ABOUT
Penny is the founder of Greenwtichcom, a global community of +100k people with the mission of spreading knowledge and wisdom on witchcraft and ancient practices.
I not only want to share my dream with you but I would love you’d be part of it.
I always dreamt of a place where people would gathered with the intent of healing themselves and support others.
A place where everyone could feel free and comfortable in showing their true self, without any fear of being judged.
A place where we can share our spiritual knowledge to help others as well as learning new practices to heal and find happiness.
A place where how we look and where we come from doesn’t define us but instead expand curiosity and love; where what we have to give, share and what we need to receive is the main focus.
A place where we can all heal, expand our vision and knowledge and co-create from our heart.
It is my mission to make Greenwitchcom that place and so much more.
And I would love if you would come on this journey with me.

MY STORY
When I was 13 years old I discovered Buddhism, thanks to my art teacher, and from that moment my life has forever changed.
Since then I started practicing and studying the ancient ways of healing (which for me was like starting breathing again as I was raised Christian and never found myself in that religion).
My deep passion and devotion for Buddhism led me to make big changes in my life such as stop eating meat and changing my daily routine to improve my mindset and lifestyle.
As time passed by, when I was 19 I faced a difficult phase of my life, full of grief, anger, sadness and loneliness.
I was stuck in my own emotions and not in tune with myself.
I then realised that I needed to make some changes in order to reconnect with my gifts and spiritual practice; for that, I decided to make the biggest and most important decision of my whole life: I left my home, and my ordinary life and moved to the biggest Buddhist Center in Europe.
I went and lived for two years with monks, nuns and Ghesches (gurus, main teachers) to deeply live and study the ancient ways, to fully understand the old philosophy and truly dedicate myself to what I most love in life: learning healing ways and methods to help people in their journey.
Those two years were the most magickal and life-changing years of my life.
My spiritual awakening started there and thanks to the teachings I followed every day and living by the monastery standard, I could release my blockages, understand my shadows and practice with devotion many different holistic methods that shined a bright light throughout my healing path.
There I could take part in some of the beautiful Master Program lessons (a series of teachings that study the ancient sutras and texts from Buddha Shakyamuni and other disciples), Vipassana, different meditation techniques, Mindset trainings and much more.
It is also there, thanks to Ven. Lucia, that my passion for herbalism began; I started studying how the different herbs and plants could heal our physical and spiritual body and how deeply connected with the world of plants and spirituality were.
A few years later, I moved to London and started integrating into my spiritual studies paganism and witchcraft.
I stumbled a few times during my journey, and I would lie if I said I didn't struggle to find balance in practising both, Buddhism and witchcraft.
My old programming and beliefs were forcing me to choose one, making me feel wrong and “not devoted enough” as I didn’t want to give one up.
With the help of coaching and practising what I’ve learned in the previous years, I slowly started accepting that having only “one defined practice” wasn’t indeed meant for me.
Accepting that aspect of myself was so liberating! Accepting my true self, who I was without shame and fear was one of the greatest experiences I had in life.
Since that moment I can proudly call myself a Buddhist Witch without trying to find any fault in it.
As I was noticing how witchcraft, herbalism and Buddhism had so many aspects in common, I could feel the unstoppable need coming from my heart, to create a place where people could learn from these amazing philosophies, heal through their wisdom and share their knowledge with others.
It was during the pandemic that I decided to create Greenwitchcom (2021), our +95k community of people from all around the world. Since then we share our journey together and I was able to share my knowledge, guide people through my 1:1 coaching, masterclass and workshops.
I then wrote the book Witchcraft Simplified, Crystals Simplified and I’m currently the making of a new one.
In March 2023 I created Our Sacred Sisterhood, a membership space entirely dedicated to women and their healing journey.
Today I firmly believe in the importance of helping people find their unique way of healing as well as sharing how fundamental it is to heal our Witch and Sisterhood wounds, two very present aspect in my work and coaching.
It is my greatest honour to have the opportunity to share with you my wisdom and help you find your way to deep healing and self-discovery.

It is my life mission to guide people in healing their wounds, value their full potential and connect with their nature.
