YOUR FACILITATOR
VALENTINA
For over 20 years, movement has been at the core of my life. Whether through dance, yoga, or simply being in tune with my body, this connection has shaped everything I do.
It’s this deep love for movement that led me to explore various body therapies, such as Remedial Massage, Traditional Thai Massage, Lomi Lomi Hawaiian Massage and Zenthai Shiatsu.
In 2023, I completed my Zenthai Shiatsu Flow training, which opened up the incredible opportunity to teach workshops in Bali, Italy and the UK, alongside my yoga flow classes. My work is also inspired by ancient traditions that connect us to nature, something I weave into my everyday life and rituals. This deep reverence for the world around us is something I hope to share in my teachings.
What I’ve learned on this path has not only expanded my toolbox of therapeutic practices but also been a pivotal part of my own healing. It’s taught me the profound importance of creating a safe and nurturing space for others, and I bring that energy into everything I do.
