The years passed

Only in 2015 did I come into contact with shiatsu again. I contacted shiatsu therapist due to health problems and I began a journey of healing and personal growth that lasted over 2 years. It was a wonderful experience.

First course 2018

This technique not only helped to heal myself but more importantly, it helped me to understand that I needed to change myself. Deep down I felt that I wasn't so happy with the way my life was going. I became so passionate about shiatsu that I decided to attend the courses organized by the same therapist.

Professional studies 2018-2021

There was nothing that could stop me from continuing my studies. I decided to attend the three-year course at a school in Milan and after completing 2 theses, I graduated in October 2021. It was truly a personal journey to understand who I am, what I am made of, what I would like to do, where I would like to go. And I realized that my journey was shiatsu. I realized that I would like to pass this beautiful "art" to the others. I realized that I would like to make people feel better. I understood that I would like to embrace and pass the touch of shiatsu to those who want to try it and to those who need it.

Post-master's degree 2022-2023

After graduating from the school, I continued my studies and decided to attend the master's course at the same school. This path was a deeper knowledge of what I studied and further personal growth, what's more, meeting fantastic group of people. Furthermore, I attended the course for instructors and two other courses for children and teenagers for I would wish to introduce this art to them too. I believe it is very important for children to experience it as it develops the ability to express themselves and to have self-confidence, increases the ability to concentrate and brings calm. And from here, my professional and personal growth continues...

February 2024

I found a great desire to study and I discovered that I would like to know and understand various mental and physical balance techniques. And so it happened, in February I participated in Level 1 Foot Reflexology course. It was interesting and certainly aroused in me the curiosity to know more. In September I attended an update workshop.

April 2024

In April I attended a Level 1 Reiki course. I heard about this Japanese technique but I didn't have much knowledge of what it was exactly. Therefore I enrolled in the school that teaches the original Usui method. It was a beautiful experience that allowed me to meet people who had the desire to get to know each other better, to change the things that were not going well in their lives. After the course I had the opportunity to practice Reiki and the results are surprising. I would like to continue studying and participate at other levels.

July 2024

In the middle of summer I had the opportunity to participate in the Level 2 Foot Reflexology course. I understood better how reflexology works in relation to the organs, viscera and various parts of the body inspired by Traditional Chinese Medicine and also how to apply pressure to different points of the sole of the foot. It has been a nutricious experience.

October 2024

It happened to me that I came across this course. It has always been a great interest of mine to pass my shiatsu knowledge to the children. To be a part of this workshop was a great opportunity for me to learn new techniques, such as how to work with shiatsu on newborn babies, bigger babies and then on older kids when they suffer various pains, when they get sick and so on. Furthermore, we learned some techniques that can be practised on pregnant women in order to relieve their discomforts connected to pregnancy or during their labor. It has been definately a huge  enrichment for me.

December 2024

I promised myself to pursue a further level of the Reiki technique and here I am (Level 2). It was a very interesting course, very deep since we talk about the energy and I was happy to be a part of it.
I have learned new and more powerful techniques that can be used on myself as well as other people, especially how to use distance Reiki. This can very useful for those who are far away or unable to come to the studio. Distance Reiki allows practitioners to send healing energy to individuals, situations, or events regardless of their physical location.....a beautiful experience of deep relaxation.

January 2025

It was a lot of fun and at the same time very relaxing, the heat spreading and the sensation of feeling the flow of energy in the body.                                             Moxibustion or moxa (burning herb) is a therapeutic practice of T.C.M. (traditional Chinese medicine) widely used in the East. It can be used as a single technique or combined with other techniques such as shiatsu, acupuncture. It involves using the cigar-shaped stick of an herb called mugwort or the charcoal stick to heat the meridians, certain areas of the body or specific acupuncture points. Burning mugwort or charcoal stick on the skin stimulates blood circulation and Qi flow. It is hypothesized that moxa disperses cold and dampness in the body and tones Yang.

February 2025

I was attracted to this particular course led by a French practitioner and teacher Antoine Di Novi. There was a very interesting theoretical part, but above all a lot of practice combining traditional and ancient shiatsu with modern shiatsu, therefore uniting the Western world with the Eastern one; therefore the connections between Chinese and Japanese studies, modern knowledge of physiology, palpatory anatomy and the analgesic points described by Dr. Valleix. The treatments were aimed at pain problems, neuralgia and inflammation of nerves and tendons in various areas of the body; starting from the head and face, passing through the gluteal and abdominal region and ending with the lower limbs and feet.
