Giulia Mattioli 

I'm passionate about contributing to people's wellbeing by sharing my love for Cacao, and various holistic practices such as Yoga, Meditation, Shamanism, Sound, and Conscious Communication.

My spiritual journey started after moving from Italy to Scotland, where I started to get closer to yoga and its principles.

After taking part in a Shamanic retreat, I decided to follow my intuition and walk the “Camino de Santiago, in Spain; once finishing it I decided to start traveling the world.

To develop a deeper understanding of the yoga philosophy, I gained a 200hrs YTT in the South of India, Kerala. This amazing experience taught me to live in harmony with myself, and my surroundings, and how important it is to share this knowledge with everyone.

This self-love journey took me to discover Bali where I got my Reiki Level 1 & 2 and New Zealand, where I started teaching Yoga in some retreat centers in the North and South Islands.

This land supported me to deepen my connection with Nature and to discover Cacao in its full potential.

From a young age I have always had a love affair with Cacao, but never fully understood why, as everyone around me just saw it as chocolate. The Universe worked its power and through Laura & Michelle, I found my way to The Cacao Ambassador.

Magic truly happened.

I love weaving all those practices together to assist people’s personal development, and thank you to my training in NVC (Conscious Communication) I found a way to reach people’s heart that feels inspiring and authentic.
