“My sessions with Spomenka are like coming home. Coming home to my body and to a sense of peace. Each session is beautifully, uniquely different, and Spomenka meets me in the places I need to heal and restore. She is deeply intuitive to what needs releasing, what needs to flow again; her calming presence and quiet wisdom creates a space where it is safe to let go and receive. Seeing Spomenka for regular shiatsu in her gorgeous cabin, right below the great mountain of Cnicht, is my gift to myself. Her shiatsu restores me and brings me home to myself.”
– Eve Goodman, Singer-Songwriter
“Spomenka is an absolute treasure. Shiatsu with her is like being in both a laboratory and a sanctuary for your body at the same time. Her intuitive touch brings you to a place of healing and deep knowing, conversation with her afterwards confirms this as she draws out from the session essential lessons which point you on the path to dynamic health. Our bodies hold old stories and habitual feelings as well as our hopes and potential, Spomenka, in her sessions, listens through her touch to all of those and brings them vividly to consciousness, so that which needs to be healed can be healed, that which no longer serves can be let go and body and mind can find ever fuller expression. She has a wonderful ability of holding silence and space so you feel able to sink into the session in total trust that she is there 100% for you. For me the session is only the start of a greater unraveling of my potential for health as she leaves you with phrases, thoughts and ideas to work on between sessions. Each session has ended with me feeling both gently guided closer to who I truly am and further from all that holds me back from the gloriousness of being alive and fully human. Huge thanks dear Spomenka, you have alchemy in your hands.”
– Elizabeth Elliot, Retreat Centre Manager
“I try and make sure I have a session with Spomenka whenever I am in the area. I love the space she has cultivated, and the dedicated practice and devotion that are the foundation of what she offers. I feel completely safe in her hands, so I can relax into a deep inner journey that is unique each time. Some of the time I am conscious, and some of the time I drift into a deep rest. My whole being feels re-tuned by the end of the session. In her work is science, art and grace. There’s space to be with whatever is there in me, without any judgement or requirement. It’s deeply compassionate and draws on a mature and rich practice. I recommend this work to anyone and am delighted that this website will enable her to be more widely known.”

“On one level, Spomenka offers an exquisite form of massage/bodywork that leaves you refreshed and invigorated. But over time it builds up into a powerful physical, psychological and spiritual healing – well-being with heart!”
– Lindsey Colbourn, Sustainable Development Consultant, Government Advisor
“I’ve been to Spomenka for many years now – and the experience is always wonderful. The surroundings are so beautiful and peaceful – they are healing in themselves. Spomenka has a way of practising her shiatsu that seems to be very original and skilful. She gets into the painful places and somehow eases the knots and tension – so when she finishes I always feel as if I have experienced something both enjoyable and helpful.”
– Trish Bartley, Mindfulness Teacher
“I am 65 years old and I have known Spomenka for nearly twenty years and I have been a Shiatsu client of hers over the past few years. She has solved many of my problems mostly back related. I find sessions with her not only ease my aches and pains but also calm my inner self and leave me feeling relaxed and at peace.
Spomenka has a wonderful technique in that she is able to seek out trouble spots without prompting and deal with them in a way that I feel puts my whole body in balance and invigorated. I have recommended Spomenka to many of my friends and relatives.”
