Madda
Ciao, I’m Madda, Co-founder of Humagora
I’m a National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach and life/academic coach who helps high-achievers and big-hearted humans slow down, reconnect with what matters, and create lives that feel grounded and deeply alive. Born and raised in Italy, I bring a Mediterranean lens, simplicity, presence, and la dolce vita, to modern wellbeing.
My Values
Authenticity over appearance.
I believe in being real, not perfect. True well-being starts when we stop performing and start honoring what’s honest, even when it’s messy.
Presence over pressure.
I value slowing down, paying attention, and making space to feel what’s true. Presence is a powerful form of care.
Simplicity with soul.
A full life doesn’t have to be a busy one. I find meaning in the small things — rituals, relationships, and rhythms that nourish us.
Courage and compassion.
Growth takes bravery, and also softness. I meet my clients with both — helping them explore challenges without judgment, and take steps with heart.
Integrity in action.
What I teach is how I live. I believe in walking the talk, aligning choices with values, and building a life that feels good on the inside.
