My story
Javiera – Thai Massage in Nürnberg
The body has always been my first place of meeting with myself.
Movement and the body have always been a meeting point with myself, while a deep curiosity about ancient wisdom and its mysteries has been a heartfelt calling. Over time, these paths came together to form what I now call Grounding Bodywork.
My path has been shaped by different chapters of my life. I spent ten years as a dancer, exploring the language of the body through movement. At the same time, I attended a high school with technical studies in gastronomy, where I first discovered the relationship between food, nourishment, and well-being.
After finishing school, my work experiences led me to study aesthetics, opening the door to the world of massage therapy.
After a few years, my body simply said: enough. Despite visiting different doctors and trying various treatments, nothing seemed to bring lasting well-being.
That moment became a turning point. I began studying ancient wisdom traditions, including Thai massage and Ayurveda, gradually weaving these teachings together with my previous experiences in movement, cooking, and bodywork.
Little by little, this integration began to take shape. Over time, it blossomed into what I now share as Grounding Bodywork.
Welcome back to the root.
