London Blackheath & Online

Welcome

Hi, I am Chiara! I am passionate about understanding the intricate relations between mind and body and how this impacts our wellbeing.

By addressing both Eastern and Western schools of thought, I seek to find ways that can help improve our quality of life, achieve a better relationship with our body, and foster a sense of overall balance and harmony.

For over a decade, I have been helping others achieve their wellbeing goals, supporting individuals through injury, surgery & cancer rehabilitation, pregnancy and the postnatal period, always caring to create an experience that is unique to you as an individual.

Pilates & Shiatsu

As a Pilates Teacher & Shiatsu therapist I am dedicated to helping you become more aware and happier in your body through these wonderfully complementary approaches

Pilates a trusted exercise programme that:

is based on anatomical knowledge;
looks at the body mechanically;
understands how its physical parts (spine, joints, muscles etc) relate to each other;
helps you build correct posture, strength and flexibility, enhancing body awareness;
encourages control of your mind over body.

Shiatsu a hands-on massage therapy that:

is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine;
sees the body holistically;
understands how one's physical and emotional aspects relate to each other;
helps you release physical & emotional tension, rebalancing all internal organs;
encourages greater relaxation & trust.

Mindfulness

" To be aware of your body is the beginning of self love. When mind goes home to the body, the mind and body are established in the here and the now." — Thich Nhat Hanh

As a mindfulness practitioner myself, I have long found refuge and inspiration in the teachings of zen masterThich Nhat Hanh. After visiting his Buddhist Monastery in France in 2015, I had the honour to be invited back to offer Pilates classes to its monks and lay practitioners. An experience I cherish to this day, which further inspired my personal practice and shaped my teaching, as I integrate mindfulness elements in all my offerings.

I have long enjoyed Pilates with Chiara, she is such a joyous teacher, with a wonderful gentle calming voice and persona. I have severe spinal stenosis, and after recent surgery on my spine, I needed expert help in my recovery, under Chiara’s expertise providing me with 1-1 Pilates sessions, and shiatsu therapy I am overjoyed at the results and how far I have come, my back is getting stronger, and I’m recovering more than I could ever have imagined. I trust her implicitly.
