Born in Mendrisio, Switzerland, on 7 July 1971, for more than twenty years Patrizia Verdiani has accompanied people individually, and small group, on paths grouth, always using three hundred- and sixty-degrees personalized approaches. Her skills derive from multiple life experiences and from her tireless search for new "maps" to understand herself and reality. Already at nineteen she published an autobiography in which she recounts her "Ulyssic pilgrimage" through the streets of the world, in an attempt to reconcile with herself and to claim her own uniqueness. She worked as a decorator, graphic designer, typographer, also managing a small art department of a large company. She studied clothing techniques and engaged in the restoration of antique carpets. As a restorer, she graduated and specialized in the art of stucco, dealing with the restoration of numerous buildings, collaborating with the historical monument’s office. For a time, she co-founded and managed an art gallery, where she hosted artists and animated small experimental groups, ranging from conferences to dance, from meditation to yoga, from ethnic music to shamanic practices, from music therapy to aromatherapy. In parallel with her studies and work activities, she discovers that she has a gift in her hands and an innate ability to connect with people's experiences and aspirations, helping them to rediscover the lost sense of their daily life, in paths of both inner and outer harmonization. She deepens various forms of massage (lymphatic drainage, classic, sports, relaxing, holistic), counting among her clients big names in industry and politics, in the world of entertainment and sport, both in Lugano and abroad. In her journey, the art of massage reunites with the spirit of shamanism, until leading small experiential groups in the desert of North Africa, where participants could live the experience of the outer desert as a symbol of an inner space, accompanied by massage and Sufi dance, in a deep listening of themselves. She collaborates with the Laboratorio di Autoricerca di Base and offers her personalized work in different centers. Driven by the desire to assist others, she draws on the teachings of numerous masters and teachers of inner investigation, achieving various training also in counseling, with different approaches and orientations: philosophico-imaginal, existential humanistic and of generative psychology.
