Alice Rigot - Shiatsu
|
Alice is French and lives in Lisbon since 2015. Although this is already the second time she lives here, after she spent the years from 1996 until 2002 to create the Lisbon Zen dojo. She met Shiatsu through the practice of Zen meditation and had the chance to meet a great Japanese master, Sasaki Sensei, a disciple of Matsunaga Sensei, founder of the Iokai Shiatsu Academy, with whom she studied the art of shiatsu in the traditional Japanese way. The important point in Iokai Shiatsu is how to get in touch with the human. Shiatsu is for her more than a professional practice, it allows to understand the human, to understand the other and to understand oneself because it engages the psycho-physical globality (mind-body) of the practitioner (shiatsushi) and the receiver (jusha).

Anna Grabner - Voice Movement Therapy
|
Move, Sound, Sing, Release!
On leaving her Austrian roots behind after nearly three decades, Anna moved closer to the ocean, to Portugal, in 2011. With a passion for music (voice, piano, songwriting) and a background as a practicing psychologist, she was drawn to the idea of linking the two fields and found an inspiring match in voice movement therapy (VMT). Eager to learn more about this body oriented voice work, she travelled to South Africa in 2012, where she completed the VMT foundation training in 2013. As a registered voice movement therapy practitioner (VMTR), Anna has found that the playful nature of VMT encourages people to unfold their personal stories in guided voice movement journeys. In her individual sessions she assists her clients in connecting with their authenticity through movement and voice, inviting them to create their own little poems and life songs. She also runs weekly groups indoors, providing a safe playground for profound and creative self-expression. Motivated by the beautiful coastline of Lisbon, she regularly takes people to the waterfront to explore their inner voice and movement in her beach sessions “Dance with your shadow and sound with the ocean". She recently discovered the beauty of thai yoga massage, which she is beginning to integrate into her body-oriented voice work. Moreover, since becoming a mother she has begun offering prenatal singing classes and accompanying women and couples in preparation for birth. She feels deeply about supporting mothers in their newly found role and therefore created “sisterhood song circles”, a safe and empowering space where women can meet regularly to share their experiences in song and dance.

Depois de quase três décadas na montanhosa Áustria, Anna abraçou o oceano de Portugal em 2011. Apaixonada pela música (canto, piano e composição) e com formação profissional em Psicologia encontrou na VMT, a combinação perfeita nas duas áreas de vocação. Motivada em aprender mais sobre a sua nova descoberta viajou até a Africa do Sul em 2012. Integrando um curso prático de VMT na “International Association of Voice Movement Therapy”, oficializando a sua formação. Como terapeuta credenciada em Terapia da Voz e Movimento, Anna descobriu a natureza recreativa da VMT, onde através de viagens guiadas ajuda as pessoas a revelar as suas histórias pessoais. Nas suas sessões individuais Anna guia-o de modo a conectar-se com o seu verdadeiro “eu”, através da criação de poemas e canções que retratam a narrativa da sua vida. Também organiza sessões de grupo regulares, criando uma onda profunda de criação lúdica em ambiente seguro e descontraído. Motivada pelo som da bela e extensa costa portuguesa regularmente a usa como objecto de inspiração. Através de sessões na praia onde a exploração vocal e corporal é acompanhada pelas ondas e o toque da areia: “Dança com a tua sombra e canta com o oceano”. Recentemente descobriu a Massagem Thai Yoga onde pretende integrá-la na vertente de expressão e conhecimento corporal da VMT. Pessoalmente, a sua recente aventura na maternidade orientou o seu trabalho de VMT para sessões de canto pré-natal e acompanhamento de casais e mulheres na preparação para o parto. Apoia as mães durante a descoberta desta nova identidade, criando círculos de irmandade vocal, de modo a formar um espaço seguro e de poder no feminino onde as mulheres podem partilhar sua experiência e incertezas através da música e da dança.

Catarina Guimaraes - Reiki
