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".
