About me

Bc. Věra Barnová

I first encountered shiatsu in 2015 as a client and from the beginning I was fascinated by the depth and healing power of the technique. Under the guidance of my first teacher, Petr Jansa, I delved deeper into the technique from my position as a practitioner in the Shiatsu for Joy workshops and I decided to pursue shiatsu professionally in 2021. I completed my three-year studies at the Shiatsu School in 2024.

I am fascinated by the workings of the human body and its connection to the mind and emotions, as well as exploring the forces that influence our lives. I seek to explore the world within us primarily through my own work with the body. To thise days, I draw on my lifelong passion for sports (judo, sport climbing, marathon running), and I have been profoundly influenced by the self-experiential work in Kamila Ženatá's therapy groups, as well as psychotherapy, body therapy, bioenergetic exercises and the Tibetan meditation system Kum Nye under the guidance of Alice Borská.

After graduating from the School of Shiatsu, I left my manager position at the university and decided to focus on my own therapeutic practice of shiatsu, which fulfills me and is my "professional Ikigai".
