Shiatsu in Montpellier
Shiatsu is a traditional Japanese massage that works on the physical, mental, emotional, and energetic aspects of the body.
Using only the thumbs and hands, different areas of the body are pressed, mobilized, and gently stretched.
Sessions are performed with the client fully clothed and without the use of oils.

He is knowledgeable as a practitioner, he is sensitive and has a beautiful energy. He can adapt to my needs and adjust to a stronger massage for athletes and dancers. I always feel rejuvenated and balanced after our sessions.
My favorite shiatsu practitioner in Montpellier, whom I’ll keep coming back to. I highly recommend!"

Breathwork
Breathwork is the conscious use of the breath to heal, purify, energize, or calm our nervous system.
I use a variety of breathing practices designed to the theme of each session. I combine Ancient Taoism, Sufism, Pranayama, and modern Western breathwork including conscious connected breathing.
These techniques help decrease muscle armoring, release tensions and patterns, all while savoring the blissful energy of the breath.
Breathwork is offered in private or group classes.
Somatics
Somatic practices that i offer can be divided into two main categories.
Active and Receptive Practices.
Active: are mainly practices from Taoism, Osho and Bioenergetics (Reich, Lowen) that activate, release, or transform energy through movement- based sessions.
Receptive: uses one's awareness to guide the exploration of the body-mind from within - These practices are rooted both in Tibetan Buddhism as well as contemporary western Somatics.
Somatics are offered in private or group classes..
Meditation
Meditation is a tool to enter from the periphery - your Mind and Body - into your inner most center. Your true, Natural Self, innate in every one of us.
It is a practice of Self-Remembering.
This state of being, as you will explore and experience, is one that is in complete harmony with your surrounding, with nature, with the absolute source of everything.
Whether you are interested in the spiritual aspect of meditation or not is totally personal. It is not a pre-requisite nor the objective for any of the classes.
Meditation is an integral aspect - included also in Somatic classes, Breathwork and individual sessions.

About me
My path started in Meditation more than 10 years ago and became the basis for an ongoing inner exploration and understanding. It is the guiding principle to all my practices.
Some notable influences have been in courses, workshops, readings, and retreats from the world of Osho, Tibetan Buddhism, Macrobiotics, Taoism, Zen, & Sufism. These have shaped my interest in the Body as a gateway to psycho-somatic health, well-being, and spiritual evolution of Awareness and Love.
I studied Shiatsu at Escuela Japonesa de Shiatsu in Madrid - Accreditied by the Japan Shiatsu College in Tokyo. Master Shigeru Onoda, the director and teacher is a direct disciple of Tokujiro Namikoshi.
Currently based in Montpellier, France.
