GOOD FOR YOUR TRANSFORMATION

an invitation to SYNCHRONIZE THE sweet life.

C.A.S.A sweet C.A.S.A

I have a deep concern with the current narrative in the personal growth industry, and that’s why I’ve chosen to use CASA (home) as a metaphor for this practice. CASA represents four modalities: Constellating (Family Constellations), Actualizing (Creative Intelligence), Synchronizing (The Elements of Choreography), and Attuning (Third Generation Coaching). As an Italian-Australian, this metaphor feels particularly fitting.

But CASA is more than just a name. It symbolizes the entanglements we have with the word itself, what it represents, and how it has been woven through generations. CASA is about love, family, safety—and the times we don’t feel safe at all. It’s about money, purpose, and, most importantly, whether we perceive it as something internal or external. The knowledge of having a CASA and what it stands for can either inflame the nervous system or calm it.

Beyond these layers, CASA is a tribute to my great-grandfather, who came to Australia in 1939. He helped other Italians migrate, offering them work and a roof over their heads until they could stand on their own.

This is my way of honoring him and all of my ancestors, acknowledging the legacy they’ve left behind, and creating something that reflects the complex, multifaceted nature of transformation.

All you have to do is descide is you want FREEDOM, WISDOM, GROOVE or PLENTY.

WHAT DO WE DO

we cultivate

REAL INTIMACY

transformational methodologies for real intimacy.

There is something invisible we are missing in our quest for connection.

One hundred years of research by the best of the best on happiness, trauma (and healing trauma), connection, connectivity, loneliness, belonging, vulnerability, purpose, personal growth and leadership.

Millions of courses, therapies, workshops, trainings and modalities for growth and ‘transformation.’

What’s missing?

Cultivating a rhythm. Rhythm (aka Synchronizing) is the bridge, the space between what we have and what we want.

synchronizing the space between

how we do it

Synchronizing

We can't tell you 'how we do it.' Not because we don't know but because we respect your path by not offering quick fixes, but encouraging you to find your own way.

what we can tell you is it is about cultivating a rhythm of your past, present, purpose and beyond — at the same time.

Synchronizing Discomfort & Safety

Reversing a century of misguided leadership, education, and mentorship—where the emphasis on 'how' has dulled minds and stifled creativity—won't happen overnight. We're not here to repair a broken system, but to transcend the current paradigm entirely.

MAKING VISIBLE THE MOMENT OF GACE

if we reveal the hidden dynamics of the past, by integrating the impact on the present, we can enjoy the rhythm of life

our people and their voice

LOVE, TRUTH & ALL THAT JAZZ

IT'S A BOHO THING

making visible the moment of grace

Melissa spent 30 days not knowing if she was going to live or die. 

In the first 72 hours she decided how she would live if given the chance.

Sixty-four percent of people question meaning when faced with a defining life event like chronic illness, divorce or the death of a loved one. Only 10% see the moment of grace.   

DANCE 'TIL YOU'RE ZEN

A podcast for two left feet dancers, non-dancers, professional dancers, retired dancers, wannabe dancers and accountants.

You don't have to be a dancer to have rhythm.

Join me as I talk to successful weirdos about their Body of (growth) Work and how they Synchronize Transformation.

Synchronizing is the sweet spot that naturally occurs when you are in rhythm with loving, living and transforming. 

 

Even if you feel like you are the main character in a horror, documentary, musical comedy about a ballroom dancing poodle   — just add music and Dance ’til You’re Dead.
