When we are sick or in pain the cells of our body in that area are out of alignment. Placing magnets on the body in specific places redirects the currents of energy running in the body and can have a profound healing effect. There are over 300 established pairs of magnet positions that alleviate the symptoms of physical, emotional and mental pain. This in person session comprises of a full assessment where I measure the strength of the magnetic fields in your body by looking at muscle and nerve length. Once I have established which fields require re-balancing I place pairs of magnets on your body for a specific period of time to correct the magnetic field strenghts. Often symptoms are immediately eliviated.

Biodanza is a system of human integration, organic renewal, emotional re-education and relearning of the original functions of life. In other words, it is a system of personal growth oriented to the study and strengthening of the expression of human potentials through music, movement, group affective communication exercises and integrative experiences. The sessions are made up of a small theoretical part in which we share our feelings through words and a series of “dance-exercises”, the whole of which we call experience. These dances, accompanied by rigorously selected music and practiced regularly, allow participants to enter into regenerative processes that enhance their health, as well as states of harmony and growth, in short, the integral well-being of the person. ​

Etymologically, Biodanza means “the Dance of Life”, understanding dance as movement full of meaning. These dances have a symbolic meaning about our lives and have the ability to modify our “existential dance.” They are reflected in our daily activities, our style and quality of life, as well as in our relationships. Biodanza incorporates into our existential dance primary movements, often forgotten, and the emotion that links us with ourselves, with others and with nature, creating an integrative experience that reinforces organic, psychic, mental and emotional balance
