about
coco finaldi
My life has truly been in many ways, smooth and very abundant. That said, I have experienced tragic events that have given me immense lessons in dealing with grief and embodying, accepting and understanding Detachment and Impermanence. From the loss of my daughter to the one of my spouse in 2022, I see relationships as teachers first and foremost. Health & wellness, Yoga practice and my own physical and body/mind/spirit journey also carried history of eating disorders, depression, injuries on the physical body namely a hip replacement also informed and shaped some of my core teachings and my approach. I am definitely one who has experienced CHANGE in body, mind & spirit and continues to unravel the mystical plan of it all. Rooted in embodiment, the holistic approach has been a trusted steed that I continue to
work myself & share.
