I'm Bart Conterio, specialist in "Extended Holistic Massages" for women's well-being.

What makes each of my sessions a truly unique and extraordinary experience, difficult to find in other parts of the world, is the extended duration of the massage: 3 hours of duration of the massage alone (3 hours intended as uninterrupted massage "hands-on") for deep, complete and lasting well-being.

A 3-hour sensorial massage, capable of instilling particular emotions in a woman, that profoundly influence her state of mind , in the days and weeks following and that adapts to the needs of the woman at a given moment, based on the emotional and bioenergetic state.

After a mindfulness TOUCH® session, women say they feel more alive, more serene, in perfect psychophysical peace and harmony and more connected with themselves: some of my clients have compared their state of psychophysical well-being, after a 3-hour mindfulness TOUCH® session, to "a holiday weekend without the stress of travel".

INCLUDES

towel, slippers and disposable thong panties

WHAT TO EXPECT

I'm BART CONTERIO, Mind-Body Therapist and the sensorial experience that I propose is a Holistic Extended massage session integrated with a Mindfulness practice, specifically designed for the psycho-physical and emotional well-being of Women.
Mindfulness TOUCH® it's a holistic session that I personally designed (registered trademark) and represents a "unique" experience of its kind due to its extraordinary duration: 3 hours (hands-on).
This long duration of the massage allows you to have the benefits
also in the following days.
While Mindfulness makes the mind attentive, open and sensitive, a "psychosomatic and emotional" massage with an empathic, aware, delicate and welcoming touch, characterized by fluid movements slow and enveloping, it calms psycho-emotional tensions and promotes a state of deep relaxation.
the massage affects the whole body, both in the prone and supine position (Full Body).
The massage is carried out on a table, in an environment with an extremely relaxing atmosphere and in absolute calm and tranquility, using natural oils.
It's much more than a relaxing break: is a long "experiential journey" that helps the woman to perceive an infinite number of sensations
