Elisa played volleyball professionally in Italy for 19 years, competing in regional and national competitions from the age of 6. With a degree in Sport Science from Magna Graecia University, she began her career as a Kinesiologist and Personal Trainer more than 10 years ago, working for MIUR (the Italian Ministry of Education) as a physical education teacher and leading her own Pilates and postural exercise classes alongside orthopaedic specialists, physiotherapists and osteopaths.
