My Story

I was not always this person.

For over 20 years I lived inside the world of luxury fashion. Prada. Furla. Miu Miu. Nespresso. I was a boutique owner, a manager, a leader. I was good at it. Very good.

But somewhere between the perfectly pressed suits and the sales targets, I lost myself completely.

Then everything hit at once.

Perimenopause arrived uninvited. My body started changing in ways nobody had warned me about. Then came the diagnosis — Morbus Basedow. An autoimmune disease. Hyperthyroidism. Doctors told me only

30% fully heal.

I decided I would be in that 30%.

But what hurt more than any diagnosis was the moment my best friend looked at me and said — 'Annamaria, I think you just need a psychiatrist. It's just anxiety.'

That was the moment everything became clear.

Nobody is coming to save you. Only you can do that.

So I healed. Completely. Through mindset work, movement I actually loved, food I actually enjoyed, and the radical decision to stop punishing myself.

I became a certified mindset coach. I co-founded InsideSpark — an AI coaching app built because I needed it myself.

I now live in Cyprus with my husband, my son, and my dog. I walk 15,000 steps daily. I do pilates and strength training. I eat what I love. I have zero guilt.

And I help others do the same.

Not with prescriptions. Not with programmes. With honest conversations and the right questions.

I live the life I teach. Let me show you how.
