Meet Our Team
Dario
Shiatsu Practitioner | Owner of Shiatsu For Life
Shiatsu is a Japanese healing practice that uses gentle pressure along the body’s meridians to stimulate the flow of Ki (life force) and support natural healing. The Masunaga Style takes a holistic approach by addressing emotional, spiritual, and psychological imbalances, fostering deeper self-awareness and well-being.
Mario graduated in 2004 at the Accademia Italiana Shiatsu-Do in Italy, in the Masunaga style, and started his practice in Torino before moving to Vernon in 2009.
Julie
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist, RCST® | IFT® Intuitive Coach
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) uses gentle, still touch to engage the body’s natural intelligence and calm the nervous system. By guiding the body out of fight-or-flight and into a state of rest and repair, it supports deep healing and inner transformation. This subtle therapy encourages the body’s innate health to surface and restore balance from within.
Since 2010, Julie has offered healing therapies such as Reiki, Healing Touch, and massage, and now shares the transformative power of Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy.
