I’ve spent over 20 years working with the body, not just as a structure, but as a living, feeling system shaped by experience. My work is influenced by Movement Shiatsu, Taoist philosophy, and a deep respect for how the body holds and expresses life. I created Heartfelt Hands as a space where people can feel safe, be listened to, and experience real change. My first contact with Shiatsu was in an introductory workshop back in 2003 at the Zen Shiatsu school here in London. That day changed my life forever because on that morning I was feeling really sad, I was crying all the way going from Brentford, where I used to live, to Old Street, where the workshop was. I was grieving after a breakup, situation that was really hard for me to handle emotionally, I felt really sad and I can say now that my teacher Megan also felt my gloomy vibe. She asked me to lay in the futon placed in the middle of the room, on supine ( facing up). I was so excited and curious!, I laid there and she placed her hands on my solar plexus area, in the middle of my chest, she stayed there touching me with her fingertips and a serene smile around 5 minutes, I remember me, with my eyes closed and trying to open my eyes a little to see what she was doing, when she finished, all the sadness I was feeling was gone! It was like a ver heavy rock was lifted off me, I couldn’t believe it, and on top of it I felt very very happy instead, it was joy, the joy of relief. This is how I learnt that emotions live in our organs, and I learnt too that I prefer to have a experience in order to learn something. It is so different! and you never forget it. You embody it, the same way trauma gets embodied when you go through it. Funnily enough I suffered most of my life with asthma and respiratory problems, I don’t anymore after studying and practicing Chinese medicine through Shiatsu. I am now a Movement Shiatsu practitioner and part of the teaching team at The School for Experiential Education (https://seed.org/RuthPatrizzi/) Shamanic Practitioner, Tantra Practitioner, NLP practitioner, Taoism practitioner from the Universal Tao from Mantak Chia , Reiki Master, Moon Mother from Miranda Grey ®️Womb Blessing system and Sports massage therapist always evolving and developing my passion. After 8 years my dad fell ill and during his last days I took care of him, opening my heart to our vulnerability when our bodies don’t function as usual, this situation helped me to then work with people with disabilities here in London UK where I currently live with my family.
