About me
I started practicing because I needed it.
Hi, I'm Alessio. Clinical hypnotist, meditator for more than 11 years, and currently pursuing a Master's in Mindfulness and Health Neuroscience at Università San Raffaele.
Today I teach meditation, mindfulness and awareness tools with a practical, scientific and human approach.
Where DrAle comes from
For a long time I thought my work had to match what I'd already built.
Then I started feeling that something didn't add up.
It wasn't a lack of gratitude. It was something simpler: an important part of me was staying out of it.
What comes naturally to me is communicating, conveying calm, explaining complex things simply, and creating spaces where people can know themselves better.
DrAle was born from this: the desire to build work that's more mine, where expertise doesn't become distance and practice doesn't become spiritual theater.
Before I taught it, the practice helped me.
I didn't come to meditation because I was already calm.
I came to it because I was anxious, insecure, and often not very aware of what was happening inside me.
Practicing consistently helped me recognize my automatic patterns, regulate myself better, and return more often to what I was actually experiencing, instead of being at the mercy of my thoughts.
It didn't turn me into a flawless person. It gave me tools. And that's what I want to share.
Study, experience and concrete tools
Over the years I've studied and practiced meditation, mindfulness, self-hypnosis, clinical hypnosis, body-based techniques and autogenic training.
In my work — dentistry — anxiety, fear and pain are an everyday reality. I brought these tools right there: I've used them together with hundreds of patients, with great satisfaction, and I've seen them truly work.
I'm currently deepening the neuroscience of meditation with a university Master's in Mindfulness and Health Neuroscience at Università San Raffaele — because I never stop studying what I teach.
For me, the point isn't collecting techniques. It's understanding which tools can help a real person, with little time, a full mind and a life that doesn't stop.
This doesn't make the practice magical. It makes it concrete, understandable and trainable.
My way of teaching
I want to talk about these topics without building a persona around myself.
- in plain, everyday language;
- in a secular and practical way, open to anyone;
- with simple words, but without emptying things of substance;
- starting from small, repeatable experiments: breath, body, attention, imagination;
- with a scientific approach, but a human one;
- with lightness, because being serious doesn't mean being rigid.
I'd like to be a guide: someone who has practiced, studied, made mistakes, learned — and who has used these tools together with hundreds of patients, with great satisfaction. Now I try to share what can be useful.
Curiosity is the engine.
After love, curiosity is one of the values that matters most to me.
Curiosity about the mind, the body, people, travel, study, and the practices that change how we move through our days.
That's why DrAle doesn't want to be a closed method. It's a work in progress: I study, try, listen, simplify and share what can be useful.
If you want to start, begin with something small.
I wrote this page not to convince you that you must meditate, but to show you where I'm speaking from.
If this approach intrigues you, you can start with the content and the free practice I'm preparing.
