Testimonials from clients

"Now, after 20 years working on the body through Shiatsu, combining pressure points, meridians and soft energy healing, I am now very interested in energy medicine and in the potential of the biofield for healing. The Biofield is the energy field around the person, which seems to contain the frozen memories and traumas that remain unconscious and limit healing. Having experienced the healing in myself with profound shifts, I am committed to offer the gift of healing to others. As I follow my deep intuition, the modalities I am now practicing found their own flow and combinations, and are very effective in trauma healing and many physical and mind conditions. Also the discovery of the possibility to do these treatments remotely, safely and so effectivelly, even in times of isolation, took me into a new level of devellopment as a healer. I am very interested in the connection between emotion and energy, how it manifests in the body and how energy medicine can open up new hope and possibilities." (Claudia)

Background

Claudia was an award winning film director working in the film industry in Portugal when she discovered Shiatsu, first as a receiver. As this experience had such a positive impact in her life and health, she decided to study it to give it back. Claudia studied Anma-Seitai Shiatsu at Portuguese Association of Seitai-Shiatsu Therapy of Lisbon with Dr. Mitsuharu Tsuchiya and finished her course in 2003 when she was 30 years old. She started a successful Shiatsu practice in Lisbon with a focus in supporting people reconnecting with their body-mind, doing weekly sessions, as a complement of their Bioenergetic therapy. Having moved to America in 2005 and then to London in 2007, she kept her practice as a part-time, while still working on film projects and over the years she studied other forms of Shiatsu (Zen Shiatsu, Seiki) and Jikiden Reiki. In recent years her healing arts took the foreground, deepened and expanded, and she works full time in this area now, while doing some personal film projects and sharing her life experiences and knowleged through books.

Claudia has been a student of Thomas Hübl (trauma, collective trauma, meditation and attunement) since 2019 and she studied with Dr Arielle Schwartz, completing her course 'Beyond trauma' about post-traumatic growth and resilience. In 2020-21 Claudia completed an experiential 9 months course on Collective trauma on women, at Pocket Project/ Thomas Hübl, and 3 courses on Sound healing with Tuning forks, with Dr John Beaulieu (tuning the human body and nervous system) and Eileen Mckusik (biofield tuning). Recently she completed a course with Richard Gordon, the founder of Quantum-Touch and a The spirit of Tibetan Bowls, with Kat Bumbul at Sound Mysterium in London. She loves learning and researching, always seeking new approaches for effective healing.

For a few years Claudia lived in the South Coast of England where she worked in Brighton (at The tree of life centre and Purnima Therapies) and continued her practice, immersed in Nature, in the South Downs, where she lived in harmony with Nature. There, she completed her book 'Travelling like clouds' and wrote her next book 'The depths of stillness'. During the pandemic, Claudia worked mainly remotely through distant treatments, effectively supporting people in different parts of the world. She was also part of the team of healers Reiki Medic-Care giving distant Reiki to NHS doctors and nurses during the pandemic. 

Over the years Claudia has been supporting people with physical issues and mental health issues, with a particular focus on pain, burnout, anxiety and trauma, to empower people to be more fully in their bodies and find more joy. Her clients include psycho-therapists, healers, nurses and carers, as well as highly sensitive people, artists, writers, dancers, film editors, office workers and people of diverse backgrounds. 

After a deep & long Soul journey where she lived a nomad life and spent long periods living off-grid immersed in Nature, in 2022, Claudia re-located to London to offer her gifts more fully. She is working at Walk in Backrub in central London and she works in depth with clients privately, in person and remotely, offering profound and unique sessions that are trauma-informed and particularly tailored for each person. 

Self healing

Claudia has been working with highly sensitive people who due to extreme sensitivity are often challenged physically and emotionally. Claudia is herself an intuitive-sensitive and empath who found ways to claim her gift of sensitivity and healed herself from many long term health issues (such as chronic pain, fatigue and fibromyalgia), and overcame serious life challenges, that included recovering from a heart operation and stroke where she had to relearn how to walk, the loss of her partner to cancer, housing issues, trauma and PTSD. 

Through her own personal experiences, her research, her studies, and deep compassion, she gained a wide perspective, dedicating herself to develloping her very own intuitive approach to healing. 

In 2024 she went through cancer tests. That was for sure a scary road, but unexpectetly this opened up a new gateway and a new level of self healing unfolded with upgrades of her healing skills; through a process of surrendering and opening up to Spirit, a quantum leap was possible.

"I worked on myself day and night, every single day, with all the healing modalities I know of and even invented new methods. I also asked for help from other healers, humans and spirit beings. For the past 6 years I took responsability for my own health and never been to a GP or any conventional medicine, always treating myself. However this time I couldn't quite figure out something and an ultrasound showed indeed several internal growths. The experience of surrendering, facing mortality, and at the same time, becoming the Creator of my own reality, taking responsability for my own health and healing, was a new breakthrough and turning point. It made me understand that a state of being and Energy Healing can create, not only a transformation of consciousness, but can indeed shift and change matter in the 3D reality. I don't think there was even cancer in the first place, but the polyps and things disappeared through energy healing. That was a very humbling process, with equal doses of fear and bliss."
