About me
Thirty years of research on body and energy
I was born in Milan, the city where I live and work as a shiatsuka.
My interest in the energetic disciplines started in 1990 and since 2004 I began my learning path at the Istituto Europeo di Shiatsu, coached by Patrizia Stefanini. I study the meridians of Chinese medical tradition and Shizuto Masunaga's shiatsu method, which I have made my own through years of personal practice.
My research continues today with Hado Shiatsu seminars, combining ancient Chinese medicine with Quantum Physics and Biophysics. I have implemented my technique with courses in Anatomy and traditional Chinese medicine, along with my natural interest in Mindfulness, transcendental meditation, yoga, low-impact aerobics and healthy nutrition.
