Shiatsu originated in Japan at the turn of the XXth century.

This simple, natural method involves mobilization, stretching, and applying pressure with the thumbs, hands, and knees to various parts of the body. Shiatsu activates the circulation of "ki" (vital force) and stimulates the body's natural healing powers. It helps prevent illness by maintaining a state of general well-being. Shiatsu gives a feeling of deep relaxation. Shiatsu is efficient for both emotional and physical problems.

This method restores mind-body balance, reduces stress, and promotes relaxation. It supports better sleep while helping manage depression, anxiety, emotional distress, overthinking, and interpersonal challenges.

Shiatsu may help alleviate musculoskeletal pain (back, joint, and muscular pain), neuralgic disorders, headaches and migraines, digestive issues (including colitis), premenstrual syndrome and symptoms associated with heart failure. Shiatsu can also help relieve most of the aches and pains associated with pregnancy.

A special moment to relax and recharge your batteries. Regain harmony for a lighter and easier life, to feel good about yourself and the world around you.

"Breath is wherever life is; and just as, in the absence of breath, life fails, when breath returns it is rekindled." — (A.A.)

She gives lessons to a wide range of people of all ages —from babies to seniors, across all social classes, genders, and abilities. A practice of listening guided by intuition.

"How do you connect with yourself, with others, and with the world around you? I dance my dance."

Rather than simply teaching, Ilaira focuses on facilitating a state of being here—a space where the dance can emerge naturally. Her teaching takes place in a variety of settings: schools, cultural centers, refugee shelters, retirement homes, kindergartens, theaters, and even the street. Through movement and dance, we allow energy (KI) to flow, helping us feel more connected to ourselves, to others, and to the world. Life flows more easily this way.

APPROACH

Whether she transmits her practice to children or adults, Ilaira focuses on the same fundamental elements:

• Improvisation - Instant composition
• Do In (Japanese self-massage practice)
• Shiatsu

The direct and profound connection between body and mind, anchored in the present moment, forms the foundation of Ilaria's practice. She guides students to:

• Understand how the body functions and what it can offer. To explore its composition—skin, bones, muscles, fascia, organs, weight, breath (...)
• Develop an awareness of the relationship with space, architecture, and objects
• Explore the connection to temporality, rhythm, sound, and music.
• Engage in the relationship with oneself, others, and the group.

Ilaria believes in starting from the simple, from what is already present, without searching too far and wide. This allows for deep presence in the moment. Allowing every participant to exist by opening the space for true listening—and vice versa. Being present fosters trust, fullness, availability, the courage to act, and clarity.

Dance your own dance, the one the moment offers. We create by doing!
