Pushpa and the Art of Rebalancing Massage

Meet Pushpa, a true child of the earth, raised amidst the rolling hills of rural Tuscany near Montalcino.

Her upbringing was as unconventional as it was enriching, shaped by the influences of her bohemian painter father and her Harvard-educated mother.

From a young age, Pushpa gleaned practical wisdom from a neighbour, learning the secrets of mushroom foraging, herb recognition, and survival techniques like hunting. But it wasn't just about survival; it was about connection—to nature, to tradition, and to the rhythms of life itself.

Pushpa's journey took a pivotal turn when her spiritual grandmother, a beacon of support and belief, funded her massage course in India at the tender age of 20.

In Pune, under the guidance of revered teachers, she delved into the art of rebalancing massage and self-discovery, laying the foundation for her life's work. Since then, Pushpa has woven the threads of massage into the fabric of her existence, traveling far and wide, working with yoga groups, and engaging with luminaries in cities like New York and California. But it was her connection with students that ignited a new passion within her. Responding to their requests, Pushpa has decided to bring the magic of massage to the Transmission School as she observed firsthand the transformative power of touch during a weekend workshop in Sardinia, where 15 eager students embraced the techniques with zeal. Ten years later, she shares her expertise by leading a three-day course for the students. The participants of the Freedom To Create Residential Programme are so enthusiastic about the practice that they continue offering massages to others here at the School, gifting their newfound skills to everyone.

Who knows, they may decide to go deeper in this technique and make their own talent forward for future paths! Now, as she saw how her introductory course on touch, has brought the inherent power of our hands to bring pleasure and healing to others; with her unique blend of wisdom, experience, and intuition, she is poised to guide us on a journey of discovery—a journey where touch becomes not just a technique, but a language of connection and compassion.
