My Journey of Becoming a Healer

By Paola

My spiritual journey began in my motherland, where the lush landscapes and vibrant cultures sparked an early curiosity within me. I always felt a deep connection to the world around me—nature, people, and energy—and this connection led me to explore the profound realms of healing and spirituality. It wasn’t long before I realized that I was destined to follow this path, one that would take me far from home and open me up to ancient wisdom and transformative experiences.

The turning point came when I decided to take a leap of faith and travel to Asia—a continent where centuries-old traditions blend seamlessly with modern life. My time in Asia was not just a physical journey, but a deep inner exploration that would reshape my life and career. It was here, across the sacred lands of Tibet, Japan, and Thailand, that I immersed myself in the teachings that would become the foundation of my healing practice today.

In my travels through South asia and Thailand, I discovered the profound connection between sound, movement, and healing. Near the Tibet, I learned the art of Tibetan singing bowls, where the resonant vibrations of each bowl reached deep into the body, releasing emotional and spiritual blockages. This form of sound healing became a way to restore harmony within, touching both the physical and spiritual realms.

My journey continued to Thailand, where I immersed myself in Thai massage, a practice rooted in the movement of energy through “Sen lines.” The dynamic stretches and acupressure techniques of Thai massage worked hand-in-hand with the sound healing I'd learned in Tibet, creating a holistic approach to restoring energy flow. Together, these ancient techniques helped me understand that healing is not just about the body but about nurturing the spirit and mind, releasing tension, and reawakening balance.

Asia became the crucible where my calling was forged. Each country, each tradition, and each experience added another layer to my understanding of healing. What began as a personal quest for knowledge became a mission to share these ancient practices with others. Now, as a healer and therapist, I integrate the wisdom of Tibetan sound healing, Japanese shiatsu, and Thai massage into my practice, creating a holistic approach that addresses the body, mind, and spirit as one interconnected system.

I carried with me the richness of these traditions, honoring their origins while blending them with my own intuitive practice. Eventually, my journey brought me to New York City, a place known for its relentless pace and vibrant energy. Here, my mission is to help others find balance amidst the movement and intensity of city life. Whether through the soothing vibrations of a Tibetan singing bowl, the gentle pressure of shiatsu, or the flowing movements of Thai massage, my goal is to create a sanctuary where the tranquility of ancient healing can meet the dynamic rhythm of modern life. In this bustling metropolis, I strive to guide my clients toward inner peace, helping them cultivate harmony within themselves, no matter how chaotic the world around them may seem.
