About this Retreat
Massage Therapist and Tantric Facilitator.
I grew up in Australia however I am currently based in Berlin. I am trained in Hawaiian massage and have my own practice in Berlin. I also offer a couple of massage workshops and reiki energy healing.
I am very passionate about energy work and bodywork which led me to become a Tantra facilitator this year. Tantra is a way of living from the heart and listening to your body. It is also about finding a balance between your masculine and feminine energies and bringing the unconscious mind consciously. Through Tantric embodiment exercises, a person will be able to shift energy bringing their body into harmony. I believe everyone can heal themselves - it must start by tuning into your body.
At the retreat I will hold space for a few different embodiment practices that will help everyone to move any stuck energy, allowing more room for self-love and feeling more alive in their beautiful body temple!
Mariana resides in Australia and completed her Kahuna massage training at Mettes Institute. Her artistic talents extend worldwide as a cellist, and painting while she plays resonates deeply with the soul.
Yoga Teacher Hatha Yoga, Yin Yoga and Restorative Yoga classes. All lessons are adapted to your needs and level.
I was born in Mexico and lived there for 20 years before moving to Montreal and finally settling in France 4 years ago. After being a semi-professional classical dancer, yoga came into my life about ten years ago.After years of practice, I decided to make it my professional activity and so I took a 200-hour training course in order to be able to teach. Since then, I am also a specialist in Ayurvedic medicine and certified Reiki I, II and III master.
Today yoga, meditation and mindfulness have changed my outlook on life. I learned to let go, to listen to my body and my intuition and enjoy the present moment. I look forward to meeting you all on the retreat.
