What unique products or services do you offer:

I've been developing Dolphin Dance since 1995. It includes the Pod Experience, a combination of dance, partnering and contact improvisation with underwater music, that I've been leading weekly at Kalani's watsu pool as an open group activity.

It has been an amazing adventure, with hundreds of people from all over the world having Dolphin Danced with me over the years, many saying it was a life-changing event and many group leaders every year requesting the Pod Experience for their group, because it is so cathartic. I also lead it for couples. Several participants went off and started their own spin-off experiences and groups.

Since 1998 I've also created multi-media performances with aquatic contact and underwater partnering, in a life-long exploration as a dancer and a healer that has led me through 6 years of Medical School in Italy, 2500 hours of aquatic bodywork courses, study and practice of breathwork, energetic healing, massage, alternative psychology, as well as professional performing of Ballet, Modern Dance, Aerial Dance, Acrobatics and Dance, and my expansion into Dolphin Dance.

I transmit my exploration in four intensives, two of which focus on intuitive work: Dolphin Dance Creative Journey and Dolphin Dance Quantum Healing (that teaches a combination of Emotional Freedom Technique and unwinding above and under water).
The other two classes, Dolphin Dance Above and Dolphin Dance Below, teach the moves of a Dolphin Dance session above and underwater, a combination of dance, Deep Tissue, Shiatsu, Cranial-Sacral and Reiki on the surface and under water with an individual passive receiver.

The journey continues, with many elements intertwining, including creating specific sessions to heal the discomfort in water joining Emotional Freedom Technique and subaquatic dance, in which near drowning or scary water experiences are processed and healed in usually one and a half hours.

I've been developing Quantum Leap Healing since 1993, combining Aquatic, Energetic, land-based massage, EFT and alternative psychotherapy modalities.
