you are here because...
You’ve tried doing all the “right” things - but your system still feels tense, tired or on edge.
You may function well on the outside, yet inside feel overstimulated, depleted or quietly disconnected.
Perhaps you’ve done talk therapy, mindfulness, or other bodywork - helpful, but not quite touching the deeper layer where your nervous system actually unwinds and reorganizes.
Hi, I’m Christina
I am creator of Feel Free - a path devoted to helping sensitive visionaries come alive in their bodies, clarify their gifts and trust their inner world as their greatest source of power.
As a practitioner of 25 years, I dedicated myself in a 14-year apprenticeship under Wassim and Elisabeth Nehme of Green Mountain Shen in Shaftsbury, Vermont. Throughout my training, I received regular bodywork, underwent my own journey in self-discovery and eventually became a teacher and practitioner. It was Wassim and Elisabeth's gentle guidance and potent Shen that drew mine forth allowing me to become the creative protagonist of my own life.
I further deepened path and traveled to study with Dr. Pino Ferroni, PhD, creator and founder of Bioenergetic-Shen Sensitivity Training in Parma Italy. In 2016, I was awarded my Master practitioner level in Bioenergetic-Shen Sensitivity Training.
These teaching form the bedrock of my life's work.
believe me I've been there
I know what it’s like to be capable, devoted, and deeply self-aware - and still feel like regulation requires constant effort.
What changed everything for me was finding a practitioner who created the proper conditions to allow:
Slowness, so sensation could land instead of being overridden
Relational safety, so my system didn’t have to stay alert or self-manage
Time and presence, so activation could resolve into coherence rather than accumulate
Does this sound familiar?
01.
You feel “on” most of the time
Even when resting, your system doesn’t fully let go.
02.
You’re highly functional, but quietly fatigued
You manage well - yet something feels chronically taxed.
03.
You spend more time regulating than reveling.
You crave aliveness, but you never trust that you can flow with ease.
04.
You sense there’s a deeper intelligence in your body
And you want support accessing it without overriding it
This approach is for people who don’t need more stimulation - they need attuned presence and unconditional positive regard.
A calmer, more regulated nervous system
A felt sense of settling, safety, and ease - often within the first session.
Greater embodiment and presence
Feeling more “here,” grounded in your body, and connected to your inner life.
Creativity unleashed
Sensitivity becomes your creative fuel, opening new channels of expression and inspiration.
Restored vitality and coherence
Coherence allows life to move through you, where your heart, body and creativity align effortlessly.

you can experience:
was developed by Pino Ferroni, PhD, an Italian psychotherapist and Daoist Master who devoted his life to understanding the relationship between Vital Energy, the nervous system, and human consciousness.
Drawing from Western bioenergetics, Daoist energetic principles, and decades of clinical practice, Ferroni recognized that true healing does not arise from force or correction, but from restoring contact with the Shen - the conscious, organizing spirit that animates life.
This modality emerged from his insight that when the Shen is supported through slow, relational, and deeply listening touch, the body naturally settles, energy reorganizes, and a person’s innate capacity for regulation, vitality, and creative presence can re-emerge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Bioenergetic-Shen Treatment® is a gentle, integrative bodywork modality developed by Pino Ferroni. It works with the nervous system, Vital Energy, and the Shen - the conscious, organizing spirit - to support regulation, coherence, and whole-person well-being through slow, relational touch.
Sessions are unhurried and deeply attuned. Similar to massage therapy, you will undress but keep undergarments on, you will always be fully draped and you will lie comfortably on a warm treatment table. Shen Touch utilizes slow, rhythmic, and continuous touch, there is no force, manipulation, or performance required from you - your system is invited to settle and respond in its own timing.
This work is relational rather than mechanical. Instead of focusing on muscles, techniques, or symptom correction, Bioenergetic-Shen Treatment® prioritizes nervous system safety, presence, and energetic coherence. The touch listens rather than fixes, allowing regulation and vitality to emerge naturally.
Experiences vary, but many people report feeling calmer, more grounded, clearer, and more embodied. Some notice subtle shifts in breath, energy flow, emotional ease, or inner orientation. Changes often continue to integrate over the days following a session.
It is a distinct modality that bridges somatic awareness, energetic principles, and relational presence. While it can be deeply therapeutic, it does not replace medical or psychological care. Instead, it supports the body’s innate capacity for regulation and integration.
This treatment is well-suited for people seeking gentle, non-invasive support - especially those feeling overstimulated, fatigued, disconnected, or under chronic stress. It’s ideal for anyone who wants bodywork that is subtle, respectful, and deeply listening.
Some people experience meaningful shifts after a single session, while others benefit from ongoing support. Frequency is always guided by your needs, capacity, and life context.
