Therapist specialised in posture
Graduate in Massage therapy, Foot Reflexology and Ortho-Bionomy, for 20 years I look after Manual Therapies at la Sorgente.
My passion in the world of Massage Arts was born a few years after having obtained a Diploma at a Technical Institute in my early twenties. With entrapreneurship and curiosity I approached this wonderful world thanks to Viviana (who will become my wife) I attended with her a Sports Massage Course at the BCM (European School of Aesthetics and Massage) in Milan. With light-heartedness and without too many expectations I attended the 6 months of training while working as a Technical IT Programmer, but inevitably, along the way my interest in this new world became more and more intense. After obtaining the qualification with top marks, I let the passion and hunger for knowledge take over when I become aware of how easily I was able to achieve great results just with simplicity and intuition.
Proud of my first professional acknowledgement, my thirst for knowledge and wish to further explore this new world I felt soon enough the need for a more long-lasting and complete training school course.
My preference was for the F.I.R.P. (Italian Federation of Foot Reflexology), leader in Italy in the holistic specialities.
Without hesitation, I began the three-year training course at the School in Milan, it was not easy to work and study, but I did it, thanks to the School's teaching board (Doctors Specialized in Orthopedics, Surgery, Psychology, Psychotherapy, Internal Medicine , Hygiene and Preventive Medicine) as well as Foot Reflexology Operators with decades of experience.
After graduating as a Reflexologist, I began to be part of the world of Wellness, taking my first steps in the sector thanks again to Viviana who in the meantime took over the management of the a Hotel SPA, bringing to life the far-sighted “LA SORGENTE” Project.
Among the various commitments, increasingly more and more tight, the desire to grow as a Therapist led me in a short time to attend and Graduate at the Swiss Triennial School of Ortho-Bionomy, broadening my knowledge in the field of Postural Rebalancing. The valuable training received from European teachers refined my listening skills and the patient psychosomatic interpretation, expanding my ability to manage and resolve the different possible patient problematics.
In the meantime, "LA SORGENTE" was ready to take off, and in 2007, me and Viviana began a new and exciting adventure by opening a new cutting-edge advance Aesthetic and Wellness center in the very central Via Roma di Chiesa in Valmalenco. We soon became Reference Figures of our respective Specializations, while Viviana developed her skills on Aesthetic Technologies by continuously investing in last generation advance equipment, I achieved the Sanitary Treatment Certification (recognised by the Italian Health National Institution) obtaining the Massotherapies’ Diploma.
The certification includes the specialisation in delivering treatments, with and without medical prescription, adding the centre's services aimed at the prevention and rehabilitation of pathological conditions.
