleo, internationally recognized educator and Director of Education at Balanced Body, to officially join their global Education Team.
I’ve had the honor of learning from some of the most respected names in the field—Nora St. John, Tom McCook, Viktor Uygan, Elizabeth Larkam, Cara Reeser, Karen Frischmann, and many others—whose mentorship has deepened my understanding of Pilates as a powerful system for intelligent, mindful movement.
Whether you're new to Pilates or an experienced mover, my mission is to help you reconnect with your body, move with confidence, and discover what you're truly capable of.
With enthusiasm and passion I keep sharing the importance of movement by guiding people through their own path that allows them to improve their lives and achieve their dreams.
Ready to move better, feel stronger, and build lasting body awareness?
