Hi, I’m Chiara — a certified yoga teacher, digital wellness educator, and creative soul devoted to living by my inner rhythm.
My path hasn’t been linear. I studied environmental engineering, worked in marketing (and still do), and spent years trying to find the “one right thing”—always bouncing back to two things: yoga and art. Stillness and creative chaos, in cyclical waves.

Then life cracked me open. I lost both of my parents by the age of 31 — first my mom to cancer at 27, then my dad to a hemorrhage, right on my 31st birthday. In the wake of that grief, I faced depression, anxiety, burnout, and physical pain — from chronic inflammation to hormonal imbalances and emotional and physical exhaustion.

My healing journey brought me back to yoga, somatic awareness, digital detox, creative recovery, and simple, grounding rituals. What started as personal survival is slowly becoming a path and a practice I want to share.

aum balance was born as a space to explore the mind-body connection through gentle yoga, cyclical rituals, digital wellness, and creative exploration — a space to come back home to myself, with compassion, joy, and creative fire.

I believe balance isn’t a fixed state — it’s something we return to, again and again, like breath. My mission is to create practices that help you return to your body, bringing awareness and a sense of inner balance — a true coming home to your body and your self. My work is here to support you in that return.

A note on aum balance

For those wondering about the name — aum comes from ancient Sanskrit. In Hinduism it represents the sound of the universe. To me, it speaks to creativity, presence, and the sacred pulse that runs through everything. Balance has been my personal quest: a steady thread through all the change, chaos, and healing in my life.

Bringing the two together felt right — because I believe a meaningful life is one where both creative chaos and stillness can exist side by side. That’s what I’m learning to live, and what aum balance is here to hold.
