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.
