Marzia Vigliaroni, PhD

A clinical and community psychologist, she holds a PhD in Contemporary Society Education and is the co-founder of the specialized master's degree programs in Mental Health in Humanitarian Contexts offered by the Foundation of the European College of Parma.

After a career in international cooperation that took her to Madagascar, the Central African Republic, and Niger, first with COOPI and then with UNHCR, her approach sees academic training as complementary to field experience. Today, she continues her studies to incorporate techniques that respect energetic values—in their various facets—in personal and psychic care.
