About the Teacher
Why study with them?
Yannick is a certified Shiatsu therapist and Reiki master, offering a deeply intuitive and holistic approach to bodywork. Trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine, he welcomes clients from across Portugal in his clinic, Hortus Vitae, where he integrates both ancestral and contemporary healing modalities to restore balance and vitality.
Drawing on a broad range of tools — including Shiatsu on futon or chair, Thai massage (Nuad Bo-Rarn), Reiki, and Access Bars — Yannick adapts each session to the individual’s needs. Whether to relieve chronic pain, release emotional tension, ease stress, or reconnect with the body’s natural energy flow, his work offers a space for profound realignment and inner calm.
His touch is precise and attentive, allowing the nervous system to shift from a state of tension to one of deep restoration. Sessions with Yannick are both grounding and energizing, helping to support the body's self-healing capacities on physical, emotional, and energetic levels.
