Alchemy of Touch Massage Specialist
Ismael is currently not working at Waterloo Body Station but when he returns we will publish his availability on the website and on our socials.
Greetings, my name is Ismael.
I offer beautiful transformational bodywork called Alchemy of Touchâ„¢. This is a combination of techniques that allows me to work on your physical and energetic body simultaneously.
It is an incredibly powerful, yet gentle and nurturing form of bodywork. I work intuitively and with great respect for each individual's process.
This allows the body to enter a deeper state of relaxation and helps to restore balance and harmony within. Each session is an opportunity to experience greater levels of well-being and self-care.
How did I become an Alchemy of Touch practitioner?
I was raised in a small traditional town in northern Spain where being a queer child wasn't easy. I had to find ways to cope with the feeling of not belonging and the fear of being judged by the people around me. Caring for animals provided me with a sense of purpose and a way to express my love and compassion. It was a safe outlet for me to express myself and provided me with the motivation to pursue a career in veterinary medicine.
I moved to England very early on in my career, due to my inner sense of adventure and the need to experience something new. Here is where I started my yoga journey and I discovered the importance of a strong connection between the mind and the body. The truth is, although I had been passionately practicing yoga for years, I developed anxiety just before I enrolled in a teacher training program.
As much as I feared anxiety would take me to a dark place, it eventually led me on a journey of self-discovery that included not only traditional cognitive therapy but also energy healing, tantra, sound journeys, ecstatic dances, active meditation, etc. A short time later, I was able to take a sabbatical in Southeast Asia, where I trained in energy work and planted the seeds for my training in transformational bodywork.
My love language is physical touch, which provides a powerful means of connecting with people and offers tremendous health benefits in the process. This, combined with my interest in bodywork as a means of transforming the mind, led to me completing my training with the Alchemy of Touch Academy in June 2022. This is a form of bodywork I am passionate about and would be delighted to share with you.
