Hello, I’m Paola

and presence.

Life doesn’t challenge us to break us. It does so to transform us.

Do these words resonate with you?

You are someone who has always known how to “function well.”

You manage work, family, commitments, and yet inside you feel a constant sense of fatigue. You wake up each morning with a weight on your chest and the feeling that you need to fight just to find a little lightness.

Your body has been telling you for a while: chronic pain, muscle tension, stomach aches, emotional eating, insomnia. Or a sense of irritation and frustration that sometimes turns into aggression or withdrawal from those you love.

You realize this pressure is draining your energy, affecting your relationships,

and your ability to feel pleasure.

But maybe you haven’t yet realized that something even more important is at stake:

Your Joy of Living

You know you need to change something, but you don’t know where to start.

Many of the signals your body and nervous system are sending you are linked to past experiences that were never truly processed: traumas, disappointments, expectations you felt you had to meet.

Through our work together, you can rediscover space, lightness, and the pleasure of living. You can feel more present with those you love, reconnect with your vitality, and nurture more authentic relationships.

Who I Am

My name is Paola Della Casa.

I am a single mother, and for many years, I was an entrepreneur and consultant for the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

I come from a demanding professional world, defined by high standards, performance, and responsibility.I know well what it means to hold everything together — work, family, relationships — while feeling empty inside.

Today, I am a Soul Trainer and Holistic Coach.

I work with people who have spent their lives doing things well, but have forgotten how to feel well.
Since 1988, I’ve been exploring myself through courses, seminars, and therapies, and for more than 10 years, I’ve been guiding those who no longer wish to just “survive,” but to finally live with authenticity and presence.

I believe the body is not an obstacle to overcome, but a precious compass to listen to. That vulnerability is a strength. And that joy is born not from being perfect, but from feeling alive.

And More...

Since November 2024, I have been training in NARM® (Neuro Affective Relational Model): an innovative approach for working with early relational trauma, with gentleness and depth, helping people reconnect with their true identity and strengthen resilience.

My Commitment to the World.

I am the Founder and President of Emergenza Sorrisi Switzerland, affiliated with Emergenza Sorrisi Italy.

With more than 400 volunteer doctors and nurses, we provide specialized surgeries to children in countries with fragile healthcare systems.

Bringing a smile to a child, for me, is the same as what I help adults do: restore dignity, presence, and connection with life.

Why What I Do Is Different

My approach is integrated, body-oriented, and deeply human.

We work not only on the mind but also on the body and the heart.

Those who work with me:

✔ stop living only in the “doing” and rediscover the pleasure of simply being

✔ wake up lighter, with a renewed desire to face the day, not just out of duty

✔ learn to respect their own rhythms without guilt

✔ return to doing things for joy, not out of obligation

✔ improve their relationships, communicating with more clarity and less fear

And, above all, they rediscover the joy of living.

Systemic and Family Constellations.

I am a certified facilitator in Systemic and Family Constellations a powerful experiential

approach that brings to light what silently shapes our lives and relationships: invisible loyalties, inherited patterns, and forms of blind love that often lead us to repeat dynamics that no longer truly belong to us.

Constellations help restore balance to the core Principles of Love — belonging, hierarchy, and

giving and receiving — allowing us to reconnect with an inner place that supports freedom,

authenticity, and healthier relationships.

Thanks to my somatic background (Somatic Experiencing®, NARM, Core Energetics), I guide this process with deep respect for the nervous system, ensuring that no one feels overwhelmed, disoriented, or left alone after touching profound inner material.

For me, it is essential that every step is grounded in the body, in safety, and in presence.

Integration, not destabilisation.

In this way, Systemic and Family Constellations become a deeply transformative yet respectful

process — one that honours our roots while opening the space to live our own life.

This work is fully aligned with my core journey and methodology, “I LIVE — I Don’t Just

Survive”, a path dedicated to embodied presence, conscious choice, and authentic living.
