Giulio Brunini is a Master Somatic Coach who works primarily with senior executives, leaders and individuals interested in embodied personal development.

Born in South Africa and raised between Italy and London, Giulio now lives between Istanbul and Tuscany. Together with his wife, Dr Ceren Akçelik Brunini, he created Dojo Bianco, a four-room healing hotel and organic farm in the Tuscan Maremma.

Dojo Bianco is also home to Dojo Bianco Immersion (DBI), a private four-night immersion for one person or one couple. During each DBI, the entire hotel is reserved for the immersion, with no other hotel guests.

Giulio brings together more than fifteen years of senior corporate experience with over a decade of somatic coaching practice. Before moving into this work, his roles included CEO of a Universal Music / WPP company and Director positions at Yahoo! and Saatchi & Saatchi.

His work draws on somatic coaching, embodied leadership, movement, relationship and work with horses, alongside a longstanding interest in how people develop the capacity to act differently under pressure and in periods of change.

Giulio trained with the Strozzi Institute, Newfield Network, the Gestalt Center for Coaching and Asterys Italy. He is also an Ashtanga Yoga instructor and has trained in equine guided education and horse liberty work.
