TESTIMONIALS
"I highly recommend Patrizia as a Chinese Medicine Practitioner. Having been her client for several years, I have found her treatment and care exceptional. In particular, I found the Tuina massage extremely helpful for fatigue, digestion and hormonal imbalance issues. The massage was also very restorative and relaxing. In a word: just amazing!"
Ann - Tuina Medical Massage (London)
"I've had the pleasure of trying both Patrizia's Womanessence online classes and her massage therapy. The first helped me approach everyday life with a newfound awareness of my body, from nutrition to sleeping habits. I've started making little changes that help me feel more energized and focused. I then went for a consultation and massage because of ongoing back pain. Patrizia managed to pinpoint possible triggers and also gave me the advice to alleviate the pain. The massage helped, and I'm looking forward to seeing her again."
Lilith -Acupuncture & Massage (London)
"Having had some ongoing issues with the menopause but wanting to take a more holistic approach. Surely, It was a welcome breath of fresh air to take Patrizia's online course. I found Patrizia's approach to teaching very warming and knowledgable, so much so that this led to some great pointers that I still put into practice today; I can't thank her enough."
