Welcome!
Benvenuti!
Bienvenidos!
Bem-vindos!
I’m happy you’re here!
My name is Daniela Cristofaro and I support individuals and couples.
Over the past 20 years, my deep dives into psychology, Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy, embodiment, dance, sexuality, spirituality, shamanism, psychedelics, and cultural immersions across Africa, Europe and Latin America have shaped who I am as a professional.
I describe myself as open-minded, grounded and curious. The space I offer is culturally-sensitive, neuro-affirming, sex-positive, gender-inclusive, LGBTQIA+ friendly, and non-monogamy-affirming,
I also have several years’ experience working within the NDIS space, supporting individuals who are living with autism, ADHD, Smith–Magenis Syndrome, and other developmental differences or disabilities,
Hakomi Therapy is a profound journey into self-awareness and self compassion. I welcome individuals and couples who are seeking body and nervous system-centred work that dives beneath the surface level understanding, inviting depth, honesty, compassion and real change.
I primarily work in English but can offer sessions in Italian, Spanish and Portuguese.
