The Touch of Presence

Cátia brings over a decade of dedicated study and practice in the art of healing touch, grounded in her original training as an Occupational Therapist and shaped by years of advanced bodywork training across Thailand, India, Germany, and Greece. Her journey began in 2010 in Thailand with the renowned Sunshine Network, where she immersed herself in Thai Yoga Massage before going on to qualify as a certified practitioner in 2013. Since then, she has expanded her expertise through studies in Osteopathy, Craniosacral Therapy, Biomagnetism, and bioenergetic work, alongside complementary practices such as Tok Sen, Moxibustion, herbal compress therapy, and Hatha and Yin Yoga rooted in Daoist traditions.

What sets Cátia apart is not just the breadth of her training, but the depth of her approach. Her work is a refined, intuitive integration of structure, sensitivity, and presence — combining osteopathic understanding with fluid, floor-based techniques and subtle energetic awareness. Known for her deeply attuned, compassionate touch, she creates a space where the body can soften, reorganise, and return to balance. For Cátia, this work is more than technique — it is a “spiritual dance of surrender,” a practice that honours the interconnectedness of body, mind, and energy, and supports the body’s innate capacity to heal.
