About

The body is the materialisation of our experiences,  influenced by our environment, and reflecting our beliefs and emotions.

It is the result of a network of physiological responses in a refined relationship that resembles that of an orchestra.

Meet Fabiola

My “body” journey started early as I required treatment for scoliosis, which sparked both my curiosity and exposure to all things wellness and movement.

Two decades as a body therapist have seen me through a number of massage courses, as well as physiotherapy degree in Brazil.  I often resort to reflexology as a therapeutic tool.

Muscular Chains edified my knowledge about the relationship between the muscles that work together and support each other.

Bertazzo’s Method offers me inspiration everyday.

Diplomas on psychosomatic studies (Morphoanalysis) define my frame of work. I provide a confidential, pleasant and stimulating environment.

My treatments tailored individually, combining diverse massage techniques together with a variety of stimuli to promote body awareness through movement.

dd The objective is relaxation in strengthening, injury prevention and treatment, as well as postural improvement, alignment and awareness.

The sessions I offer provide a long-lasting effect and encourage self-management, understanding and independence.

I am a qualified physiothrapist and pilates instructor.  Alongside Tania Huddart (Hearts and Bones Pilates), I created the movement laboratory, investigating treatment approaches.  In 2014 I have written and ministered a workshop named Walking with Gravity.

I was the guest speaker at Hearts and Bones Pilates Conference in 2013, where I shared my knowledge on the GDS Muscular Chains.

I am a Bertazzo practitioner. I prioritise the correct joint function and range of movement to provide a safe and effective workout.

I recently took part in a Visceral Osteopathy course by Bernard Valentin from G.D.S Institute in Belgium.

Last October I taught a workshop named Posture in Daily Life at Kapiti’s Hot Yoga Studio.
