Healing Art is shaped through the meeting and merging of different somatic practices, healing arts, bodywork, breath, movement and exploratory inquiry. The work is grounded in many years of professional training, personal healing and artistic exploration. It brings clear guidance and deep attention into relationship, allowing each process to respond to the person and what is present. Explore the person and practices behind the work.
Meet Giulio
A life devoted to the body, healing and transformation
Since 1999, Giulio’s work has developed through sustained study, personal healing, artistic research and embodied practice. What he offers today is not a fixed method, but the integration of a life spent exploring how the body holds experience and how attention, relationship and creativity can open possibilities for change.
Rather than approaching healing through a single system, he has developed a practice informed by physical structure, breath, movement, nervous system awareness, emotional experience, relationship and contemplative inquiry.
Professional formation in the healing arts
Giulio began his formal studies in naturopathy at the Libera Università Italiana di Naturopatia. His education included anatomy, reflexology, iridology, phytotherapy, hydrotherapy and Bach Flower Remedies.
His subsequent professional training has included Biodynamic Breathwork and Trauma Release, Myofascial Energetic Release, Integrative Gestalt Coaching, Deep Bodywork and an intensive month long Esalen Massage training in Bali.
Through these different systems, he has studied how breath and movement affect sensation and emotional experience, how fascia and muscular holding shape the body, how touch can support regulation, awareness and physical change and how dialogue and relationship can make embodied patterns more visible.
His formation remains ongoing through advanced training, retreats and sustained personal practice.
Lived and contemplative experience
Giulio’s understanding of healing is also shaped by his personal experience of living with scoliosis and moving through depression. These experiences transformed healing from an attempt to correct the body into a practice of entering into relationship with it.
Long term practices of meditation and tantra have deepened his embodied relationship with attention, intensity, intimacy and surrender.
Sustained participation in Amazonian ceremonial traditions has further shaped how he listens, remains grounded in unfamiliar or intense experiences and respects what may need time before it can be understood or take form.
Artistic foundations
Giulio’s interest in the body’s capacity for healing gradually extended beyond anatomy and physical treatment. He began to explore the body as a complex human phenomenon where physical structure, personal history, emotion, relationship and imagination meet. This inquiry led him towards movement and the transformative possibilities of artistic expression through the body.
He trained in dance and choreography at the School for New Dance Development at the Amsterdam University of the Arts, a programme centred on experimental movement research and independent artistic practice.
His choreographic research asked how lived experience takes form through the body, and how a healing process might be perceived and shaped as a work of art. His productions explored ageing, disability, Parkinson’s and intimacy through performers with diverse bodies and physical abilities, and through real life relationships between father and son and mother and daughter.
Giulio’s exploration of healing as a creative act became a defining thread within his choreographic work. This approach brought his productions to international stages and received the Premio Equilibrio Roma, the Dioraphte Dance Prize and the Dutch Dance Days Maastricht Award.
The same artistic inquiry now lies at the heart of Healing Art Studio. It informs Giulio’s capacity to allow complex abstract processes to unfold while remaining anchored in the reality of physical structure, supporting each individual process in finding a coherent form.
The quality of the work
Rather than deciding in advance what a session should become, Giulio listens for where the work is alive and responds with precision, clear guidance and respect for the pace of the person before him.
His intention is to bring his experience and perception into the session without assuming that one method, interpretation or direction is right for every person.
Methods
The methods are selected according to your needs and intention and discussed together at the beginning of the session. A process may be led primarily through touch, breath, movement, dialogue or attentive stillness, or move among different forms of practice as it develops.
Biodynamic Breathwork and Trauma Release
Biodynamic Breathwork and Trauma Release brings together breath, movement, sound, touch, emotional expression and meditation.
The charge created through the breath offers a direct pathway into sensation, vitality and emotional experience.
This practice distinguishes itself from many other breathwork modalities through its attuned attention to the capacity of the nervous system. Conscious movement and sound invite the body to participate actively in the process, while moments of rest offer space to receive and integrate what has emerged.
This approach informs individual sessions and forms the principal foundation of the Breathwork Group Work experiences.
Myofascial Energetic Release
Myofascial Energetic Release works with fascia, muscular holding and the relationship between physical structure, sensation and emotional experience.
A body reading takes place at the beginning of the session to identify areas where the fascial system may be holding tension.
This reading integrates an understanding of the character structures developed by Wilhelm Reich with the Anatomy Trains model of the myofascial system developed by Thomas Myers.
Touch may be slow and sustained or more direct and focused. The work combines physical precision with breath, awareness and active participation.
Esalen Massage and Deep Bodywork
Esalen Massage attunes to the natural breathing pattern of the body. Long, flowing movements create continuity and invite nervous system regulation through pleasure, sensory awareness and relaxation.
Deep Bodywork uses slow, deep pressure to awaken the natural capacity of the body to release mechanical tension held within deeper physical structures.
These approaches may be experienced separately or brought together. The flowing quality of Esalen Massage and the depth and precision of Deep Bodywork allow relaxation and focused physical work to coexist within the same session.
Integrative Gestalt Coaching
Integrative Gestalt Coaching brings attention to present experience and to what becomes visible through sensation, emotion, language and relationship.
Rather than analysing an experience from a distance, the work invites direct contact with what is happening now.
Dialogue, observation and experiential exploration can reveal familiar patterns and create space for different responses.
Bach Flower Remedies
Bach Flower Remedies are a system of flower essences developed by Edward Bach.
A selection is made through conversation and attention to the emotional qualities, patterns and transitions currently present in your life.
The remedies offer a gentle form of support that may accompany a period of personal inquiry or an ongoing somatic process. They may be used independently or alongside other forms of work.
Somatic Movement and Creative Inquiry
Giulio’s professional training in somatic movement research supports his ability to recognise physical patterns, spatial relationships and emerging possibilities.
The exploration may begin with a small impulse, a change of posture or a gesture. Creativity allows these elements to develop into a form that could not have been planned in advance.
Formative studies and personal practice
The work is also indirectly informed by personal experiences and training that have shaped Giulio’s relationship with healing, attention and transformation.
- Positive Thinking training based on the work of Louise Hay
- Theta Healing
- Advanced Theta Healing
- The New Tantra, levels 1, 2, 4, 5 and 7
- The Trager Approach, levels 1 and 2
- Primal Childhood Deconditioning with Puja Lepp
- University studies in Naturopathy, including reflexology, iridology, phytotherapy, hydrotherapy and Bach Flower Remedies
- Since 2024, early studies of Tibetan Tantra with Anand Rudra
These practices are not necessarily offered as methods within a session. They form part of the wider field of experience through which Giulio’s understanding and presence have developed.
