About Alice
My Philosophy
My practice is built on a core belief: Eastern medicine is a powerful tool for prevention. I see Shiatsu not just as relaxation, but as an essential complement to traditional healthcare—a way to address imbalances and release energy blockages before they manifest as illness, restoring the body’s natural harmony.
30+ Years of Practice • Session in Portuguese, English and French • Specialities: Shiatsu, Seiki, Do-in

My Expertise
My touch is grounded in rigorous training, a five-year intensive study of traditional Shiatsu teachings. Beyond the fundamentals, I have developed deep expertise in complementary practices like Do-In and Seiki, allowing me to adapt every session to exactly what your system needs in that moment.
My Journey
For over three decades, this passion has driven my work. Before settling in Lisbon, where my heart truly lies, I ran a successful practice in Luxembourg for many years. Today, I continue to support a loyal client base across Europe, occasionally returning to Paris to treat long-standing clients.

Ki is considered the life force within each of us, driving the vital organs and our energy levels. It follows meridians and the access points are called tsubos.
Recharging the meridians with Ki can initiate deep healing of the mind and body, releasing pain, tension and associated symptoms.
Shiatsu is a treatment based on the knowledge of of Chinese medicine. Like accupuncture, shiatsu uses the body's energy points to restore lost balance and regain healing power.
By applying pressure with the hands, thumbs and elbows to points on the body, shiatsu works on the person's energy, as well as stretching and mobilizing joints.
Seiki
making space for energy,
opening and allowing,
fully inhabiting our entire body.
Why aren't we always completely at ease in our bodies?
Why do we sometimes experience emotions that block us, preventing us from enjoying life, even when we "should" be happy?
Because emotions are energy. To feel alive, our energy must flow freely. The nature of energy is movement.
For various reasons—difficult emotional experiences, falls, accidents, illnesses—certain areas of our body can become rigid. These blockages create knots and tensions that hinder us physically, emotionally, and mentally. These areas become "uninhabited" parts of us, where life is frozen, because we no longer know how to access them or because it frightens us.
As its founder, Kishi Akinobu, said:
“My technique is not a technique.”This is an intuitive technique of ‘Doing by not doing’, or “Wei wu Wei”, the art of waiting, of making a diagnosis without asking questions (Fu Mon Shin). Learn more about Kishi Akinobu.
Seiki energy is the original energy of life. It flows naturally through our bodies. During a Seiki session, the practitioner uses their own energy to create resonance and provide the necessary space for the release of blockages.
The goal: to reconnect with our body as a whole, restore unity, and rediscover our vital energy. This rekindles the desire to live and allows us to fully realize our potential.
Life would be meaningless if it were created to be a burden.
Healing process
If a child falls and hurts himself, he will take comfort in the arms of his parents or his carer, perhaps cry loudly then return to play as if nothing had happened.
At this age, a child is still in touch with his ki energy. No deep tension blocks the flow and through the act of receiving comfort and reassurance, his ki energy resumes and self-healing occurs.
Traumas arise when physical and emotional shocks have not been acknowledged and the body has not been able to self-heal, building up tension.
Over time, additional shocks and tensions accumulate and the body is increasingly less able to self-heal. It becomes more and more difficult for this life force to circulate within the body. These deep tensions can create chronic pain and lead to illness.
Shiatsu pressure allows us to awaken this dormant life energy within. Over a series of sessions, tensions are released and traumas alleviated. The number of sessions required varies as we are all unique, each with own rhythm and personality but the sense of self-healing begins immediately.
