I am a qualified massage therapist and instructor. I graduated from physiotherapy at the Academy of Physical Education with a specialization in massage and fitness.
In 2005 I found a practitioner of Lomi Lomi Nui – the Hawaiian form of a massage. After the massage session, I felt that I had to learn more about this type of massage because of the way it made me feel. I‘ve never felt that relaxed in my entire life. As soon as possible, I joined a workshop run by Susan Pa’iniu Floyd from Hawaii (2006) and a workshop run by Danuta and Jerzy Adamczyk. That was when my journey began.
After years of massage practice of all classic techniques such as Swedish massage, lymphatic massage, therapeutic holistic massage, I finally became a LOMI LOMI NUI Instructor in 2009. Since then, my life has transformed into a different level of understanding of the body and the human soul. I learned day by day how to trust intuition more than the mind. In 2014 I had visited my teacher on Big Island. I reconnect strongly with the land of Hawaii and the spirit of the old masters. The knowledge of Hawaiian people always amazed me. I keep on practicing their philosophy called Huna and dancing powerful Hula.
Now I live on the small island of Gozo with my lovely partner Corrado and our beautiful daughter Sheela.
Life is a Dream so I decided to dream My Life

I am a qualified Lomi Lomi Nui massage therapist, TaiJi teacher, and regular yoga practitioner.
I have spent the last 20 years dancing on my piano’s black & white keys, as an ecstatic music composer. I have perfected breathing techniques of pranayama and qigong, modeling my body on yoga asanas and refining the slow and harmonious movements of my body through the Taiji dance. Now, I fuse all of these teachings together and bring the power and playfulness of these elements to my clients.
When I was introduced to the Lomi Lomi massage for the first time, I immediately realized that it was not a “simple” massage but something more complex and rich. That it is an art form in which dance, music, breathing, harmony between slow and fast movements and also a connection with the forces of nature and of the human being. All of this is interconnected to create “the Lomi Lomi experience”. I was fortunate to study this fantastic discipline with Magdalena, an exceptional teacher. She is endowed with extraordinary sensitivity, knowledge and power. During the last four years, I have had the privilege to collaborate with her in this wonderful project called “Art of Touch”, created to bring mental and physical wellbeing and to increase the awareness of the magical power dwelling in each of us.
The Universe is dancing, at every moment, without respite, breathing in and out, creating and transforming…. The Lomi Lomi massage is here to remind us of this and to reconnect us with this magnificent cosmic dance!
